Anyone know if the Look NX shares the same hole pattern as the SPX?

Thanks, found a pair of skis with broken NX’s. Would like to use existing holes and a better binding for her.

got around to mounting these new (to me) freerides with some tectons this afternoon and am not disappointed by the results. had some fuckery with the powderguide template, however. when printing, i selected 100% scale and made sure to turn all autofill options off. i've used this template in the past without issue but i made sure to measure the little 1cm segment it gives to confirm accuracy. it was in fact 1 cm. after getting ready it all laid out, i was about to go in with the drill but decided to line up the holes of the binding with the hole locations on the template. wouldn't ya know, they were completely off. after going back and reprinting i found that in the advanced settings of print options was something about paper size and for some reason my computer defaulted to a size other than standard US. i'd never had this happen before even with this particular template but i was sure glad i lined up the holes. curious to know if this has happened to anyone else.swing your fucking sword.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but searching is failing me. What are the best methods for removing a quiver killer insert with the intent to plug the hole after?

I am inspired by this thread to mount my own skis instead of waiting 4 days for the local shop to mess them up during a powder dump.
Does anyone have feedback on mounting position for 2021 Elan Ripstick 96?
I found the PDF tech manual for 19/20, and says 810mm from rear for the 181cm. I don't know if this value corresponds to the center line because it does not specify. The 2021 ski design changed and is also 180cm long now. Can't find the tech manual for 2021.
The side of the 2021 ski has tick marks for RIDE (means center I guess?) and lines up to +3 / -4. Just measure to center on both skis to see if there is top sheet variation and use the same value on both?
The 19/20 tech manual also says Ø4.1x9.0mm drill for Ripstick 96 but 3.6 for Ripstick 86. I am a bit surprised it is 4.1 and not 3.6 for the 96, as there is no metal in the ski. Thoughts?

As mentioned, heat with a soldering iron to soften the epoxy. How long you need to go is going to depend on how hot your iron gets, but something like 20 seconds of direct contact in the middle of the insert should do it. Start shorter and work up to more heat until you find what works.
As far as actually removing them goes, by far my preferred technique is to get an M5 SHCS and a nylock nut, and thread the nut on with the crown / nylon insert side pointing down, towards the ski. The crown fits into the insert nicely and doesn't rub on the topsheet. Thread it in by hand, give the nut 1/4 turn tighter with a box wrench while holding the SHCS still with an allen key, and then spin the insert back out using the allen key in the SHCS. Super easy.

Thanks all! I've got a pretty good soldering iron from my E.E. school days so will plan to put that to work.
I don't have the bindings or templates/printer in hand currently to tell, just the ski and a measuring tape. It's possible there will be no conflict, or a small overlap. If there is no conflict I will probably leave it in. If there is a small overlap I will remove and see if using a regular, rescue, or different mount point makes the most sense.

Has anyone ever used a release agent (aka trewax) on the binder screws when using epoxy? That's what I've always used when I'm epoxying the shit out of stuff (yes, real epoxy - marine tex).

Not a lot of clearnace, I think under normal conditions that ski and binding would flex into the indicator window ?

That’s what I thought. I put a sheet of paper between the two and it ripped trying to pull it out.
Fortunately I have more boots, kinda throws a wet blanket on my simplistic plan of a tech/GW compatible quiver.
It’s like SRAM v Shimano on snow.

Muchos Gracias Dee.
I figured this was like the Ask The Experts thread from sprockets.

Experts eh?
I disagree with Dee’s suggestion. The dildo angle is not ‘adjustable’. Sure you could overtighten the forward pressure to resolve your problem but you’d end up with just that: too much forward pressure. Plus you’d be a few degrees closer to release, increasing the risk of a prerelease. And as a bonus, over time, you’ll wear the spring plunger/pivot bushing interface.
Temporary fix? Maybe.
Long term solution? No.
Bummer your boots aren’t compatible with Pivots.
