Position of 75mm Binding on Ski
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2023 1:12 pm
I am going to mount Voile 201 75mm bindings on Fischer OTX Spider 62 skis for my Alpina Alaska 75mm boots. I sent an email to Fischer to determine where the bindings should be mounted, as instructions with the Voile bindings stated I should. After about a week, Fischer stated I should put the pin-line on the balance point. I found the balance point by balancing the ski on a straight edge. There was about one-quarter inch difference in the two skis, so I'm planning to go with the average. However, I have a question or two. I assume the pin-line on a 75mm binding is where the pins are located, right? Out of curiosity, is the pin-line on an NNN-BC boot where the bar is? If so, then isn't the boot location different, with the NNN-BC boot being closer to the balance point?
Looking in the wiki, binding placement seems to be a somewhat contentious issue, with some using chord length, boot placement, or balance point. I just want the most commonly accepted position, with no favor given to grip, glide or downhill performance. Can someone help with this?
