Baller cadeltaskier Posted September 12, 2010 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2010 Just got a new (long story) 67" 05 Monza unridden, and need to figure out where to mount the front bindings. Anyone have a chart or something out there where to start my set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted September 12, 2010 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2010 The best thing you can do for that ski is put a Schnitz Slot fin on it. Here are some 66" numbers from Pro Ski Coach. You could start there if you can't find anything else. http://www.proskicoach.com/skis/HO/Monza/2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 67 Monza29.25 front binding. Adjust front boot for offside and rear boot for on side control. I always liked a inch between my feet on the monza.DFT .720Length 6.920 tips  6.830 flatDepth 2.520The slot fin never worked for me on the Monza, but if you have access to one it may be worth a try.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted September 12, 2010 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2010 Ditto what Chef23 said. It did work for me and probably 90% of Monza skiers, that I'm aware of anyway. IMO the best tweak you could make to that ski.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cadeltaskier Posted September 13, 2010 Author Baller Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks guys... MS is that measurement to the back of the front heel? or back of the plate or maleolus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 To the back of the front boot rubber. Not the plate. In most cases with a rubber boot, it would be the back of the horseshoe that that wraps the rubber.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 So this raises a question for me, when I mounted my sidewinder bindings on my Senate I measured from the rear of the foot bed since the binding doesnt actually extend to the ski, roughly where the rear of my heel would be, should I have been measuring from where the boot would have met the ski if it had continued? I thought that I did what ward told me to do but we were on the phone so i might have misheard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cadeltaskier Posted September 14, 2010 Author Baller Share Posted September 14, 2010 OK, very different compared to the old Mapple that I was skiing on. Plus went to fluid motion E series bindings. Next question is how are you measuring the DFT? are you using the head or tail of the calipers? Currently using the tail of caliper at DFT 0.72 is that how you are measuring? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted September 14, 2010 Baller Share Posted September 14, 2010 I always use the needle on the calipers to measure DFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
