Ripped p14's out of JJ's...help?

buy skis with metal in them.

saw the 10/11 super s7 195 today. so dope

mount 1.5 forward or back to your preference

the guy at the shop said something about putting brass insert screws in? not really refilling, my bad

well the brass inserts are helicoils and they should hold your binding in.. however they will massively reduce of the resale value of your skis to almost nothing, unless you sell with bindings..
that said a new mount pulling out is usually a sign that the shop messed up the mount, unless there is a problem with the core of the skis..
basically do you trust the shop? if you dont then letting them make bigger holes in your skis to put helicoils in might be a bad idea.. it seems weird to me that they suggested a new heelpiece :S pullout is almost never the fault of the binding..

def get the helicoil. It does hurt the resale a little but but JJ's are such a sick ski i doubt you'd ever want to sell them. I know i wouldnt want to sell mine. Ive helicoiled 2 heelpieces and a toepiece over my years and theyve always held strong. Def dont remount in a new spot, JJs are perfect at recommended. With that abrupt of a sidecut underfoot where the camber is, i wouldnt screw with it. Especially since it has such a short effective edge

shit i have the exact same setup. im scared...

Some of this is true. Some isn't.
New heelpiece isn't needed. It's not the bindings fault.
JJs are notorious for having a soft core. Personally I would've gone
with something like the STH14; wider mount pattern and 5 screw heel
are great to have on a soft ski.
If it were me, I would t do brass. Brass can crack from the loading
and flexing of the ski. I would do nylon inserts/plugs. They work the
same way as brass, but IMO (and others from who I gathered my intel)
they're better.
That said, the brass inserts are NOT the same as a helicoil. I can
give you info on the differences if you want, but they aren't the same.
If I were going to keep the ski and binding combo, and the mount point
- I'd go with the nylon pound-in inserts. But make sure they use an
epoxy if you want the fix to last, and not that 5-minute crap
either..I suggest West Systems "G/Flex".
But I agree that this might have been at least partly the mount job.
And truthfully partly Armada's fault for two reasons:
1) The soft core in that ski isn't he greatest thing to mout to.
2) On their skis they suggest using a 4.1x9.5 bit...which is a
horrible fuckin' idea. The shop guy hopefully should've known this and
used a 3.6x9.5 bit instead. Either way it doesn't matter much now.

I don't know how you feel about your shop being competent to do this though.
I do all this stuff myself so I know it's done right.


All in all, I'd remount that heel with the nylon pound-in inserts, fill the holes with G/Flex, let it cure for 48 hours and call it good.

i ripped my heelpiece out of a pair scott p4s; they're titanal reinforced....

i ended up remounting with dukes in the same place cos they had a different screw config

good, they have a wider pattern
