Soups nailed it. 96mm underfoot. Kind of looks like a skinny CRJ. Could be fun in trees and for surfing around the mini park. Or could suck major balls. We’ll find out...

The fore/aft adjustment after mounted is one reason I really like the Rotte Freeride for lift served skiing (among other things, release, brakes, ease of entry). I won't say it skis as well as the Vice though, based on having skied the Axl, it doesn't.
"fore/aft" just reminded me of the AT Anonymous video and the patchouli smelling crowd talking about the advantage of tele due to the fore/aft stability nonsense, ha. (for those that don't know what I'm talking about: https://www.feedthehabit.com/backcou...rned-at-skier/

PSA: Mount your own fucking skis.
I am with you but the 22Designs template doesn’t have a (clear to me) midsole line and it is hard to line everything up with the boot in the binder. I always end up there/close enough but I torment myself every time. Boot is 30.25cm pins to heel and I ended up lining up the 29 mark on the template on the line. That appears to put boot center on the line perhaps .25cm back. Template tells me to go 1-4cm back from the boot cm measurement so perhaps is telling me to place the 29.25-26.25 markings on the template on the line which is a stupid wide range (+ only has cm markings no fractions). I don’t get this voodoo so I sorta follow template sorta eye it.

For Freerides, I just put the boot in the binding, line up boot center on the line, mark the front of the binding on topsheet with a marker, then remove boot and mount there. For 22 Designs template measure the distance between the front of binding and pin holes, make a new mark that far back from the original, then line that mark up with the pin hole mark on the template.
I wish manufacturers would quit the "mount further back for tele" stuff. With modern boots and bindings, I agree with tuco.

Take 1/2 of boot sole length(pin line to sole) measurement and put a mark that far forward of ski center line. You are now mounting from pin line or I believe 22D marks it on their clear template as chord center

When you have template taped to 1st ski, you can mark the ski center onto the clear template(mark what boot & size) for future mounts

I used same technique with Rainey jig with pin line - measure pin line to boot center, mark that measurement forward of ski center, put jig at that line and you’re mounting boot center at ski center
I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

PSA: Mount your own fucking skis.
Somewhat embarrassing given the # of AXL mounts I’ve done I’ve consistently ignored the pin line and spun my own varying degrees of voodoo into the process. That said I am not overly concerned about a +/- 1cm margin of error.....
Update - I was back about .6cm (guessed .3 above) so going to move up 1/4 of an inch and call it a day!
Thanks again.Last edited by Doremite; 11-24-2020 at 03:40 PM.

Alright. I searched and found a few hits on this, but not enough to feel totally comfortable. I'm trying to mount my own fucking skis.
I'm buying a wintersteiger bit. Ski calls out for a 3.6x9.5. Hard to find bits right now. Can I get away with a 3.5x9.5? Read someplace that 3.5 makes the screws harder to start. I'm guessing they are interchangeable, but if I should be getting a 3.6 to match the callout on the ski (K2 Marksman) lemme know.
Thanks.

another jong question - i can't find this anywhere on BD's website, but i'm mounting a pair of Cirque84's and they have a titanal mounting plate; does that mean i need to use 4.1 or can i use 3.5/3.6mm drill bit?

Sorry to hear, Tuco. Smaller terrain here in Northern VT with lots of tree skiing keeps the telemark interesting for me. I actually find it easier on the joints and lower back than alpine (ymmv). Knees?
Stoked on the Woodsmans and trying to find kid free window to put the drill on ‘em. Hope we get the snow to enjoy ‘em this season. Have both Wren and Woods 96 set up telemark as well and find myself satisfied with that ski width more often than I’d like to.Uno mas
