I want to be able to adjust the Dynafit heels 3 1/2 sizes so the rental plate would be sweet. My comfort bindings only adjust 21/2 sizes. We are looking to set my girl friend up with some 'Good-" skis and I want to be able to "borrow" them. I plan to position her 20 mm forward of boot center, which will put me 15 cm behind boot center. Sound like a plan? William Lou and Tom,

I plan on mounting them on DPS lotus 120's and having the 12din + rental plate will make it easy to share the stoke.

What I'd do if I were you is just set your bindings to the lower setting and use that with your longer boots and see if it works. Probably will. If you're not a super experienced skier you probably won't notice the change in boot/foot position on ski, but it can make a difference.

I had the heel re-mounted so that I can adjust between my old 28's (~316mm?) and my new 27's (~306mm). Unfortunately, the original mount of my TLTs couldn't move forward enough for the new boots. Two comments: 1. Switching between boot sizes also affects the correct DIN setting. Follow Lou's wisdom and don't make DIN an ego thing or suffer the consequences. The difference is minimal for small differences in boot size, but it accumulates. 2. Moving the midsole forward on the ski (switching to a smaller boot) should theoretically affect the way that the set-up skis. I don't expect this to be noticable, but then again, I'm not the best skier on earth either. Just got my skis back from the shop.
