    One last binding question

    I got some great advice on a binding issue I have and took the advice that skiing on a sketchy toe piece would be bad for my ACL. I was told by a shop that my toe piece was shot and testing way above. I had another one test it and they said they were fine. I have yet to get them into a third shop but Friday I was at a SWAP and found a pair of skis with the same bindings on them, super cheap. So,my question. If I take my skis in and the binding tests out of range, it is ok to just swap out the toe piece from the other set? I really don't need or want the second pair but I bought them as an insurance policy if the toe is indeed fucked.

    Just wanted to be sure.

    All of the shops I've worked at have been OK with this. It may differ from shop to shop, but you'd probably have better luck with a smaller shop. You'll want to test the "new" toepiece, but replacing it should be OK.

    Cool, I thought so. I figured that if the shop baulked, I would take the skis home, change out the toes, and take them to a different shop to be tested.

    Thanks much for the info,
