I did a search, didn't come up with any immediate results... I've heard people say do and don't as far as loosening DINs over the summer, what is the verdict?

loosen them, think about it, would you rather be all tighten up this summer or would you want to loosen up and chill while your not skiing, same goes with your pins.

for summer storage yeah. loosen them all the way down... no need for them to be all tight if you're not gonna use them.

So if i wanted to do this, id only twist the front toe piece to 0? Do i have to do anything with the back dildo piece or just leave it?

wow at first i thought you were talkin about din settings for like summer urban and stuff, and i was pretty confused why people would tell you to turn it down to 0. anyway, i'd recommend keeping them where you have 'em and hittin some rails!

Lower 'em or don't. Either way, they'll be fine next season...

You can lower the toe piece if you want, but on the heels you only need to put the heel up and they'll be ok.

well I thought I heard the arguement before that the binding pieces were designed to be in tension you know... and that loosening them may change how they react to being retightened... this also coulda just been a dream of mine. I am going to loosen em up on my main sticks and leave em on the others as I dont really care about the others
