Binding Degree Q

Hey guys,

I have LF watson bindings, and I wanna set them both to nine degees. And I'm not sure how to read the degrees. Each boot has a number on the left and a number on the rightside of the binding. So if I wanna set the degees to nine for one boot. Do I set the left and ride side of each boot to nine? Or do I set one side to 6 and the other side to 3 (on the same binding). So there's 4 numbers. im worried that if i set all four numbers to nine, is each boot gunna be 18 degrees or 9 degrees??

thanks

is there a reason why you want to set it to 9 degrees????

why not just set it to what your comfortable with

I have been riding with my new boots at 9 and it is comfortable. However, the last few times I have put in a long set, the outside of my front foot is a little sore. Should I turn them out a little more?

yes i would set them to a bit more. say 10-12 is more common.

yes if you want 10 degrees. you set both the inside and outside number on that 10 degree mark. this will give you ten degrees of duck out, not 20.

good luck!

Too much angle puts un-needed stress on the knees... after two knee surgeries i am extremely aware of this...

Jump off a chair or a couple steps... how your feet land (naturally) should be where you set your angle... then tweak if necessary.
