Atomic toe binding contruction

Looking for quick assistance ~ I need to complete before Wednesday 5th March. Going skiing on Thursday.

I was moving an Atomic XTL9 toe binding forwards on the rail, to allow a larger shell boot to fit. I also wanted to change the biding pressure. Inadvertently, I have released the pressure screw. Since the screw will not re-engage, I am guessing that it was under jigged spring pressure, when the screw was initially engaged.

Before attempting to open the toe binding further, I would like to assure myself of what is happening inside the construction.

Anyone know of a friendly techie, who is likely to deal with atomic bindings, and who would not mind a phone call?

The Atomic XTL 9 looks like a rebadged Salomon Z series binding so a Salomon tech might also be able to help. I would ring Pete Evans at Anything Technical in Kendal, he has loads of experience, he used to work for Vielhaber remember them? I wouldn't dismantle it, I once took a Tyrolia toe piece apart and had a devil of a job getting it back together.

Thanks for that, SB. I looked out the contact info for Pete Evans and Andy Taylor. Also was waiting for feedback from Brighams.

However, having good daylight, I was able to see the spring through a small hole in the underside of the toe. I managed to get a small driver behind the thread plate attached to the spring, lever the spring, and get the adjustment screw started. So, it is a fix.

Thanks again.

Good to hear that you managed to fix it DM, presuming they are Mrs Mac's skis it might have been expensive if you hadn't! Have a good holiday.

No SB, they are actually mine, although I know the reason why you might suggest that. I have never been conventional about ski gear. So. I chose Varios, which a a lower intermediate ski, mainly used for group skiing, so I'm know I'm not going to ski at any kind of speed.

Laterally soft, and torsionally stiff, they offer my long suffering knees, all day easy turning.

When I am away by myself, I tend to ski on longer stiffer skis.

Anyway, I spend MUCH more on my frau's skis ~ and they have interesting bindings, too. I will put these on a new thread.
