So I have a new pair of flat (i.e. non-system) groomer zoomers that came with a suspiciously (i.e. significantly out-of-the-norm relative to the rest of my quiver) forward factory-suggested boot center point. Among many reviews, one French review site gripes about the factory mount point and suggests that better overall performance can be had at -4 cm.
So I got myself a pair of demo bindings to assess. With a bit of paper template finagling, I can easily get 3.5 cm of rearward adjustment range with demo mount holes that won't interfere with where ever along that 3.5 cm range that I will eventually put the inserts for the "real" bindings on.
Alternatively, I can modify the demo binding mount (FYI, we're not talking about messing with some FEA-engineered molded/cast thing here; just putting in screw holes in new locations on a stamped steel plate) to milk out an additional 7 mm for a total 4.2 cm of range.
WWJD (What Would Joo Do)? TIA.
