Changed Shell Sizes, Will I Have to Remount?

I changed boots, going from an SPK in a 26.5, to a Dalbello in a 25.5. I was wondering if I will have to remount my skis, or if there is anything that i could adjust on the bindings so that they could still work with my new boots?

the forward pressure can be adjusted most likely. it all depends on how great of difference in BSL there is between the two boots and how far you can slide your forward pressure. take it to a shop and they'll know what to do, and you'll probably learn how to do it quickly too.

Boos sole length. And most bindings can move forward or backward a size from where they were originally mounted so most likely you are ok unless you have fks which dont adjust.

so, youre going to one size bigger boot, that happens to be 10mm smaller in BSL??

either way, get a screw driver, stick it in the screw at the back, turn until bindings fit new boot size.
no remount required.

It'll come down to where on the track the heel piece is, most of the time techs try to mount them in the center of the track...but sometimes due to adjustments they have to be moved forward or backwards. You might have to remount, but most likely you'll be able to have the heel piece adjusted to fit the new boot. If you buy your boots at a legit shop, they'll adjust your skis for you.

You'll be good if you can adjust your track foward.

ah yes, you did say that.

ok, so instead of turning the screw counter-clockwise, you turn it clockwise.
either way you wont need a remount
