Thanks for everyone's advice. Yep, all it needed was a little raise on the AFD. I had a tough time identifying where it was just touching the AFD so the technique I used was to poke the afd with a screw driver. If the afd quickly slid back to its originally spot, then it wasn't touching, if it stuck then there was too much pressure, if it slowly slide back to its resting position I decided this was light pressure and this is what I would go with. Maybe that's useful to someone else.
Skied great yesterday but I did have a couple heel prereleases. There's no reason why I couldn't increase the heel din and leave the toe din? I know people do this with standard alpine bindings so I assume this shouldn't be a problem for the shifts. (in before "ur gunna die").

I go 1 more DIN ( or DIN like mark ) on the vibram heel of any AT boot in a frame binding
My theory is the vibram sole compresses & the pre-release happens when vibram uncompresseses, the
same binding with plastic DIN soles would work fine cuz plastic doesnt compressLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

That explains what a ski tech was doing with a screwdriver on a different set of MNC bindings for me...

1 more din seems to stop the heel popping out in bumps & G-outs,
I also go 1 mark higher for the vertical release than the lateral release on my Dynafit Verticals & RadicalsLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I have used my for a few days now. No issues in ski mode and love how they ski. Walk mode works perfect most of the time, but some skins I can not keep it locked out. Not sure why and use a heli strap to boots to keep them locked. Can not figure out what I'm doing wrong. Fine one day, and snaps down the next. Or fine for one lap, snaps down the second lap up.

Yeah, it still seems to be sliding down...although in the last week since posting I may have managed to find the sweet spot, and it hasn’t dropped since

I pull up to the first notch, then have to give it a gentle tap with hammer fist into the second. I didn't worry about damaging anything until reading your post haha. They gotta be in that second notch yo, so idk what else to do. Quite a few days and lotsa transitions, so far so good with this method.
same thing. love tap with hammer fist into position, sounds to me like it's just not quite seating with the pulling effort.

Tried digging through this thread but couldn't find anything. Anyone know how the screw pattern of the STH2 and Shift toes line up? Thinking of swapping out my shifts for STH2s and trying to decide if it'll be a full remount or if I might be able to just do the toes.

Shift to STH2 you can re-use 2 of the toe holes and STH2 bsl has to be 10mm less than Shift BSL.
So if your shift bsl is 320, your STH2 bsl has to be 310, which is fine since the STH2 has 15mm travel each way.
I’m considering doing the same on a pair of mine

Awesome, thanks man. Same boot so the BSL wouldn't change. There's only a single mount so I could probably get creative.

No unfortunately it's not like that.
The Wardens and STH2 have the same mount pattern, except the wardens most forward 2 holes at the toe are a few cm more forward than on the STH2
The Shift and STH2/Warden mounts share ONLY 2 holes at the toe. All other holes are different.
To avoid hole conflicts, if you have an existing Shift mount on the line (0) for a 320 BSL mount, you'll have to mount your STH2 for around 310mm (10mm BSL less) at around 0. So if you keep the same boot, your actual boot center will be approx 5mm rearward.
So basically it's almost a full new mount.
Red = Shift @ 320 / 0
Cyan = STH2 @ 310 / 0

Thanks for the clarification stuntmanbro, wish there was a binding that shared more holes with the shift.

Toe lock-out not functioning
Few posts recently saying a similar thing...
One of my shift bindings works perfectly, the other has a problem with the toe pins lock-out in walk mode.
When I pull the lever to partial lockout it flips back down to unlocked again straight away, and when I pull it to total lock-out, it stays for 10-15 strides, then flips out again back to totally unlocked. The opposite side works perfectly; once I pull it to full lockout it stays there all morning.
I've tried it after completely defrosted overnight, so I don't think it's ice related, and I've tried both boots; each boot works perfectly in one binding, and not in the other. It's been like this since the very first hike.
It's a brand new set up, bought from Ellis-Brigham back in the UK, so it's not worn out or anything.
Does anybody have any ideas on any simple adjustments that might help with this, or am I just going to need to tie the lever up to stop it flipping down while I'm hiking. As things stand, partial lockout doesn't even work, so they are pretty unstable and I came right out of the binding several times during a hike yesterday morning.
Any help very gratefully received.
Cheers
Will
PS. Doubt it makes any difference, but the boots are Scott Cosmos and are <1 week into their use.
