Ruby mounting help

What are people mounting these with and where?

Mine are drilled for dukes already, but cost and weight are a big factor to me and thus a deterrent to buying dukes. Size is 188, going to be used for a big mountain powder ski. All input is appreciated.

thanks

i mounted my 190s at boot centre with dukes. i skied them once in a variety of conditions and id say they perform very well in fresh pow and skied out pow. im not a fan of them on groomers although thats not what i bought them for. keep in mind that the 190s are quite different from the 188s. id mount them at boot centre if holes arent an issue as thats where they were designed to be mounted.

as for bindings if you dont plan on doing some skinning on them obviously dont get dukes. and the best alpine binding as many people know are fks/pivots so try and find a pair of those.

Mounted Dukes on the 190s on the line (-9cm of chord center) and they feel great there. For the 188, I would go on the line (which I imagine will be -7cm of chord center).

Dukes were mounted on the line for a 302, (i have a 304 basically the same) i do a fair amount of touring and do have skins for them but dont mind trekkers all that much. I am quite light and really want to keep the setup light to avoid it overpowering me. Will I have any issues mounting a 914 or 155 on the line with the pre-existing duke mount?

Anyone else here mount these with alpine bindings or freerides?
