sorry if this is a dumb question. These demo bindings were just installed on a new set of skis. Is there supposed to be a gap between ski and binding?

It doesn’t look like that. The Marker demos I have fit flush to the ski. I can’t see anything between the ski and the binding to where the screws are. But with this Tyrolia I can see underneath the whole thing. I can see the screws. I think the track is above the crack? idk it’s hard to tell in the picture but I can see clearly underneath, including the the screws.

That doesn’t look right to me…I’d take them back to whoever mounted them…

I just noticed the rail isn’t flush either. Can see right under it. Visible in the picture.

Yes I prefer demo bindings, whole family always uses them, and I’ve never seen this either. But we always had marker bindings before and these are Tyrolia. I want sure if it was normal but it sure doesn’t look like it. I’ll take them back tomorrow. I’m annoyed.

I called the shop this morning and the guy says “we’ve mounted thousands of those Tyrolia SP bindings and they just don’t sit flush.” He was pretty insistent that this is normal. I don’t like it. Anyone know a contact at Tyrolia I can ask? Their website just refers me to a “authorized dealer,” which this shop is.
Nevermind. I just talked to Head/Tyrolia. They won’t tell me anything other than “go talk to an authorized dealer.” And they won’t give me the tech specs.

For anyone following this saga-
I talked to a different dealer and they also said the toe and the rail on Tyrolia SP binding floats a few mm above the ski. I didn’t get to look at the tech manual but he was convincing

I was just about to reply…”can you get a second opinion from another shop?”. Haha.
If there are two shops that are saying it’s normal…I’d run with it.
