I want to install binding on skis K2 Seth V. and there is a range, Center and Mind Sole. Between this points is 8cm. And I want to ask you, which point is the best for me. I would like to ride freeride with these skis and jumps on switch to powder. Iam thinking about Mind Sole +2cm to center will be good. Am I right? Or should I give more cm to some side?
thanks

you want to "install" the bindings??
Iam thinking about mind sole +2cm to center would be good???
BWAHAHAHA. Sorry, but that was funny.
If your looking to spend a fair amount of time skiing the SV switch go around +5 from midsole, if you want them to be for more everyday skiing then go around +3 from midsole.
The information regarding the graph being off isn't very important. The graph on the sides of the skis if off by 2cm towards to tail, so midsole is actually +2. But the mounting points everyone has been using and suggesting are still good. While +5 may really only be +3 when actually measured on the ski, it is the mounting point on the ski where people find they ski the best (whatever that maybe, +3 to + whatever). So basically to sum that all up.....
forget about the graph being off. That doesn't help you at all.
If you are mounting for everyday skiing (on a 179...which Im just assuming here) go around +3 on the graph. If you want better switch performance go at +5 on the graph.

whoa whoa whoa... didn't you have a whole argument trying to tell me that the K2 mounting graph was NOT off by 2 cm? and now you are agreeing with scott? hahaha.

Regardless of what parker argued to you, the info about the graphs being off came directly from Sid, so it's probably safe to say it'd correct.
I've also measured several pairs of K2's to confirm.
That being said, it's always a good idea to measure and make sure your mounts are going to end up in the same spot on each ski.
For the dude that posted this in the first place: +3 for all-mtn and everyday use or +5 for better switch and park capabilities

I wish k2 put the lines on top of the ski, it would make it way easier to mount.
