T0AST.Rule 1 of used binding din club is don't ask for advice for your used binding dins.
If you can't verify your boots and bindings are serviceable and adjusted correctly while reading a DIN chart take it to a pro. It's really important things are setup right to give you the best chance of not dying.
BradFiAusNzCoCaHe’s right. I know how to tech bindings, and I tech a few of mine, but I like to take them to a shop afterwards to verify the DIN is within range and the springs aren’t too stiff/soft. It’s just not worth breaking yourself off to save $$.
skiermanIt doesn't sound like you "tech" bindings much. "I BRING TO SHOP TO MAKE SURE DIN IS WITHIN RANGE!"
LOL what the fuck are you talking about?

KilaTsunamiAre they mounted? Idk why they look photoshopped or extremely crooked to me lol..
Just use whatever din your ski techs machine tells you too and if it’s not enough just bring it back n tell em to raise it up, it’s nbd

Word_of_the_LordYou're fucking retarded
3maniaI’ve had 20 pairs of Pivots 12.15. 18’s. All set to 10 and i have yet to die.
SofaKingSickdood
owenobrienI’m gunna get a pair of pivots, but don’t know which one to get. I have to use the prodigy 2.0s so I’m already worried about the weight. You think the 15s will overwhelm me? or will I not feel it at all
KilaTsunamiI feel like I’m missing something here lol smh fuck
KilaTsunamiAre they mounted? Idk why they look photoshopped or extremely crooked to me lol.. nice setup tho man.

3maniaThe thing about the 15's is they're metal, more durable but heavier, 14's are lighter and prob enough binder for most
owenobrienSo what would u recommend if I’m using the prodigy 2.0s. I plan on using the binding for as long as possible too
Gordman15. it'll be more durable and the weight is so close to your foot that you won't notice it much if at all.
maaatttIf you're having a shop raise your dins instead of doing it yourself, you shouldn't be choosing your own setting
SofaKingSickhaha nothing big, i bet you just took a quick glance on a small screen or whatever, but those bindings are just placed on top of the skis for the shot, they're not mounted. if they were it'd be a straight disaster of a mount
SofaKingSicki don't think he's asking a used-binding-specific question here, i think this is the just the age-old question of whether you can rely on the highest or lowest setting in a binding's din range (P18s are 8-18)
i think you're fine OP. people have gone back and forth about this forever but i've never seen anything that convinces me that these bindings are actually being sold with the edges of their claimed ranges not being functional. i'm sure you're good to go
deelonmuskThis is an age-old question, and to be clear, the answer to this question is that a binding is certified to each release value within its range, so release-wise, there's no difference between running a DIN of 8 on a Pivot 12 or a Pivot 18. If your DIN is in that range, it will work for you. There is some merit in giving yourself 1-2 DIN on each end of the binding in case you need/want to change your DIN setting, though.
BradFiAusNzCoCaThe impression I always got from this old wisdom was always that “the spring is overcompressed or too loose”. I imagine most companies now account for that “slop”, so to speak. Almost like an old wives tale of skiing
