The title basically explains it.How much adjustment is available?
Say I'm purchasing a pair of skis that have the bindings mounted for a BSL of 305mm, how large of a boot can I use with a remount?

Well as far as the specifics, it is hard to tell. But my buddy let me borrow his skis, and his mine.

He has a 326 BSL and mine are mounted for a 318(smallest setting they can go) and they adjusted just fine to fit his.

Hope that helps

Thank you sir.
I made good on my promise.
That's probably the best answer I'm going to get, so this thread may die or get deleted.

from my experience they have about 15-20mm's of movement on a good day, they don't adjust much but they definitely do adjust, let's see i've gone from 317 to 311 and it wasn't a stretch at all

it depends a lot where the binding was relative to the wormscrews when it was mounted. if it was made as small as possible and mounted for 305 then there's no way you can go smaller but you have a lot of room to go bigger, hope that makes sense

They're currently mounted for a 305 and I want to go to a 336.
Too much?

where are they mounted relative to the wormscrew? are they screwed in all the way?

gut feeling is no, but idk

take a picture of the 2 metal bars that hold the dildo on and i'll try to give you a ballpark
