Replying to Re mounting skis yourself?
before you go "never do it yourself" and all that bogus shit I just want to say this:
I have searched the internet and newschoolers extensively before making this thread.
I am very curious to see how you mount a ski.
Its more of a learning experience than anything Im just tired of shops fucking up mounting my skis.
Only be using the skis for like a day or two early season and jib missions.
the ski is complete shit so if I fuck up its no loss.
Just want a simple fix to a mounting job gone wrong that I never fixed for two seasons.
so after saying that I am interested in how you go about mounting a ski. as far as I can tell it wont be too hard its just the depth of the holes, where the holes go, and getting the right fit that I am concerned about. I know that shops use a jig? but am not completely sure what this is.
I am an experienced skier so any tech lingo you throw down I should be able to figure out. This is more of a test than a permanent fix I am not using these skis for this season.
So what I am working with here. I have a pair of salomon spk, from about 3-4 seasons back (whenever ski porn came out). the bindings on them are rossignol scratch 140. I do not have a jig though I know it is not completely nesecary when mounting becuase my ep pros were not mounted with a jig but a hand drawn jig I think? I have drills and drill bits and all that so any tools I should have.
anyone with knowledge on the subject please post in this thread and I may be pming you for some tips and shit. also there may be a web page I overlooked with a step by step thing on how to do it and if someone posts it itd be sick.
thanks a lot hope this thread goes far.
