    Remounting in same holes

    Tried the search function, got lots of conflicting info...

    I wanna play with the ramp angle/lift on my skis, so I'm wondering how many times it is safe to unscrew and remount in the same holes.

    I read some threads saying its no big deal to do (ie removing the toe shim on freerides), but other threads warn about stripping the holes and having to fix it with steel wool etc.

    SO: what are the chances of stripping a hole on the remount, and how many times can I do it? Are there different answers for wood/foam core, or for with/without metal sheet in ski?

    It depends on what your skis are made of. Plus, it can happen no matter what kind of ski insides depending on how they were originally drilled and the abuse the skis have had. I say go for it and if you have spinners, either use some steel wool, epoxy, or be ready to heli-coil.

    Just like neapolitan ice cream.




    Start with the pink, go to the brown, end it with the white stuff...
