What's your DIN setting?

[skiNEwhere]

For normal skiing I stay on 10. If I plan on hucking cliffs though I'll crank it up to 12

You might as well ask what everyone's pant sizes are.

 

[skiNEwhere]

well that was unnecessary, if that offends you then you don't have to answer

11 everyday

I'll throw up the pant size poll

I'm actually not sure what I'm set at. ... will check and report back

No, it was necessary. It doesn't offend me so much as concerns me. Sharing DINs is no more relevant than comparing pant sizes or shoe sizes and at worst it could be dangerous if some idiot gets into a "this one goes to 11" cock waving competition. If you want to debate the merits of trusting the manufacturer charts that ski techs use, go for it. Posting numbers is at best no different than posting pant sizes and at worst could instigate someone to do something stupid.

I'm on the tech installed mark for someone my weight, age, and III+ ability. I don't crank it up for cliff jumps and I don't pre-release. I ain't posting my number... I don't want any one to feel inferior because they need to crank theirs up to feel secure.

but i'm cool if i crank it up to 11 right?

DIN Setting Calculator puts me at 5.5 DIN.

I rented demo skis all of last season, shop guys set 'em up/ 6.5 DIN.

If i go with Look Pivot 14 bindings on this years new skis i'll go with a 5.5 DIN.

Considering giving the Knee binding a try as i had a partially torn MCL years ago and allot of trouble with the cartilage gliding surface softening, all of which kept me from skiing for over two decades! Only it's hard to get past the idea of a 36mm stack height/6mm delta or 6mm of plastic toe lifter shims.

I agree with your comments but you did come off a bit harsh. Could have been a little more tackful.

Indeed. I go with what the chart says and leave it at that. I don't pre-release.

There's nothing harsh about that.

The tone was harsh not the comments. Riv does come off like that at times especially to newbies. I am not saying he was wrong.

If someone sets their DIN higher than it should be because of so-called cock waving; whose fault is that?

I'm not sure how you can detect tone over the internet? His post seemed innocuous to me.

Wording, especially second post. It comes off as condescnending to me at least.
