    They are perfect in terms of keeping the fingers warm and the thickness did not bother me. But after just 2 sets I could already notice abrasions on the palms... (further testing will not take place before April).

    @bracemaker: Yes - so you need to have an adequately sized washer (regular size is sometimes not sufficient for a long spacer).

    You only have to prevent the front binding from sliding forward - it never slides backwards while skiing. I use only a single spacer shaped to the dimensions of the slot (I have several of them in different length increments) in only one of the six slots.

    I know what you mean but this has only a minor effect on the laceration of the skin and I believe it has a negative effect on the release mechanism (because you kind of decrease the width of the block).

    I believe there's something wrong with the functioning of the ZO. We are also running a boat with PP and a boat with ZO on a rather short setup and the ZO is so much easier...

    The caps don`t make any sense. And a regular spray leg sleeve doesn't help much either (too soft and to thin for the impact). To be safe get a shinbone protector from soccer (might need to fix it with some duck tape; maybe footballers use the same - since I'm from Europe I have no clue about football...) and if you realize that you seldomly (never) fall on your offside-turns with a release of the boot you can get rid of it...

    The wounds on shinbones do not com from the release - they result from hitting the shinbone with the block on the rear end of the boot. If you stuff the ski-tip in an off-side turn you will bleed! (with proper ski-setup these occasions are rare...)

    3 defunct brands from Austria (not Australia): Kneissl (snowski company produced waterskis in the 60s) Tornado (actually a fashion boot manufacturer called Panzl; 70s) Pilot (my father and his uncles built skis and bindings in the 50/60s)

    Seth, just for clarification: your description of the sequence does start at/after the edge change whilst Ed's starts at a later stage (in the turn)?
