I went to get my skis waxed and the shop guy looked at my bindings and said I need a new toe piece. Apparently there was a recall on some salomons, but then he figured out that I didn't, thank god. Although it might have worked in my favor if I need a new toe piece, cause I want new boots and then they would already be doing a mount.
But anyway, the shop had that salomon N the Knight ski, I hand flexed it and it felt like the extremes next it, and it has similar dimensions, I don't remember if it was cap or sidewall though. Maybe this ski will solve the suspects problems.
Also, although I think I need new boots, I think I have done something to make them last for this season. I tightened everything, micro adjustments included to maximum tightness. Is it bad if I have them tightened all the way on all four buckles to make them fit, otherwise I get major toe bang and heel lift, but now they're super tight and probably won't give me injuries (haven't skied yet though). And I even got these boots from a bootfitter, but now they don't fit quite well.
Moral of this thread; there needs to be a thread where people can post random stuff like this so I don't have to make a thread, and check your bindings for recalls I guess.
