kverho Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 So my Elevated Surfcraft Salmon with its 31.1 cm waist certainly should be wide enough for my Burton Step On X bindings & size 11 Ion boots, but the bulky heelcup and lack of lateral adjustment still cause some overhang at the heel and underhang at the toe. I've been trying to google aftermarket discs with more lateral adjustment to no avail, do they exist? Any other suggestions to the problem at hand? This is my first year with the board and not a huge issue; I've yet to experience conditions that cause boot-outs at the heel, but I'd still like to move the bindings closer to the toe.

VSR-Alex Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I'm assuming you tried orienting the binding disk width-wise? If yes, then your binding size might be too big. I sized down the binding on purpose for my Burton Cartels due to this problem. It's hard to do that with step-ons as the toe receiver needs to be aligned with the boot Burton bindings are just...weird. Other option is to find some Donek BX plates and then you have full customization of the lateral stance position. Hard to find those though, as they are not made anymore. Still, an ordinary riser plate will allow higher edge angles without needing to shift the binding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the size they recommend otherwise it won’t work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 The maximum boot size for medium step on’s is 10 1/2. If you can’t go to that size, I’d recommend risers. If you can find used Apex Gecko Stealth’s I think those are the ultimate, but they’re not made anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kverho Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 Solved by 20 mm insert offset (which required a new custom board but hey I'm not complaining). I also have a line on some custom alu discs that might alleviate the issue, stay tuned for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokkis Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 One could quite easily build from 6mm carbon plate mini raisers with some extra inserts. That would not cost much. Same applies naturally if there is too short or too long stance options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnakata Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 I think OP is asking if there are other disks that allow the binding to move toward the toe edge. The burton disks do not allow for enough lateral movement. A slotted disk (vs holes) might work if made... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first picture shows a Toe right above the edge which can be considered a good lateral setting and an overhang Heel, but from the Heel cup..... The boot itself may have the heel in the right place above the edge not considering the heel cup. If I'm not wrong, What to center first is the foot itself independently from the heelcup. ITOH, if to much heel cup overhang it can drag the snow if really high on edge...so it is also to consider.... But in the second picture, only considering the boot and so the foot, the toes seems to be more or less ok with a tad of overhang but the heel seem to have some good underhang... A rear view picture taken parallel to the board level may show it better.... But of course that's personal thinking....so if it works, enjoy it !!

The first board is my all-mountain slush slasher, and in soft conditions it cuts a pretty deep trench and the heelcup can indeed boot out.
