If I buy used skiis, and they come with bindings, will my boots be able to fit those bindings?

Question

Nordica K9 Skiis, With Nordica Bindings.

I guess i wanna know if you can adjust the bindings?

Answer 1

The answer is yes.

But, judging from your question I think you could endanger yourself if you do it yourself. Do NOT mess with bindings unless you really know what you are doing. You need to know where and how to mount them correctly and safely, how to adjust all the settings on both toe and heel pieces, etc. Just a little mistake can make you break the bindings, the skis, and your legs.

Be safe and let the trained professionals do it for you.

Answer 2

Maybe is the only answer that can be accurate with this information.  Many bindings now are mounted on riser plates that are predrilled for different boot sizes, then they can be easily remounted without a problem.  A special type of screwdriver is needed to work on the bindings, and the best shops will probably charge about $25-$40 to do the work.  If your boots are too old, they will no longer meet DIN standards and will not work with the bindings as they should.  The modern binding system is designed to prevent unnecessary damage to your leg or ankle or knee and is an integral system that has improved skier safety world wide.  Do not work on your own bindings unless you are a trained and certified binding technician.  

   Some makes of bindings have more range adjustment than others.  Atomic has a long length adjustment, Look, and Rossignol are very short,  Tyrolia/Head, and Marker have a medium range.

   Hope this helps.

Answer 3

The Skis bindings will adjust a little bit by sliding the heel piece forward or backward.  you should take the skis and boots to a skis shop and they will adjust them for you.  If your boots are close to the same size as the previous owner, it will only take a couple minutes and a few bucks.  The bindings may have to be remounted if your boots are too big or small.  This will cost around $40 or $50.  you usually have to drop the skis off and pick them up later.

Answer 4

Yes

It might even look easy to DIY but save yourself the trouble and trip to the emergency room. Drop your boots and skis off at the tech shop. You can even wait until the morning you plan on skiing. the hills tech shop can do this in less than 10minutes and won't charge anymore than a few bucks, if anything, to do this for you. By the time you've sipped your first hot chocolate your skis are ready to hit the snow and you can forgo the risk of injury from improperly mounted bindings

The tech shop at my hill charges $15 to adjust bindings and test setting with vermont din tester. $25 for a complete remount-meaning bindings aren't mounted on a flex-rail and new holes have to be drilled and old holes refilled

Answer 5

Yes You can, in the back of each binding there is a little s***w, you can turn it to make them larger or smaller. but remember how many clicks, so that you make both sides even.

Answer 6

What kind of boots do you have.  How old are they?  If your boots are really old then they won't work with the newer bindings as the heel and toe are sized differently now.  

You are probably going to have to go to the shop to get the bindings worked on if they are too close or far apart.

Answer 7

you can always adjust the bindings or even replace them with a pair that will fit your boots. If you don't know what you are doing then let a professional help you. That is always the best and safest route.
