Basically, I remounted Voile pucks on a new splitboard (using the Voile tool) and couldn't get the pin to clear the puck in ride mode. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hey man mine did the same thing with my brand new puck adjuster from voile. I just used the puck adjuster then pushed the toe side puck ever so slightly inward and found the fit worked for my sparks. I dont think the splitboard related products from voile are an exact science, but they do help

That's what I did before, but it seemed like I could never get it exactly right. There was always too much room between the pin and the puck, causing the entire binding to slide around. I got it down the best I could, but even tiny amounts of play in the system are disconcerting on icy steeps. So I was looking to see if anyone else who'd had this problem had any more precise way of fixing it.

Put the pucks in the alignment tool and squeeze the CRAP out of it while you are tightening down the puck bolts. That is what has worked for me in the past. YMMV...

The solution to this is the splitboarding equivalent of math homework...keep adjusting it until it works.
