    Mounting skis in SF - REI or Sports Basement

    Anybody have skis mounted at the SF REI or either of the Sports Basement? Good? Bad?

    Have a pair of skis I want to get mounted with some Tyrolia Attack demo bindings. Should be straightforward but do know that this all depends on who is working at either spot. Unfortunately can't make it to Cal Ski company in Berkeley and want to have skis mounted as doing a day trip to Tahoe this coming weekend.

    Thanks!

    Fully earnest suggestion: have you considered mounting them yourself? It's not hard to do with normal bindings, and even easier with demo bindings.

    Unfortunately don't have the tools/work area to do it properly. Apt living in SF makes space tight for such things...

    All that is required is a table (or floor), a tape measure, screwdriver, glue/epoxy, and a drill. A good skill to learn for sure and there's not much to it if you are handy at all.

    And a special bit or little block of wood to be double sure you don't drill through. Marking the bit with tape is OK if you're already pretty good with a drill. Making a block or using a special bit to set the depth is safer.
    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    Still looking after 6 weeks? Maybe try posting in Gimp Central.
