Decisions about bindings....

Oh god, I'm making one of these threads, but I truly am having trouble deciding what I should do.


So I bought some Maden' AK's this year, and they arrived last week. I opened them to find out that they had Rossi Axial 120's on them, which was unfortunate since I had just ordered some 4Frnt Deadbolt 614's the night before. So now I have two pairs of bindings for one pair of skis. The skis are mounted at like +5, and I'm thinking that I really really want these Maden's to be center mounted. I've measured, at it looks like the front holes drilled for the toepiece on the current bindings could be used as the back holes for the the toepiece on whatever bindings I decide to use. And I'm thinking now that I'll probably mount up the 4Frnts and sell the old rossis.... So thats my story, now my questions:

1) Is it worth remounting these things with the Deadbolts or is it not worth putting more holes in these skis?

2) How much could I theoretically fetch for used Rossi Axials?

it won't matter if you remounted, you start losing structural integrity after 3 or 4 mounts. and if you like the 4frnts (i do, but some people don't) id go with those, you'll have no problem selling the Rossi's, but you would have problems getting your money back selling the 614s, unless you return them if you got them from a shop.

Hmm, so people would actually prefer riding on old Rossi Axial 120's instead of new 4frnt Deadbolt 614's?

this is true. the look/rossi group have proven their solid-ness over the years, whereas 4frnt may be a solid binding, but havent had the chance to get a good Rep. I ride rossies and a buddy of mine rides 614's, and we have swiched before. i personally like the rossies

Well, I'm still undecided upon what to do. What would you do, remount these with new 4frnt's or used Rossi Axials?

If i were you i would put both up for sale at reasonable profit-making prices and whichever sells first, use the other
