the contrast between the bindings and the waist width cracks me up, but those look sick!

You just swap the AFDs and get the longer screws. Like $30 max.
Or are we missing something?

Felt like the right time with the tide coming in
the matte top sheet is top-notch, giving them a go first thing in the morning

EDIT: they rip!...

If you mean to trim them to flush with the topsheet then yes, that is my preference since I have a couple really nice ones but whatever gets the job done. We’re talking $800 skis not the trim job on...

she’d be 2 out of 3 right

call me vain but the graphics held me back but that pic made em look quite nice, props marshal can’t wait.

god damn it, my wife is gonna kill me.
FL105s inbound! this sealed the deal

Personally, I never use a power tool to install the screws. The risk to reward ratio just isn’t there for me.
I’m like you and only ever tap for inserts. But I am gonna tap my new FL105s since I...

Here ya go. From SVST/binding freedom

punch your center marks, use the pin to center the guide over punch...

Love that self centering drill guide!

I picked up a Wera pistol-grip torque driver last year cuz I’ll use any excuse to get a new tool.

4nm isn’t much torque but it certainly felt like I was doing less when hand tightening with the...

got some unmounted bodacious 196 that i finally have the urge to mount up, but i want to go demo bindings to play around with the mount point a bit before committing to look pivots.
what's a good...

i gently hammered them flat with a large flat circular punch. just drilling out the plug reduced the dimples by about 75%. they're in the shop now for the ptex patch ($20 seemed like a no brainer),...

well here's a first for me.
swapping shifts for STH2s on my C&Ds.

plugged the holes, but i managed to dimple to fuck out of one ski (like 6 prominent protruberances) while the other was...

question about mounting around existing holes.
switching from shifts to STH2s for the same BSL.

is it kosher to mount the toes for the proper BSL and then just shift the heel forward 1cm to avoid...

are you using an actual pozi screwdriver? cuz using a phillips will strip a pozidrive head
mcmaster carr has great stuff, and i've personally have nothing but good things to say about the BF screws

the gflex + fiberglass cloth trick was money for a single spinner when i swapped out AFDs for GW on some pivot 15s the past week.
setting the screws in the old threads with some epoxy did the trick...

i'm very happy with the self centering block sold by BF. secure with a woodworking clamp and good to go.

i had heard that. i'll break out the dremel and give it a shot.
would that mean i'd have to grind down those specific screws to match?

plugging with wood supposedly enables you to overlap/reuse holes. i'll find out firsthand soon
otherwise, i'm using the cheap plastic ones.

Thanks for the info everyone.
sounds like I was on...

are there any nuances to plugging a hole with wooden dowels?
just epoxy and hammer em in?
cure upside down like inserts?
