fucking shop used the wrong color plugs when they remounted my Coombas

[jondrums]

I like using bindingfreedom inserts so I can move my plugs around from ski to ski without worrying about stripping or melting my plugs

I'd consider a special run of inserts without the threads, so that they are more like holes on the inside.

Or you can learn from the accessorizing an accessory to an accessory of an accessory business model and make color Binding Freedom screw-in plugs, ie:




Then next year come out with little screw drivers and a plug, screw and threadlocker pouch with a carabiner.

Brilliant^^^^Make sure to keep the weight down.Need to stay light for summiting...

[SB]

the holes remove weight so the more holes = less weight

Male pattern baldness finally pissing you off?

it's not the baldness on the head, it's the shag carpet growing on my back that's pissing me off

Who does this shit?

I want to know why your shop isn't filling with bondo or epoxy, sanding, painting, clearcoating and then buffing to blend the clear with the rest of the ski. My shop does this and only charges $50 per hole, a bargain.

I want to know why there's so many fucking holes in those non metal skis and why are some of those holes way to close to other holes? And who previously mounted them? Looks like someone only measured once or not at all. And who cares if different color plugs are used on those skis when a binding is more than likely going to cover them up anyway? The colors of those skis kinda look like someone puked on them anyway.

Lots of questions I know.

This is why I always like to supervise the insertion of anything into my holes. Did a remount on some skis I got from Neil (and Leavenworth before him) last year. It's clear they took great care of each others' holes. Looks like all 3 of us used the same holes in the back, so those didn't need to be plugged (thankfully). Neil's size meant the front holes couldn't be re-used permanently by someone of my size, but I was fortunately able plug them with my own material. Despite repeated pounding, all holes have remained tight. Couldn't ask for more from an old ski.

Yeah those could possibly be classified as "snuff" in industry terminology.

I actually drilled Neil's holes, he stood back and watched. I offered, but he said, no you do it, I'm not ready yet.

We're going to need Doug's written consent for posting pics of his holes on this forum.
