Mounting own ski bindings?????

you dont want to read it all but dont want to fuck up your skis? there isnt that much to read. but thats still iffy. just have a shop do it or buy a jig (some go on ebay, as well as the appropriate drill bits and shit)

he said he wants to read it all so he doesnt fuck up his skis.
meaning he prolly wants to educate himself further than just that one internet site he found.

Dude...it's like 30 bucks. Just save yourself the trouble.

fuck 30 bucks, give em' a case of beer.

I think it will void the warranty as well but if you really want to make sure its good the first time.

wanna see what happened when i mounted my skis?
yeah i decided im probably not mountain my skis ever again (besides my urbans)

I mounted my own bindings for my urbans. it was pretty easy actually and got it pretty good on my first try. Heres what I did:

1. I measured out where I wanted to mount them and marked the front and the back of each binding with a marker. I used my boots to make sure they were spaced right. Then I taped the bindings into place.

2. I used the marker and stuck it through each of the holes where the screws have to go marking where I needed to drill for each screw.

3. Then I calibrated the drill press to see how deep i wanted to drill in by holding the binding in the air and letting the drills hang. I measured how far the drills went down and set the drill press up.

4. Then I did the same thing for the other ski. After that I rechecked everything to make sure it was all measured correctly.

5. Then I just drilled the holes in each ski.

6. For extra hold I used glue when screwing the bindings in.

They work fine to this day and would do it again. Maybe for my everyday skis too if I get enough practice. It was only about an hours work at most which is definitely worth it compared to the $30-40 you have to pay a shop.
