the BMB

I have used a pair of Frankenbinders for several seasons and love them.
CFX baseplates, 02 Leather CFX toe straps, CO2 ankle straps and Mission highbacks.
I love the setup as it is light as hell and really adjustable and stiff.

I was looking at getting a newer pair of bindings for my Malolo pow board (CO2, Cartel, etc)--so I dont have to deal with removing bindings--making sure I get them back to where they ought to be when I change back, etc etc.

Anyways, I am wondering if anyone has had any issues getting the highback to a parallel position on the edge with the newer designs. I ride both highbacks to almost exactly parallel. What I noticed on the P1's I just got, is I cant really tweak it as much as the Mission highback to get it where I like to be. I just cant get it to go to that angle, given my 21* angle.
I ride 21* in the front, -12* on back.
I guess I am just running up against a design limitation here.
Oh well, I guess if Snow White can rock those designs successfully then I have nothing to worry about!


 

you shouldn't have any problems adjusting your highback. I spent alot of time last season installing bindings and didn't have a problem.

make sure you really unscrew the sides (but dont let the little plastic piece come off) so that you can actually move it, if the highback isnt rotating you dont have the side screws off enough, also bend in the bottom a little bit of both sides of the highback as you are rotating it so that the plastic guides arent biting on the bottom and it acutally rotates. other than that you shouldnt have any problems.

21 degree adjustment should not be a problem.  If needed, the small plastic insert/tab that gives the screwhead bite on the outside of the ankle can be spun 180 to give you a bit more play... about 2 clicks, and about 3 more degrees laterally.

with an asymmetrical highback i dont think its as important to get the highback rotation dead on and still have the support.
