What to do I about my dins

I have pivot 14s on a pair of wets that are set to 8 rn and I weigh 150 lbs. I want to crank them up bc whenever I do butters I double eject but last weekend I fell on rail and twisted the shit out of my ankle because my ski took to long to eject so I am not sure what to do. On a side note sometimes when I click in, the heel piece doesn't come up all the way and I have to push it up so it might be an issue with my bindings or the way its adjusted for my boot.

Take them and get them checked, pressure could be off

Take them into a shop 100%… unless you know exactly what are you doing, I would strongly advise against ever messing with your dins, I’ve seen countless torn menisci and other ligaments torn due to this

plus if there is a problem wrong, it’s most likely that you are not going to be able to fix it, so hit two birds with one stone

Sounds like it’s adjusted for a smaller bsl than your boot

I second this. Had the same issue with having to manually grab the dildo to engage the binding. Turns out the shop fucked up both the wtr/alpine turn dial and also had my forward pressure jacked sky high.

Bring your setup to a shop and have them inspect the forward pressure and test the release. There's a fair amount that can go wrong, from incorrect fp to worn boots to old bindings that just don't have consistent hold anymore. If everything is good, remember you can always adjust your heel and toe DINs separately, I do that on a pair of tyrolias bc I eject the heels on butters a lot but almost never eject the toes.
