hi all,
i just bought a new pair of boots and the sole length on the new pair is 328 as opposed to 330 for the old pair. will i need to have my bindings readjusted for 2mm?

yes, otherwise they will pre-release a lot on you.

put your boot on, clip in, and twist your foot, if it wiggles it will end up pre-releasing and you need to adjust the forward pressure, if not then you should be ok. But, if it does pre-release on you, that's what needs to be fixed.

2mm SHOULD be negligible.

that being said, it may not be, so the best advice is take it to the shop where u got the boots and get them to check it, they should do it for free.

one more thing, your din should not change because of the 2mm difference, but ur forward pressure might be slightly different, which is an easy adjustment.

ya, what i did was to put my new boot in. and on the side of the rossi bindings there is a forward pressure indicator and it is in the right place.
