so today i hiked the snowline for a little pre season slush and went to do a nose butter three sixty degree spin. and what do you know my brand new heel peice ripped out of my brand new skis, just ripped out. if i get those little inserts will it still have the integrity to butter, or should i just remount them 1 back? help suggestions and ideas recommended.

if he warrenties he won't get them back forever....i would go to the shop that mounted them and bring it up with them, should just pull out.........

hahaha that explains it! its a liberty

ugh you can try to get a warrenty.....talk to them and try to get them to rush it before season, if not, then i wouldn't mount in the same spot, you have to move it back

you could have them helicoiled, but there's still a chance of them ripping out again.

i also work in a shop, heli-coiled my skis, and they hold up better than they did originally. i guess it just varries from ski to ski. I'd say heli-coil them if you can't get them warranteed.
