Axial2 200 weirdness.....

[eshed]

So jong me if you want, I searched before. I promise

Ate shit with a moderate yardsale today and when the good samaritan brought me my ski, I couldn't step back in. Upon further examination, the heel piece had moved back a good inch compared with the other one. After mono-ing it to the lodge, I looked closer and the adjustment screw was no longer sticking out the back of the tailpiece. These are the new black axial 2 200 from Rossi. Got them used on a pair of skis and they looked immaculate.

When I got home, I fiddled with a screw driver and with some prying, got the screw to pop back out the back with the tailpiece sliding back forward into it's proper position. Everything seems to be checking out fine now. Anybody else had this issue or heard of it?

Sounds like your forward pressure wasn't set correctly. I'm familiar with the axial 2 WC 120/150 bindings, but I'm guessing the 200 works the same way. There should be two marks on the mounting plate for the heel piece and an arrow on the sliding section that show the 'OK range' for where the sliding heel piece can be adjusted to. The notch on the screw for forward pressure should just barely be visible when you have a boot in the binding, and the arrow should be inside the ok range.

thanks for the reply. I did have the forward pressure adjusted correctly before, I'm pretty sure. Ah well, they are working fine now.

There isnt a lot of room to move either way on those, it sounds like your boot is probably too big, you should probably re-drill the heel, according to the rossignol SAS 200 guide if it is outside the OK area the heel may pop out the back, which is probably what happened to yours
