T&L or Kunstadt, $25 and you don't have to worry about fucking up.

I dont have relatively good things to say about T&L, but clearly your friends are a bunch of retards, who clearly came off as complete gapers when they walked in, I've brought in skis to get mounted during busiest time of the season (early December) and they mounted them in 45 minutes, and just a fine job, as long as you personally talk to any decent tech there, and clearly state how you want it done...

As for OP. I cannot help you with the Salomon jig, wouldnt mind getting a personal FKS jig for myself. Have you looked into making your own jig?

You can always print off the pattern, cut it out, and tape it. Its sketch but it will do the job.


TanL is also dead quiet right now, wait times are next to none, and if you ask nicely they can easily do mounts same day, its waxes that they get backed up on cus the montana can only do 1 pair at a time.

Woah, settle down. They aren't retarded, nor are they gapers. And regardless, what does it matter if they came off as gapers? You shouldn't have to wait a month for your skis to be mounted..

T&L sees them as gapers, and decides they can procrastinate this mounting job as long as they'd like because they have no experience with getting skis mounted. Thats just usually how things are at T&L.

If you are looking for mounts in ottawa give http://www.thecyclery.ca/ a call, they have most jigs and have some great techs. Good to support a small shop

I work at t and l and if you need a mount done in a day or two it will be done in that time frame.

You freinds probably missed some phone calls because I have never heard of anything like that before.
