B18C1 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi, I just purchased some Intec Titanium bindings and after I installed/adjusted their size, I was rather disappointed to notice the binding in the back has quite a bit of play. The other one seems just fine and really tight. The heels are very well attached to the boots and I am positive the problem is in the intec receiver. I read through the F2 manual provided and was unable to find any possible adjustment to solve this problem... Is it common? Is there anything I can do? Thanks!

dano Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Beef up your health insurance or buy a set of Fin-tec heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B18C1 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thank you for your very enlightening reply. I assume that means the problem is the heels and not the receiver? Would you say it's dangerous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpyride Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Do you have new boots or old? Did you check to see if you had the wedges in correctly, or are the screws tightened all the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 if its just the reciver, i would bet yyz canuck could supply you with a new one. I would think it to be relativley inexpensive. The heel in the reciever should be snugger than looser one man's opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B18C1 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi, Thanks for the replies. My boots are 2009 Track 700, and I made sure all screws are very tight. It is somewhat loose when I push the boot sideways. It would seem as if the heel's metal pins have a slightly smaller diameter than the receiver's holes. Is there any possible adjustment?

Hans Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Post some pics, I think it just needs a tighter adjustment. You can microadjust those bindings. I had it too with my FINTECS and TD3 combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B18C1 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Problem fixed, thanks a bunch Hans This post you made in the other thread explains it all - Here it is in case someone else is having the same problem: The distance between all the things in the receiver and the pins are so constructed that there must be a tension force between the frontbail, the little pins and the big pins. My set up at first was that I had my big pins centered in the receiver: I had side by side slop in the receiver, I could put a creditcard in between, so about one mm. So I emailed Fin and he told me that I had to set them up so there would be absolutely no slop at all. I tweaked the frontbail (what a piece of art is this frontbailconstruction) a bit and just give my heel receiver one stripe extra. Problem solved, more tension on it, the big pins went further back in the slots as seen in the pics here. So if I pop in, the sound of popping in is louder now. I have just used some bombergrease and now they are flawless. Fin also told me that I had to pay attention to the whole setup in time as the bootsoles will wear out. The setup must probably be tweaked again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Glad it worked out fine for you, happy carving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzcanuck Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 It's also important on the F2 INTEC™ Titanium that you adjust the toe bail height to match the boot toe ledge. You must adjust the toe bail (using the small thumbwheels on each side of the binding) to put the boot's toe pad under some compression. More compression = more ridgid the feel due to reduced play in the system. If you have any other questions... contact us direct at www.f2-canada.com.
