No, turning that screw with boot in can strip/warp the metal band. The boot has to be in the binding to set the forward pressure. No personal experience on the NEOX but the older one is not stout enough for anything beyond recreational skiing(1018 aside). If nothing else, I think it's BS to have to compensate for a poor design. The band on the Atomic is really thin and a poor design in my opinion. Any binding that strips if you turn up the forward pressure is crap in my opinion. So, set the binding like normal, then release the boot and turn an additional X amount of turns? You might want to specify how far or at least give an idea. I'm assuming you mean, that turning the screw up beyond the normal setting should not be done with the boot in. How else do you set the forward pressure? The boot has to be in the binding to set the forward pressure. If this has been done there is a good chance the worm screw (or band) has been stripped. It should not be done with any binding but other bindings may tolerate it, these will not. This is the source of most prerelease problems. 2) NEVER EVER turn up the forward pressure screw with the boot already in the binding.
