If were going to be that particular wouldn't you measure from the surface of the sole on the inside of the boot? Easiest way to test would be to put an L-square in the boot (as if it were a foot) and then measure the angle of the vertical portion when the boot is on the ground vs. in the binding.

At the end of the day, you're looking at the boot board surface, but you'd need to take x-rays to make truly valid comparisons.
Since every manufacturer has a different interpretation of all of the dimensions comprising the various standards (whether it be 9523 or otherwise), the best we can do is to make an educated guess as to measuring points that translate across boots.

Speaking of job, did I do a hack job here? Threw inserts on another set of skis. Kept the toe but moved the heel back 1.0cm back to avoid some conflicts. My boot is 327mm so these are technically mounted for 337 therefore. Thus when mounted with correct forward pressure, the heel is 10 mm forward of “middle.”
On a napkin plus eyeball, this looked fine knowing the 30mm of adjustment. But mounted, I’m leery.

Day one on the shifts today, feel awesome on the down.
They are way less harsh than my kingpins and have stopped some juddering or chatter when my carbo katana’s are on an extreme edge dumping speed on firm.
They do, however, seem prone to icing under the brake pedal which makes clicking in, and latching the brakes up hard. Worse icing than my kingpins for sure.

The first time out I also had this issue with ice under the brake. Since then I have been much more careful to shake out the snow prior to clicking down and it has helped significantly.
The issues I have so far (1 major, 2 minor):
1. Brakes falling down (major) - this can get very annoying depending on the day
2. Snow under brakes - as you mentioned, this happens but is easy to deal with, I just stick my pole in a clean it out
3. Riser - I would like a higher riser for certain days, especially when the skin track is already set.
Overall, the binding is amazing, but the rise/brake interface could be much improved. I don't know why they couldn't of spent more time sorting this system out. The toe piece is amazing, but the brake/riser system seemed like it could easily improved.

Hmm.
Can the plastics of the brake area handle a shot of silicone spray?

Brakes deploying while skinning up were a major issue with the kingpin (under-reported here on TGR IMHO), and I really hope the shift doesn't have the same issue.

And if you are in Tecnica Cochise, the boot board in that has probably around 7mm (just a guess) of delta that isn't planar, but a big dramatic step in heights, occuring at the back of the arch. Where a mach 1 is flatter and planar.
It is all guessing in the end. But the numbers are relevant if you are keeping the same boot and switching bindings.

Has anyone had any experience mounting the shift on a ski that pervisioly had look pivots 14 mounted? I am woundering if I would have issues with the new screw holes conflicting with the old ones
