I get that you moved the plate forward by 3", moving the stiffened part of the ski forward by that amount. Did your boot position relative to the ski tip change too, or did you move the mounting point on the plate back to compensate?
Good question!
Is there even room for 3" of adjustment on the plate? That's a lot.

The skis came to my possession with the plate mounted incorrectly.

The entire plate has now been moved forward 3", simultaneously moving the boot tow forward 3" as well. Now the bindings are in the same relative position as similar size speed skis.

Most importantly, the skis now handle appropriately...
