I know how, but for liabiltiy reasons i really cant tell you. Let me explain. by me telling you how to adjust your forward pressure, its making me liable for what you do. further more, by you setting your own bindings you release the binding manufacture of all liability, which means that in the event of a fall, and you break yourself, you cant get shit from that binding company. so my reccomendation is go to a shop and get it done.

get a screwdriver and start turning screws until the boot fits in

not all bindings adjust by screws...
go to your shop, they'll tell you how to do it most likely, or do it for like $10.

eric understands what im talking about, just go to a shop and get it done right, otherwise you will be kicking yourself when you break your leg cuase you set your forward pressure to high.

There is more to adjusting a binding than 'just getting it so it fits'. There is usually more than one place that will allow your boot to fit into your binding, and not all of them are the right place.
If you've outgrown your boots, chances are that your DIN settings need to be changed as well. Also, with a new boot, they will have to set the toe height differently. So just take it to a shop and get it done correctly and completely.

hey vtrider...either you tell me how to do it or you shut your mouth...if i bring it to the ski shop they're gonna charge me $10 and watever I do out there they're not going to be responsible for it so it won't make any difference will it?

You have to go to the shop man or else you get in total shit if you get hurt.

i wouldn't say total shit.........i would just say...SHIT OUT OF LUCK. I think what everyone is saying is that if you don't know EXACTLY how to do this, you should go have it done by an expert. There are probably more variables that go into this equation than you may realize. I know that before I broke into the business I didn't realize it either..

exactly, say salomon for example, you have to do din, forward pressure, toe hight adjustment, and wing adjustment, miss one of the 4 and you could prerelease or not release at all, which is not good.

And all these people going 'OMG SALOMON PRERELEASE SHIT' could just all be either (a) dumb-asses who adjusted their bindings themselves or (b) went to a shop that didn't know shit. They do exist.
I'd never thought about that before. Considering how many people on here talk about cranking their dins, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they adjusted them themselves as well.

on tyrolia there is usualy a tab on the back that you lift and the heel piece will slide.
Describe the tab if you have one and it should either have scores/line or arrows and those need to be lined up within a certain area. If the boot is a lot bigger you will have to remount the ski completely.

if you want it done well, go to a shop, but you can jsut find where it keeps the adjusting tight, and move it to fit your boot
