Abstract
A tool-free system includes a tool-free forward-lean adjuster that securely positions a leg support member in a desired forward-lean position and a latch coupled to the forward-lean adjuster that secures the leg support member to the binding to prevent toe-edge travel. Quick and convenient adjustment of the forward-lean of the leg support member may be performed without the use of a separate tool. The latch may be latched and unlatched without disturbing the selected forward-lean adjustment because actuation of the latch occurs independently of actuation of the forward-lean adjuster.
