Look P18 Forward Pressure / Length adjust?

**summit** · 12-01-2007, 12:37 PM

OK... maybe I'm stupid... how do I adjust the length on a P18?

look on the upper part of the arms that hold the heelpeice...right where the heelpeice pivots to click in...on the upper part of those arms there is a posidrive deal that you can turn...lefty loosey. make sure both sides are even and voila.

hope that made sense, it's hard to put in words

Cool... how do I tell if the forward pressure is correct? I don't see an obvious indicator...

I just sort of get it so it looks right and give'r
good question though.

I'm dying to know what you're doing with P18s.

Tired of breaking bindings with your gigantic hucks?

Forward pressure is adjusted by those same posidrive screws on the back. There is a white piece of plastic on the lower part of the binding behind the brake plate. That should line up with a line that is on the lower part of the heel piece for hte right forward pressure.

I will be selling the P18s. I am very happy with my P12s. However, I would like to ski the skis the P18s are on before I pull the binders off.

Sometimes the forward pressure needs a bit of fine tuning.

Just checked my fks 155s and the forward pressure arms are screwed in as far as they go (past the first of the 3 lines). Shop free handed the mount, and I guess they wound up like that since thats how the bindings were adjusted when I took them in.

Am I alright here? Or should I get the heels moved up ~1cm? Haven't had any problems in the 3 days I skied them, but when I go to take them off, the boots come out before the heel has released completely.

ALSO, how much adjustment are in those heels? 5 mm?

**gwat** · 01-07-2008, 12:04 PM

they've got about 15mm of adjustment.
I adjust mine so they are just tight enough that the heel of the boot doesn't move up and down when I reef on it. The forward pressure indicator isn't totally precise.
