Strada binding numbers?

[BraceMaker]

I'm seeing the 66" strada binding number as 28/58" - This is a horseshoe number I would assume - anyone have input on an Ankle Axis number?

[thager]

28 5/8" maybe?

 

[BraceMaker]

fine yes that is supposed to read 28 5/8" - not the improper fraction above.

 

Are rossi numbers medial ankle or horseshoe/back of binding?

It would appear that @Chris Rossi‌ measures "back of the heel to the back of the ski."

[BraceMaker]

Ya was watching that. 28 5/8 seems kind of far back, when the other measurements are all 29 5/8 - I guess I'll slot the bindings and see how she goes.

From Rossi-

My current Strada recommended settings are:

 

63.5 28" 2.475 6.880 0.740 7

65 28 3/8" 2.500 6.845 0.745 9

66 28 7/8" 2.505 6.843 0.755 9

67 29 3/8" 2.505 6.843 0.765 9

68 29 7/8" 2.505 6.843 0.775 8

69.5 30 7/8" 2.500 6.843 0.795 8

 

To measure boot placement with Radar boots, place the butt of the measuring tape against the lower stitch line below the heel and measure to tail of the ski. For the 66, I place the Strada Boots in the middle holes. For other company's boots, take away 1/8" from the boot recommendation above and measure from furthest back part of the boot. For colder water - move fin forward 0.005-0.010", shallow fin 0.003-0.010", and lengthen fin 0.005-0.010". If you need more change than this, try moving boots forward and resetting to the above settings and fine tune from there. For extremely warm water, try the opposite of above in the same increments and a 1/8" boot move back if more fin change is necessary.
