    Bro's: Tele mounting points.

    Has anyone "back"mounted their Bro's. I put the pinline at 89 cm (from the tip) on mine, but I'm curious how they might ski a few cm back. Anyone tried it ?

    Is that the chord center??

    Your mount seems about right.

    Bro mount for alpine boot center is 103.8 to 104.5cm back.
    If you assume 320mm average sole, your mount is 105cm back to boot center (89 plus 1/2 of 32). So your flat front foot is 1 cm back. Of course, the ball of your trailing foot is way forward, but thats the tele dilemma.
    You could move back to enhance the rear ski, but then you will be wayy back on the front foot.

    Chord center is at 90cm ( tip to end of running surface split in half). My boot center is at 104.8cm. This is a good spot for all around performance, but it does require a bit of extra attention when it is soft and deep. I guess I should just ski faster...

    I guess if you had really active bindings, it would be more advantageous to be back farther, to prevent tip dive on the trailing ski.
