Hello everybody so Im thinking of buying the Icelantic Nomad 94's but they do not mount bindings tho... so I want the Tyrola bindings but they dont mount them but i dont have the recournces and neither does my friend. My friend tho does have mounting jigs for solomon and Rossi bindings but those aren't as nice and I want really nice bindings for my new skis~
So should I buy the Tyrolas and have to drive awhile to have someone mount it and pay a lot to get it mounted or just buy some rossi or salomon bindings and have him mount it for free?
Thanks for any help
Normally I just buy pre-mounted skis but its not working like that this time

That still doesn’t make sense lol. 911’s are made of high end light weight materials like carbon fiber and reinforced plastic. Built for high speeds and agile cornering.

Look pivots are the heaviest binding on the market and have one of the highest stack heights (worse on snow feeling).

So your analogy would be more like Look Pivot = Heavy truck or SUV
KungKalmarNah. Pivots would still be a modern higher end car. Riding a horse in this case would be leather boots and whatever bindings they used with leather boots

Wrong again. Pivots have one of the lowest stack heights on the market. 18 toe 19 heel. More nonsense being spouted by you as usual

Strives are 20/24. So no they’re not champ. Other than attack gw pivots are lower than every other alpine binding on the market. That makes them one of the lowest champ. Congrats you’re stupid on every level.

Look at tough guy over here throwing insults again when he can’t win the argument. It’s his only game plan lol.

there are DIN calculators online, just google one and enter your info. that will be enough for an estimate on what your DIN should be set at

This is probably the best one:

Height, weight, and skill are big factors but one a lot of people don't think about is Boot Sole Length (BSL) the shorter that is the higher your DIN setting should be based on the leverage applied to the binding interface.

Really good choice my guy. You’re going to be very happy with those Strives. Good job doing your research and not falling for the hype like a lot of other people do.

Hope you have a fun season of skiing this year!
