Din setting Question...

[barcolounger]

I also get me and the lady on the scale to make sure were still in the same bracket.

That sounds way more dangerous than running the wrong DIN.

Complex answer: The release settings basically are adjusted by tensioning a steel spring. A more relaxed spring means a higher force is required to release the binding, a relaxed spring obviously means less force is necessary to pop you out.

This makes no sense

did you mean that a more compressed spring needs a higher to release the binding, and you need less force to relesase from a less compressed spring.

1. find out what DIN setting you require
2. buy the binding you like that encompasses that setting
3. set the binding to that number
4. go skiing

Certainly I did mean that. Sorry for the mistype. 50 replies and no one noticed, thanks for pointing out the obvious.

would this speak to the forces a spring generate's becoming more progressive as opposed to linear as the spring is completely compressed ?

There is definitely more to the properties of springs. If it really does interest you read up on Hooke's law, e.g. on Wikipedia.

I skimmed Hooke's law but found it over my head with many equations and they didnt have the coles notes version
