Power 140's Too Much?

I found a great price on some Rossignol Power 140's (or whatever their Jib Binding is called), that I am going to use on my new Pistols... I only have my DIN set at 6-7, and that is on the extreme lower end of what the binding is capable of. I know it is bad to have a binding set so that the spring is too tight (i.e a P12 or S912 binding set at 12), however should I be careful about setting the binding too loose? Thanks.

i think that setting it too loose could be problematic. i'd get a 12 so when you're at 6-7, you're right in the middle, as opposed to on either extreme end of the spectrum.

When i first got my bindings mounted at the shop they set the DIN to 5 (im 6'1, 205), the DIN at 5 was not doing anything for me, my bindings were releasing when i was buttering. So I cranked them up to 9. So depending on your size you probably dont want your DIN set too low because you'll fall out of them for no reason at all.

Well, given that they're Rossignol bindings, they're pretty good about releasing when they should and not releasing when they shouldn't. As a general rule, you want to buy a binding that leaves you in the middle of its range, so a power 120 of a P12 would suit you fine. however, as long as you're not at the very extreme edge of the binding (setting a P10 up to DIN 10, etc) it should work without any problems or deterioration of the springs.

They are sort of Silver/Greyish... I guess you could say a metalic sort of color. They look so-so, but I got them for 145 dollars, which would have been cheaper than pro-dealing it from work. It also already has the wide brake on it, which is nice. If I can get some P12 Jibs, with a wide brake for the same price, I will go with these, but a buddy hooked me up. I just don't want to put these on the new pistols, and have them so loose, that it messes everything up, and I have to remount the skis with new bindings.

A 7 DIN on power 140s is a 7 DIN on P12s, there wouldn't be any difference between the two.

you'll be fine. I have the p14 and as long as the din is above 5 (the lowest setting) they're fine, with 7 you'll have no problems.

also when i needed wide brakes they were only $15 from my local store so that shouldn't be a problem whatever you go for in the end
