Mounting question

I just had my skis mounted, and I'm just curious if hand flexing the skis before the glue settles is a bad idea?

Nope shouldn't be a problem. Assuming they were mounted correctly, the interface between the core and screw threads shouldnt move relative to each other.

And they glue should be settled within minutes of mounting.

Hope that helps. Enjoy the new bindings.

Alright thanks for the info dude, +k. The shop tech told me not to ride them for a day and I was flexing them and then I started wondering if flexing them could mess up the glue if it wasn't completely dried yet. But I guess not.

Eh. I had a set of skis mounted at a resort a few years back and rode em immediately. Never had an issue with em either.

Yea I'm pretty sure the glue just waterproofs the mount holes, it doesn't actually hold the bindings in
