Adjusting the highback on burton p1.1 - Snowboarding Forum

pailhead · 10-04-2010, 03:47 AM

I presume that I'll end up sounding like a total retard, but I probably am just that.

I disassembled a pair of p1.1 so i could transport the snowboard. When lowered, the highback sticks out a lot on the side of the board. Now when i try to set them back they are always a bit crooked. My forums had three pair of holes and it was just a matter of choosing the right pair.

see those screws on the sides below the ankle straps?

Yeah, and my question is how to find the right position on each side so the highback will fit normally. It always eem crooked and sort touching only a small portion of the plate,

Thanks for trying to help me, but as i said im a total retard, i don't quite understand your tip.

legallyillegal · 10-04-2010, 07:11 AM

how did you take them apart in the first place?

pailhead · 10-04-2010, 07:22 AM

I dont know i just unscrewed them.

You do understand what im talking about? Maybe im concerned over nothing. The forum factions i have have matching holes. The highback snaps perfectly in place. The burton highback touches the protruding part of the base on just one side, and i just cant figure out what im supposed to do, or if its supposed to be like that.

You adjust them however feels comfortable to you. A lot of people will adjust them so that they are parallel to the backside edge. Some adjust them so they are inline with the binding. Do whatever feels comfortable to you.

What do you reccomend? Iv seem a lot of how to's and people say to adjust them parallel. when the yguy set everything up at the shop i bought it from he left them straight with the binding. Should i change it? Im using rome 390 boss btw.

I like them parallel with the board, but it's all personal preference. Try it both ways (or anywhere in betweent), and see what you like the best.
