Replying to Call for binding manufacturers to standardize mount patterns
Why cant binding manufacturers just agree on a mount pattern? they already follow many standards for release characteristics and boot shapes. cant they agree on where the screws go? then ski makers can start using threaded inserts and make everybody's life better.
shops dont want to train people, buy jigs constantly and potentially have to warranty mistakes for drilling skis
consumers dont want to have go to a shop to put bindings on
if people had the option of easily changing bindings they would be more likely to try other kinds making sales go up
if snowboarders can do it, so can we.
if skateboards can agree on truck mount patterns, so can we
How does one/a group lobby ISO or whoever to make this happen?
the EU forced the iec to put in regulations that apple must follow for chargers, clearly its possible.
just a thought
