So I went to the shop to mount my Jesters on my new EP Pros. While I was doing it, I noticed this (apologies for the paint drawing I have no camera):
Basically on the plastic piece that goes under the toe, one side of the hole has cracked, and the 'arm' it is on has bent slightly to the outside. It wasn't enough of a bend that the binding doesn't slot together fine.
I just mounted the binding up normally as if it wasn't there. I figure three sides of that piece are still keeping it on, as are the back two screws on the toe piece, which I imagine do most of the holding anyway. However, I wanted to get a second opinion as to whether riding the skis would be very dangerous?
I have about a month left in my season and I can't easily get spare parts/good tech work here because of where I am.
Therefore, I figure I have 3 options:
a) This is a serious problem, I have to not ride the skis for the rest of the season and get them remounted with a new toepiece when I get back to a decent shop.
b) I ride the skis to the end of the season, then go and get a new piece for the toe and remount in the same holes.
c) Quit being a baby, its not gonna matter at all, just forget about it.
