can u change the size the boot fits in (like say 26 or 27) without having to take it to a shop or something. like u can change the old style bindings by that thing u flip up in the back then u put it down. how can u change reactors like do you unscrew something or pop something up or off. hows it done?? thanx

it can be done, but unless you know all about the reactors, don't do it yourself.

Sure I'm sure. I know exactly how to adjust the reactors, but I'm saying I wouldn't suggest trying it on your own unless someone with knowledge of the reactors has actually shown you how to adjust them properly. Nothing good ever comes from people messing with their gear (esp bindings) when they don't really know what they are doing.

He's not going to be able to explain it over the internet dude. It's not rocket science but it is complicated, and if you do it wrong you will break the binding.

95% of the time, they break because people try to adjust them when they don't know what they're doing.

If you want to risk breaking your bindings there are two little tabs that you slide out one on the right side on the top and one on the left side on the bottom. But you can break them so be very careful if you try it.

Reactors feel like nothing when you ski them. unless you have chicken legs you can handle them.

Too much force isn't the problem. It's people not knowing how to lock it in properly, so that when you ride on it, it can't take that kind of strain.

Have a certified tech do it. Otherwise, don't be surprised when it breaks.

It's not just locking it in, its finding the proper forward pressure as well. Dude, seriously just let it go or find someone who is versed in working with the reactor binding.
