Are the LF Transits and Sphynx adjustable?

[Wakebrad]

I need an XL for the length of the foot-bed on the bindings but when I tried on a pair of '06 XL sphynx I had a lot of heal-lift even when I had them tightened all the way down. Is it possible to tighten down the wraps on these bindings?

[madtekniques]

They make a Large-Long that I assume has the wraps of the Large but the foot bed of the XL's. Maybe that will work?

[Wakebrad]

madtekniques, yeah I've seen those. Also some XL narrows which are probably the same thing. The problem is they are hard to come by. I think the sphynx would work perfectly if I could tighten them down but I want to make sure before I buy some. The guy at the shop wasn't sure.

answer = yes. I adjusted the overlay on my XL's to fit the top of my foot better.

ttuclint, sweet that was what I was looking to hear. What bindings do you have? And you adjusted them to be tighter? Was the process difficult?

I am leaning toward the '05 Sphynx.

I have the '05 Transits. I needed to make the toe area much tighter on one foot and a little tighter on the other. Took me about an hour. Not too difficult.

1. Take heel piece off
2. Take off one side of the plastic strip covering the screws ( I did the inside)
3. Take out only the screws that are holding that piece to tighten
4. Pull it down to where you think it needs to be. ( the rubbery part, not the cloth part)
5. Put screws back in and test fit - if too tight go back up, loose pull more out.
6. Cut off excess material that you have pulled out and put binding back together.

the 2006 stuff isnt adjustable. its all glued or stitched. there's no screws holding the overlay to the base. if you want adjustability you'll need to get 2005 gear.

Thanks for the help guys. Sucks that the '06 stuff isn't adjustable.
