Plus, if you mount 'em yourself you dictate whether to be high or sober when you do the job.
Pro tip: Never take them to a shop for a mount on a snowy day after payday: you're likely to get a pissed off tech high on something."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

I'm sure there are good techs out there, but I won't know if they're good or not unless something goes wrong... or like in this case, I remove old bindings to re-mount.
At least when it's me I know exactly what's going on with the skis and the mount. Nobody cares (nor should they) about my skis as much as I do.
Edit to add: the shop in question is probably one that most people would call reputable... so just saying to take it somewhere reputable you trust breaks down here.Last edited by Shorty_J; 12-03-2014 at 01:04 PM.

Was debating getting one of these. Will any of their Salomon plates fit older all metal 916s? Also, what the heck are dynafit adjustment plates? If Im mounting Beast 16s can I just order the beast 16 jig or do I need that adjustment plate for something as well? I emailed and haven't gotten a reply so I ask here

This place is the best! Mounted my own fucking skis tonight for the first time. After reading this thread all the way through I am proud to say my first mount went without a single problem. Mounted 14/15 Dukes on the line for 307bsl on a set of 14/15 Atomic Automatic 186.
Made sure to do it the TGRight way and drink beer during the process as well. I built the bench on Saturday too.

Add me to the list ...
I have a few good shops around who were all like 7 days deep in mount jobs. Motivation.
STH2s on my 185cm 9D8s, for a 330bsl, following the same straight forward direction all up in this awesome thread.
- found center line
- used a template I found here (two front toe holes needed to be 2mm wider (42mm vs 40mm) so I'm glad I double checked everything)
- sharp punch to mark the hole
- set drill bit to correct depth, DRILL BABY (panic)
- glue, screw, have a brewLast edited by N1CK.; 12-05-2014 at 12:06 AM.

Thanks. There's a handful more sets on that wall. One set is just over 4 feet wide. Biggest bird I've ever shot. Mounting my own stuff was great too. I don't plan on shop mounts anymore.

sounds like you mounted someone elses skis
good on ya not quite as good as teachin him how to dyi, been teachin some noobs at work some people have the knack and pick it up fast
i don't pretend its anything much other than it is drilling a few holes and screwing down binders
for me it's a job i do for funtickets, thing i do for bros a nug or adult party favors
it grows old at times but there is that possibility that a set of them skis i mounted is gonna end up on the feet of someone who having those skis the freedom truth and pleasure they provide is gonna cause them to make life changing decisions based around them two implements of fun
Just as some tech mounted them kastles my pops laid under the xmass tree some 45 years ago.
little did i know the power and i wonder if that tech knew.
MOUNT SOMEONE ELSE'S SKIS
as well as your own
the future of the sport is based somewhat on that cycle
oh timbers i can't believe you think you can dispense "pro" tips
i'm so much better at pretending to be pro than you"When the child was a child it waited patiently for the first snow and it still does"- Van "The Man" Morrison

I asked this in the Plum thread as well, so apologies for the double post, but it's more of a mounting question, so...
Thinking of mounting some radical toes on skis previously drilled for plum guides. The most forward toe holes on the radicals are 12.5 mm forward of the plum holes (center to center). The rear holes on the toes are shared.
I've heard the rule of thumb of 10 mm between holes. Is this center to center or 10 mm of space edge to edge? 12.5 mm center to center leaves about 8 mm between holes edge to edge. Is this OK for a remount?

When I was stressing out about it/googling for info on my mount, I came across this BD experiment that gave me some peace of mind.
http://blackdiamondequipment.com/en/...lled-skis.html
Their empirical results were 100% pullout strength at >=7mm center to center. Of course your results and risk tolerance may vary... but having just done it, 12.5mm center to center would definitely be enough safety margin in my mind. Mine were closer to 9mm and there are no apparent issues, althought I'll be keeping an eye on them.

AKA one hole-width between the edges of the old and new holes, as has been taught forever. Good to see some data to back it up.
I remounted my own fucking skis this week, reusing the old front Look holes for a new Salomon mount like I was asking about a few pages back. Success.
