^yes those are both very good numbers to set them at. works perfect. it makes your skis feel more in contact with your boot. making turns much sharper and faster

your doing a very dumb thing maxing out your din settings....binders are deisgned to be used a the middle of the din range...if you have a binding with a max din of 10 and your pegging it at 10...you are not only gonna pre-release more often due to lack of rebound but also risk serious knee injuries (PCL) due to to much foward pressure....

din's dont make the man...your skiing does.
Once again, ONLY idiots max out their dins, if your that hard core that you need to have a 15 din setting you should have bindings that go to 18-21...race stock! which means HEAVY metal

Seriously let a shop set you up. If you prerelease then bump it up one. You'll regret overcranking when you're lying in the snow first day of the year with a ruined knee.

how are you meant to have it when your jibbing? lower, so you dont pop your knee, or higher so it doesnt release if you land a bit awkward?

^I put mine a tiny bit lower so if i get some odd angles on a rail bail the come off. but high enough that they stay on when u hit rails.

depends on your height and weight and your skill and your riding style.

i am 6'2", 70 kg and do mostly park-riding and all-mountain. i sometimes carve around with 80 km/h and reach easily 110 km/h on the groomers.

my din setting is 9 or 10, never had problems.

if you max out your din to be more hardcore you will only be able to ski for about three month and your acls will snap like a 50 year old rubber band.

well I'm scared my boots will pop out and get me killed hoping into a gnarly chute so I'd rather take the risk on my knees. I usually keep them around 12. But make sure you don't set your dins too close to the low or high end of the range (within 1 point of max or min) because I've been told by a lot of people that they don't work properly so close to the limit.
If you have any doubts about the correct setting tell me your boot size, height, weight and what kind of skiing you do and I'll give you a rough estimate, I was a tech for a few years so I can prolly guess closeish

^^^good point, dont get to close, on a 10 max binding, dont get over 8, because on 9 it wont work properly and you wont see it open on 10.

Its kinda been around alot and been in a few articles." - TravisMC in a thread where everyone made fun of the creator who asked if chads had been hit with skis. thx alot

i used to ride some shitty markers and what people are saying here is correct, do not put them to the max. thats what i did and when i took a hard fall, instead of my skis releasing they came off because the shitty bindings were destroyed.


and more, much more than this, I did it my way
