Neil Gendzwill Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I'd try running them as close as possible to your old setup to start with. I know when I switched bindings and angles I got some serious thigh pain, and it had to do with trying to change too much at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I run bombers with 0* front and 3* rear. I used to run flat before the bombers with burton step ins. I also ran a 6* rear some time ago but it was a little too much for me. BTW, you should be able to find 4x4 adapters for your burtons. Be sure to check your burton mounting disks frequently. I had one break into many pieces and rode it for an unknown amount of time. The only thing holding it together was the bevel around the edge of the disk.

eddie Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I just went did almost the exact same change. Rossi 171 to a Burton FP 185; no cant and Burton bindings on the Rossi to Cateks on the FP. Tip #1. Start with the Catek bindings on your Rossi first. It's damn hard to do two new things at once. Tip #2. Always keep the tools on you to make random on hill adjustments. (Just keep playing with the cant and lift all the time.) Tip #3. Ridding with 0* takes different technique (at least for me) than ridding with cant and lift. Try to find someone who can tell you what's going on. Hope that helps. eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Yeah, try to set up the Cateks similar to your old bindings. One thing nobody has mentioned yet, make sure your stance and setback is the same or similar on the new board compared to the old one. If you're further forward on the board that would explain the front leg burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
