Talk:Ski binding

message: Added para on snow brakes to Alpine as could not find any other reference.  A couteau is referenced on the caption for the alpine touring binding but not referred to in the text. WinterOfDiscontent 10:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

:I just did a web search for 75mm boots (since I have skis with that binding).  The bindings are still for sale, but I didn't come up with a single boot.  Perhaps this sxn should be re-written?  I would do it, but I'm too far from knowledgeable. Mcswell (talk) 16:45, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

message: As you can see, we need a good picture of a 75mm boot and a SNS binding. Thanks!
:Wikipedia:Requested pictures is probably a good place to post a note. --snoyes 21:34, 26 Dec 2003 (UTC)

message: www.dinsetting.com should be the link used rather than  http://coffee.sdsc.edu/din_setting.
www.dinsetting.com provides a quick easy form with 5 inputs (skier height, weight, ability, age & boot sole length) to calculate the DIN within seconds.  It also provides a reference to the source from which the DIN calculations are derived.
http://coffee.sdsc.edu/din_setting is slow, you have to click through 4 web pages to determine the DIN setting, unless you accidentally click on an advertisment that is located near the links required to access the next page (which happens to be a violation of Google's Adsense policy anyways).
Wiki-pedians want fast reliable information.  Visit each site and tell me which link you think should be included in the wiki content. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Preston325 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  DIN Setting Links 

message: Does DIN stand for Deutsches Institut für Normung? That page doesn't mention skiing, but it seems plausible. DIN (disambiguation) has a red link to DIN ski binding scale. This should get sorted out. Also, it would be interesting to see how DIN settings are quantified. —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 17:58, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  DIN? 

message: There was an alternative form of cable binding for X-C skies. It consisted of a toe piece which fit over the front sole, similar to an old fashion roller skate. Two pieces of cable hooked into either side of this and at the heel, these cables screwed into a metal band which fit around the shoe's heel. A lever here camped the band tight on the heel, forcing the toe securely into the toe piece. The cables could screw in or out of the heel band to adjust the fit. This type of binding could be used with a standard 75 mm boot, but also could be used with regular hiking boots or the like. Just what these where called escapes me, but I had a pair back in the 1970s on my first X-C skies. Anyone here have more info on this type of binding? 16:18, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

message: The section on alpine bindings is underdeveloped. Here are some potential sources:
*RELEASE! HISTORY OF SAFETY BINDINGS
*Early iron bindings
*GEZE SE3
*Historical dictionary
*Alpine touring
*REI taxonomy
*General reference
Need a good taxonomy of current binding designs. HopsonRoad (talk) 14:51, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
