yeah so i've noticed a jiggle in my new p.jibs. it's kind of a jiggle you get when something's loose. it's the steel frame thing on the heelpiece and it's both bindings, i can easily jiggle them a couple of centimeters. adjusting shit hasn't changed anything. should i be worrying like I am or what?

No worries , they all do that when there broken in.
Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.

yeah that's not a problem. the heelpieces do that. don't worry about it. it doesn't affect the ride or the release.



my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

i'm thinking it's possible i've got p12s on my other skis and they've held up for about a decade with no baby fat jiggling going on

yeah, it sounds stupid. bindings shouldnt have anything shaking around like that, especially when 'breaking in' a new binding. i dunno, to me a binding should be as solid new as it is after 5 years. this breaking in shit sounds stupid

a couple of centimeters is a big deal, that is like an inch.
I am guessing you meant to say millimeters and that is normal, your first day landing switch will do that to one or both of your pivot bindings, it won't go any further and you have nothing to worry about, it won't jiggle when you are clicked in.

Whatever, waste your time on it and dont come cryiing to us when your shit isnt warrantied and they laugh in your face. Its normal dont be a bitch. An inch of movement is bad new's but a centemeter is no deal. Your heel keeps it , oh whatever i dont care.
Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.

all mine do it, don't worry about it, it's the bushings in the spring ends that hold the pivot heel piece straight that get worked a bit- won't affect anything

they have a weak spring in the pivot. its no big deal, they do nothing. it just returns them to center in a fall (the FKS binding dont have this, and they need retturnd to center after a fall) its nuthing to worry about. once you click in, they are solid.
