From the shavings, looks like different core construction? WTF?

I'm ready to join the self-mounters!

Recently got a couple pairs of 2021 Marker Griffons and need the correct paper template so I can mount them up.

I've searched, but can't find it (super-jong-mode)... can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ya it’s weird.

From selling them in that era I seems about right. Low quality

Haha, thanks for the review.
I was hoping to have some fun on these but I’ll keep my expectations low.

Were the retail ones foam and race room skis wood core at that point?

Doesn't explain a mixed pair with matching serials, though.

Ok, I've lost track. What our current thinking on removing and replacing bindings using the same mount holes. I may need to pull off some pivot toes and replace them. Can I just use the same screws and holes with some new wood glue and the new toes?

[SoVT Joey]

As long as the holes aren’t shitty and spinning. They will be fine. New glue and send it.

I have a bunch of inserts that have the same internal/external thread as BFs. They are open ended though. With epoxy at the bottom they should work, no?

Bandit Man and I had a proper mounting party on Tuesday night in the famed Bandit garage. I'm not sure any individual has more skis. I had 4 sets I needed to get set, so we settled in with some fancy root beer and got to work.

Oh my those Pink matchy matchy K2s are awesome lol

Using Old holes will be fine. Shave down any old volcanos, clean the old glue off the screw threads, use new glue, tighten until 1/4 turn before spinner tight.

Hey DeathVan, not to thread jack too much, but how did you like the Forma? Where did you mount? Why not Shifts or Duke PTs?

I've just received mine, thinking about bindings and mount point.

Probably should reply here https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...cussion-thread

Thanks boys. Consider it sent.

Well. This was Powking Jr.’s first mount and wax. Nice job!

Just finished up a practice Mount on some old skis. I copied the paper templates onto a clear transparency and that really helped a lot. The digital caliper is crucial. One or two more practices and I’ll be ready for mounting my new skis. What a feeling of liberation!

I am planning to mount some old Atomic FFG 14s for a friend on some fairly beat up skis. The rearward holes on the toe piece has a hole in the middle (see below). It doesn't appear to have been used on the previous mount and seems unnecessary (though wtf do I know, I still telemark) -- any idea why it's there? And do I just ignore it?

Thanks.

Mounted new renegades with p18. Popped my insert cherry.

Took me awhile and turned out good. Attempted to convert one of rfconroy 3d jig to 2d for laser cutting; however, sizing must have changed during the conversion. Ended up using jondrums paper template to design a laser cut acrylic template. Cut on my friends laser cutter in his garage when I could get a turn between him and my son cutting Pokémon. Big thanks to all of those guys!

The centering tool is awesome! Size the threads down two or three percent or its won't turn. My friend designed a different one overnight for fun.

Don't do a test insert install without epoxy. It is a bit tricky to take the insert out. Just install with epoxy after tapping. Definitely don't leave the test insert on the install tool and then drive to Jay Peak planning to install the inserts in the hotel room. Absolutely, don't do any of this without bringing a wrench and vice grips to pull the insert off the install tool. Do bring a six pack of IPA to Hotel Jay maintenance to thank them for lending said tools.

The boys cutting Pokémon while I wait my turn.


The finished product! Now hopefully this storm pans out to get a few test turns in.
