I was riding a board in pow for the first time this week and had it set at reference, which I always try to the best of my ability to ride reference.

Wished for just a tiny bit more nose. with the Mini Disc it was super simple and I was able to just bring my front foot back 1/2"

With other bindings would have had to lose a full inch in stance or move both bindings back and loose almost two inches of tail to keep a stance width that I like.

with this do you just mean the ability to move the bolts laterally in the disc, vs toe-heel like in a unibody baseplate? I sometimes have to sacrifice a 1/4" either direction with my mini-disc Unions, but not with the full disc, as those still have lateral adjustments due to the adjustable heelcup.

It strikes me as a "possible" issue vs. something that actually happens often. I'm 2 seasons into riding Bataleon and always double check the many screws, but I've never noticed any coming loose.

I mean the ability to move the disc mini 2x2 vs 2x4 with a full disc. So by being able to move it just 2x2 then slide the disc all the way to one side I can narrow my stance by 1/2" while still having the heel cup to keep my boot centered over the board. With unibody, for me, it was always the full 2x4 because I needed the slots in the disc to move toe/heel to center my boot.

Does that make sense?
