Not possible.Quote:

There is only one angle people!
interesting^^ what stops it at exactly the right angle ?
There is a plunger on the end of the spring. This plunger rides on a round bushing as the heel rotates. That round bushing has one flat face that the plunger aligns to when the binding is engaged.Quote:

SirVic, being near the end of the adjustment range, would have the slackest possible angle and greatest clearance with the boot.
If ticketchecker is near the beginning of the adjustment range that could explain the discrepancy.
Or SirVic’s forward pressure is too high.
My boot is a hobbit shell, 285bsl. Does that account for difference between me and Vic?

I have read a number of threads on adjusting that binding that all bordered on whichcraft and it was hard to imagine without a binding to play with and not being a user
but the idea there is only 1 correct angle makes more sense,
thanx
I disagree, go take 3 turns out of your forward pressure and see what happens to your dildoe angle?Quote:

Compare the two dildoe angles?
I wondered that myself I'm 334Quote:

Sure with insufficient forward pressure you have tons of play to...play with.Quote:

That can absolutely mess with the angle of the dildo relative to the boot.
So I guess technically you aren’t wrong.
But you can not randomly change the dildo angle because you want/need to, which is what you seemed to advise.
IF forward pressure was too low your advice could solve the issue. If forward pressure was already set correctly your advice, although seemingly solving the issue, would put the binding out of proper adjustment.
Perhaps your advice should be “confirm your forward pressure is correct” rather than blindly suggesting to mess with the adjustment arms.
Still doesn’t change the fact there is only one correct dildo angle for any given setup with properly adjusted forward pressure.
But where in the adjustment range are you?Quote:

Grab it with your hand and twist, if it twist easy tighten a few turns until it doesn’t twist. Look at angle and see if it’s betterQuote:

So the angle changes with proper forward pressure? ;)Quote:

You have a good eye for detail in an off camber photo of half a binding (seriously) and your advise will hopefully resolve the issue.Quote:

Unless I am missing something, what I find interesting in these two pics is that the white indicator tab didn’t seem to move even though you adjusted 2 or 3 turns...Quote:

I won’t be near them to check until Tuesday.Quote:
