Informal poll time, thought it might be interesting to see what some of the top people in the sport have theirs set at. No name is too big or small, but include what binding you use!

Just curious, but why would you have a different DIN in the front and back? Never really thought about it before?

i just know for example my old old px12s (with the rotator-thingy in the heel piece) needed imo a slightly higher setting there since the heel pieces realesed a little faster

^haha one softer knee?
I'm 6'1" 173ish, and
Dukes on 202 Lotus 138s at about 12.5 or 13
Tyrolia Peak 18s on 189 One Lifes at at least 11
Tyrolia Peak 15s on 181 Pipe Cleaners at about 10(and they come off all the time(only when they should), since I'm real good at fucking up on large jumps).

With those I haven't ever thought "I wish my ski came off" when it didn't, or that my ski shouldn't have come off when it did(except maby on the One Lifes once or twice, but I don't remeber if that was before or after I bumped the din up to 11+).
