Mounted + center 2 mm... sketch?

Hey people. I'm thinking about buying a pair of volkl wall's that are 185 .. bindings were center mounted for a 316 bsl. Problem is I can't remount the binding anymore and my boot is a 314 bsl (-2mm), this would put me +2mm from where the binding was center mounted.

Bad idea to buy? Think I will notice 2mm? Would love some legit feedback.

Thanks!

What bindings are they?

I guess I'm a little confused as well, are you trying to use the same holes? or drill new ones? Cause if you're looking to drill new holes you need more than 2mm away from old ones (most of the time they like 1cm, but sometimes you can get away with .5cms).

The skis have already been remounted twice. I'd be buying the ski with the binding in it's current spot on the ski. I don't want to remount it again cause that would just jeopardize the ski even more. They are Tyrolla park bindings (15 din).

The binding was center mounted on the ski for someone with a 316 bsl. I'm not going to remount the binding, SO I would be skiing it in my 314 bsl ski boot. That would make me +2mm from where that binding was center mounted. Think I will notice?

Then you shouldn't have to remount them, they should be able to adjust 2mm unless they're mounted at their minimum forward pressure (highly unlikely).

Jesus I didn't even think about that. I'll check with the seller. Thanks for the heads up!

You won't notice at all. 2mm is absolutely negligible.
