F2 titanium race binding sizes

[Joe C]

I've got a set of f2s that came with a board,  I've been using them with size 28 boots, which I need to replace probably with 27s, I've looked for sizes on the bindings to check that I don't run into fit issues, but there's no identifying marks I can see, is there a way to tell? 

Also I'm considering updating to Intec at the same time if that complicates things.

Roughly speaking a 27 will be about 1 cm shorter than a 28......just take a look at how much adjustment range you have on the binding and you should know if they will work with the shorter boot.

My 27.5 boots fit the M size F2s, but they clearly would not be adjustable for much larger boots.  I've used several boots, all the same internal size, but different external sizes (Deeluxe, Rachlie, Head, Atomic). There is sufficient range in the bindings to deal with all of those.

As far as I know the sizing is the same for the Intec versions, as I have both.

One way to tell which is which would be... if your 28 boot requires the binding to be fully extended, then it's an M. If it requires the binding to be fully contracted (toe and heel pieces both closest to the 4x4 holes as they'll go), then it's L.

I would guess that the Long version has a longer base plate (the metal bit). You could also measure the precise length of that plate and I can compare it with mine to see if it's the same or longer.

Marvelous info guys,  I'll have a measure up tomorow and report back

OK, had a measure, boots come up at right around 30cm where the bails would contact, and the bindings are adjusted to right around half way, guess I'm on mediums and good to go for the 27 boots, I'll have a look to see if there's anywhere I can try in the boots local in the UK.

From the pic above you have plenty of adjustment to go down in boot sizing.  With a fair bit of play to work on the bias.

You definitely want to change the angle of that binding.  The boot out will be horific...

As he said, you're clearly not at the min or max on either end there, plenty of adjustment, so I would think you'll be fine. My M bindings are much closer to the maximum settings with my 27.5 boots, so you may be on Large there. But it looks like they'll work fine.

I'm in Cambridge and have various size Medium bindings kicking around if that helps.

Too much boot out eh?

That's the front foot an is set at 45deg, went with 45/40 as it's been years since I've ridden alpine, used to borrow a mates Burton p6 asym, can't remember what angles that used to be set for, but I'll probably up this to 55/45 and see what that's like. Although as is it Rode well even in  slushy semi moguls, although not as much bite as I remember from the Burton
