Anyone have thoughts about ramp delta or is it just me? I just changed a ski from Pivots on the line to Duke PT 12s at +0.7 cm; felt like a double whammy of having more ramp and also less ski in front of the boot, I was overdriving them a bit and struggling with balance.
I don’t think there are any toe shims out there? I’m gonna try my boots with less forward lean … would hate to move the Dukes to -something as that would be the fourth mount on these skis.

Is anyone able to measure the toe screw length if you have any unmounted Duke PTs sitting around?
I did some hasty measurements of the toe and heel AFD heights and I got 20mm toe (with my AFD set for my Cochise 120 GW boots) and 25mm heel for roughly 5mm of binding ramp delta. Not bad all things considered, much less than I thought it would be.
Did the same measurements on the Pivot Dual WTR bindings that I had on the same ski and got 18mm toe and 20mm heel for roughly 2mm of ramp delta.
I think I'm going to shim the Duke toe by 3mm and would need to order longer screws. I can always measure my own screws, but I'm still planning on skiing these skis for a few more weeks and don't want to mess with them just yet.

Aggressive in my own mind
I have pics. Looks like 22mm total length for 4 with 18mm of thread and 16mm total length and 10mm thread for 4.
edit to add that if you call quiver killer they have stock screw lengths on charts. They have been very helpful working through shimming my kingpin heels.
as another caveat I have a pair of duke pts and then ski tons of pairs of jesters. Quiver killers have been great, total of 8 toe holes and 4 heel holes on a couple pairs of skis gives a lot more side country options and makes traveling really easy, I can bring 5 pairs of skis and 1 or 2 pairs of bindings depending on destination.

short two are closer to the tip. Long two are close to the afd. You will see the difference when you open your toe piece. They are the cone heads. Same style screws as the heel plates and the jester heel plates. Just longer
shoot me a pm and I can send you the pics via text or something. I think the box fan needs to be replaced in Jackson.

I'm going to get a set of these for a pair of travelling skis. So will mostly ski lift serviced, but some shirt tours as well. Would like to save some weight with the 12, but am.I going to hate the heel piece on those? I do have Griffon on some skis, so familiar with those, but never skied the Squires. For reference, I usually run 9.5 din, and never had any issues, even using a Vipec 12 for the same set up. Would think that would mean I would be fine in the PT 12 as well, but you just hear such bad talk about the Squire heel. Thoughts on 12 vs 16 for me?
^ Squire heel is probably fine if you do okay with Vipec heel, but the Griffon heel on Duke PT13 is way more locked in.
