Adrenaline trouble shooting.
I am trying to troubleshoot a pair of Adrenalines with a friend.
They worked fine until they didn't.
On one ski, the binding was so hard to move forward that she broke a pole or two. It was consistently the same ski, so I don't think her problem was icing.
She brought them to a shop. The tech backed off some screws- maybe just the rear two shouldered screws. This caused it to engage and disengage more easily, and, predictably, introduced slop.
I call BS on this solution. Something changed between when they worked, and when they didn't. And I doubt the problem was some screws screwed themselves in deeper, and just needed help to get back to their original position. And, now those screws are not set- nothing really holding them in place.
So- any thoughts on this?

Are we talking just a cleaning, or do these things ever need to be pulled off and buffed out?

Did he remove it or just loosen screws? Originally Posted by HHTELE

FWIW, mine don't slide real well either, I just actuate mine by hand tho.

sounds like the slots are too skinny, the screws too fat, or the chamfer at the head of the screws isnt long enough to allow the plate to move freely beneath the head of the screws.

My understanding is that he just backed off the screws. This, to me just sounds like a bullshit approach. Originally Posted by tuco

For starters, it introduced noticeable heel slop. And, if they weren't too tight last year, they didn't just tighten themselves.
The slots on her heel plate have more wear than yours with a bit of ovaling on the forward end.
Sounds like removal and a serious cleaning are in order. What is a good dry lube?
