That seems like a lot, particularly for the front of a toe (snow is going to want to wedge under there). My STH2 mounts are all flush. If you can't screw it down more (keeping torque within reason)...

For kids skis you'll need a 7mm bit (or be very careful with a 9mm bit) to avoid drilling through the ski.

I mounted one of my wife's Moment Reagans backwards (in my defense it's a pretty symmetric ski). Didn't notice until I stood it up next to the other one and the bindings were in different spots (both...

Unless you did a really good job of filling the holes, I'd move forward or back 1cm to avoid the overlap. Or install a different binding.

What works for me (including race bindings with no heel adjustment) is to carefully mount the toe with the template, click the boot in, line up the heel in the boot and make sure it's aligned...

Eh, I don't see that much difference between JB and other 2-part epoxies (e.g. Marine Tex) for skis. JB is usually easier for me to find and easy to eyeball the mix (1:1 instead of 1:5 or whatever)....

7/32" = 5.56mm

Haven't found one but there's one available for the Warden 13, and the toe is the same. The heel is different but you can use the heel plate as a guide, just line up the front holes the same distance...

Same reason as for metal, drilling into a non-compressible material (carbon in this case) so you want the hole to better match the screw diameter.

Santa’s elves have been busy in the workshop. Rustler 11s with Salomon Warden 11s for the girl.261435261436

Yeah, sorry, missed the inserts part.

Tap with #12AB and use a 4.1mm bit. The rest is the same.

3.5 and 3.6 are used interchangeably - usually it'll say 3.5x7 or 3.6x7 (or 7.5) if it requires a junior bit. So the 3.6x9 should work fine. You can always measure the ski depth to make sure it's OK,...

Remove, clean up volcanos with a flat file or a utility knife, remount with slow-cure epoxy. No need for helicoils unless you have spinners.

Just don't grab a 14mm nordic bit to drill an alpine ski, or a 9mm adult bit for a junior ski...

Yeah I think it's short for "tech inserts" and they're talking about ripping off the binding in a fall with a locked toe.

Kind of surprising they won't warranty skis with tech bindings given that...

That'll work fine. Frame size doesn't affect boot position, all that matters is where the toe is mounted and BSL. If I were doing this I'd skip the template and just mount the toe plate in the...

Make sure the width of the toe holes matches - i.e. that either both bindings are EPF or neither are. Other than that the my only concern with reusing the toe holes would be the fore-aft change from...

Of course they could license the patent from G3, or come up with a different design (like K2).
