If it does not move freely in this position there is a broken internal piece that happened with a limited production and you MIGHT still get somewhere with warranty. Also check the binding with no boot in it and the heel cup up. If this has been done there is a good chance the worm screw (or band) has been stripped. It should not be done with any binding but other bindings may tolerate it, these will not. This is the source of most prerelease problems.


2) NEVER EVER turn up the forward pressure screw with the boot already in the binding. The tech manual says flush with the housing but one or two mils (one or two clicks) makes a huge difference. 1) is turn the forward pressure screw in one or two millimeters beyond the housing especially for higher DIN settings. There are two important things to know and abide when using those bindings. I'm just brash enough to know the issue isn't me! Anyone else have issues with Atomic bindings? Where do I go to join the 'Atomics Suck' club? ). That's why I'm wondering if these bindings just had issues. I'd think that would be pretty obvious! Somebody on the mountain told me that he had a pair of Centro 412's and they would release if he hit the slightest mogul. I would be able to tell if the heel release spring was broken. You wouldn't believe the header I took on these things.Jesus. Suppose I go to a mountain shop and rent a set of skis with Atomic Centro 412. No, they're not within warranty, but Atomic should stand behind them if they produced a crappy binding. How old are the bindings? Atomic may warranty if with in 1-2 years. I would try a pair of the non-centro 614's. Joanie The heel release spring's tend to break on the 412's specifically. Has anyone had similar issues with these bindings or might the issues just be with this pair? Thanks, guys. I'm using a pair of Atomic SX11's which I actually really like, but they've got a pair of Centro 412's that are giving me some serious pre-release issues, even when skiing non-aggressively (relatively speaking).
