Hello,

I am installing bindings for the first time and though I could use some help.
Probably does not matter, but here is the setup, Now Pilots Large, Jones Mind Expander 158, Adidas Acerra size 11.

I think i went heavier heel side than advertised on Now for my boot size. I wanted to avoid toe drag .

How does it look to you?

Thanks a lot in advance

I reckon it's not the post count which prevents me from posting images :D. I cannot attach pictures neither directly on the forum page since abt half a year and nobody bothers to fix it (@administrator, @Donutz). My workaround is to use Tapatalk to attach pics. There, it works fine.

Heavier heel side is not a problem

You will always boot out Toe side before Heel.

I think you have done a great job! She looks ready to Shred. One word of advice:

Double check the tightness of every screw. I mean EVERY single screw on both bindings. Trust me, the assembly gang at the plant is not concerned with how tight things are. They get paid to put it together, that does not mean tight enough to stay put.

Check'em all twice and then check your binding screws again after your first couple of runs.

No image visible on that post.
I have the same if using the mobile version of the page. In that version, the upload button does work, however, the attachments are never visible, seem to be broken.

No I rode it on the reference stance.
Set all the way back would only help from a toe drag point of view but you should not need that.
I would not upsize just based on boot size.
I am definitely happy I chose the 158 over the 162. I this is not a board you want to ride long. You want to enjoy its nimbleness.
How much do you weight?
