Just bought Lange Comp 120 FR's, the sole length is 307mm. My old boots had a sole length of 316mm. Can I adjust my marker 1200 comp bindings to accept the new sole length and if so how??

That's probably at the limit of how far the binding can move, but it can't hurt to try.
On the back of the heel, on the bottom near the track is a phillips head screw. Crank this backwards until it looks close. Engage the boot into the binding. Adjust the screw until the top edge of the head is flush with the heel housing. At this point, the forward pressure is set. Move the DIN if required, and you're done.
If you can't move the heel far enough back to have the screw flush with the housing, it may be permissible to be SLIGHTLY too tight; that is, the head of the screw inside the housing ~1mm or so. Any more than this and a remount will be required.
and...wait for it....

i thought the best place to leave arrogance was in the dumpster, but i guess I was wrong. BTW Thanks to all those that helped, saved my day of skiing for sure.

Sollys work.Quote:

See, the lemmings have just arrived...
so true, I heard on an internet forum that those binders where not OK so I'm going to make fun of you untill you join our side :)
Ha, I'd like to see your marker riding asses keep up with anyone who has ridden enough to know better (lemmings:rolleyes: )
fresh out of high shool in the midwest and my first year in the mountains, 1999, I was sportin the sweet new M51s (set at 12 of 14) on my extra fat :rolleyes: solly x-mountains. man did I get sick of wallowing through waist deep fluff to find my friggin skis while my wiser mountain friends waited for me at the bottom standing in there drivers.
call me a lemming or whatever but my pure hatred and distain of the marker binding is well deserved.
go to any freestyle/freeride comp and tell me how many riders are daring enough to drill there boards for those death traps.
my jibber buddy said that the main problem was with the upward release mechanism its not designed to handle the force of any decent airs into the pow where sometimes a slightly backseat landing is needed.

I have DIN 24 metal MRR's on my Super G skis. They don't budge, and I'm a fatass.
That is all.
Hey, if they don't work for you, they dont work for you. Just don't go skiing down the mountain telling people there riding shit because you don't like a product their using. Your marker senario is the same senario I had with sollies so I switched to marker and have never had a problem since. But I don't care that you love brand x bindings because I know your having a good time skiing whatever you ski.

AWESOME a marker flame war, its been too long.
Maury, I am out of control. Yeah, I use drugs. I can do what I waunt, biatch! Yeah, I have sex, and I don’t use protection! It’s my hot body; I’ll do what I waunt! I don’t go to school and I kill people! What-evah! I’ll do what I waunt!

And as for you, I bet the salmon rep gives you a nice reach around back at the lodge. The kids around here just never learn.Quote:

Why don't you try answering my question, which was deadly serious?
Let me ask it again:
How many of those team riders are on stock DIN 14 binders?
Bueller? Bueller? anybody?

Markers suck, even the high din ones age much more rapidly than say a p18
or 916.
Yes. Well so does the original point that listing a bunch of famous team riders proves a binding companys worth. My point was a counter point to the original point.Quote:

Just wanted to note, Core Shot, that my attitude does not reflect that of JW, who is apparently is doing something with his life.
Admittedly, my life has no purpose lately. But JW's contribution so far is to make 4 posts in favor of Marker bindings. That is all.Quote:

My buddy is a 200 lb ex-stream skier, and he has no problem whatsoever with the Marker 1400 Free's. In fact, he prefers them over other bindings, and doesn't even get paid to ski them anymore. He just put a brand new pair on a new set of Prophet 130's. Works fine for him...
The foward pressure on there bindings are all cranked. I had a rep tell me that they go three to five clicks in so they will stay in the binding. Do you really want to ski a binding that you have to overload with foward pressure so they dont pre-release. And by the way, with foward pressure like that you dont come out, your leg comes off.Quote:
