Adjusting pivot bsl

So I need to adjust my pivots to take a boot which is a couple of mm too long for the current setup (so it’s within range). Looking at some other threads, people are advising not to do it if you have no clue or you could end in getting a remount. Is there much more to it than just incrementally adjusting both the screws on the stems to the required length and then making sure forward pressure is still ok? Just want to make sure I’m not missing something, Im pretty happy adjusting my own equipment so not too sure what the remount issue is which has been referred to unless I literally unscrew the stems so far that it comes apart

if the bsl is within the range then you should be fine. there are 3 ridged rings on each heel arm, you just dont want to go past the last one

Sounds like you’ve got it. It’s really
Simple however...

You first want to line up the white tab with the two black lines on the heel piece, that is usually real close to the sweet spot.

There’s some other threads here on ns that can go into greater detail on fine tuning them after they’re close.

In reality yes, you put your knees at risk. But it’s not rocket science and my local shop has messed it up big time so I’ve been setting mine on my own for years. No issues if you just pay attention
