Tightening the zeus hinge?

I was wondering how to tighten the Zeus' because if I cut hard enough heelside, the hinge comes loose. Thanks for your advice.

Remove the two screws that attach the cable to the boot. Twist the nut thingies. Put the screws back in.

I have heard of this happening on the Faction, but this is a first on the Zues.

Thanks man, maybe I just have insane cutting abilities. yea right. Maybe they just got loose and I couldnt tell the difference after a crash. They were pretty loose already. thanks again

LOL @ "thingies"

I was having big problems with the hinge coming unsnapped on my Factions, but I tightened them up yesterday after reading this post and it absolutely fixed all the problems. I haven't seen this complaint about the Zeus' until now, but I wonder if all those having problems with the Factions have tried tightening the hinges as a fix?

Edit: Not trying to hijack this one, but I've also busted/replaced the upper laces on both bindings after only about a half-month of use - has anyone else had this problem? I think it has something to do with the length; although I know they needed to be longer to work with the hinge, CWB might have gone a bit overboard with it IMO.

Austin: Everyone is breaking those. I talked to some local pros at one of the Kansas INT tourneys, and they both said they replaced their CWB laces with some thick nylon (i think, whatever the plastic woven) shoelaces. They seemed a lot thicker, and neither of them had issues with em.

I cut my laces short the same day I got the bindings. They are too long from the factory. Also, the laces seem to come apart easily if you really cinch on them. I've been mellow with mine and haven't had to replace them all year.

Also, tightening the hinge works for some people on the Faction's. For some it doesn't. CWB also makes a insert that stiffens the heal piece of their bindings that can remedy the situation. It'll be readily available next year, or by contacting them directly. I've never really seen the problem on the Zeus' though. Although I've popped mine a couple times on really hard landings or crashes.

I dunno, I guess mine are just a little weak, and your right the laces get caught in my toes and junk.

There is a lace holder on the top back of the binding to put your laces in to hold them out of the way. Did you adjust youe hinge Brian? If you did and it still pops open, take them back to the shop you got them at and swap them for another pair.

You can't assume the shop can just swap them out for another pair. Shops have a procedure they are suppose to follow. Amanda (CWB Warranty) will tell the shops to absolutely NEVER just swap out inventory, but to ship them for repair or replacement. Now if the shop has an awesome rep like CM~ they will do there best to make the customer happy by swapping out inventory IF they have it to swap.

CWB has a quick turn around time however on Warranty issues. They take care of there customers

Really Brandi well I own a board shop that sells CWB and thats what I would do, Unless I could fix it at the shop if not I would give him new bindings.
Yes I agree with you about the CWB warrenty dept, Amanda is great to deal with always!

I had a problem with My laces too. I called CWB and asked for a pair of the white laces and they sent them no questions asked. The white laces seem to be better quality IMO.

Jeff, I just got my board today, and tomorrow I go to the lake to try them.

Yeah Jeff, I would LOVE to be able to ALWAYS be able to take care of the customer immediatley, unfortunatley sometimes it doesn't work out that way. I do go out of my way to make it as convienent as possible.

Speaking of CWB~ I got to check out the new 07 gear and it's "HOT".

Sorry im so late, but they are great. yes, i did find the lace holder, and it helped keep those bad boys outta the way. I think they got loose because a friend of mine kept putting them on and his foot is real big, so they got loose, thanks for all the help guys.
