 |
|
| has anyone noticed or had a problem with the amount of space in the toe area on the sphinx or transits? when i tried them on they felt great but there was way to much room around my toes. do they get annoying when you are riding or does it not affect you at all? they are definitely snug enough everywhere else and the binding is the right size for me. |

Yeah, I noticed that too, and when I bought them I had them tighten down the toe areas. They were a little too tight because the guy kinda just guestimated, but now they have stretched out a little bit and they are incredible.

whirlynuke02, I asked about that, and the guy was like "dude, I wouldn't get into it yourslef unless you have done it before." I looked at it and I think that the screws are all along the baseplate on the underside. looks pretty involved. When I replaced the overlays on a pair of bindings a couple of years ago, even with all the screws right out on top, it was a real chore. You could ask your local shop about it, and see what they say (about you doing it or them)

I've adjusted my ultras probably 10 times. The overlays are easy to adjust the underlays are a b!tch. It took me a couple hours for those.
