Put your boot in it and take a pic of the heel pins and how far off center to the boot with the boot heel sitting just above the pins. If it's just a little bit I wouldn't be concerned. My first dynafit mount was a little off and I never had issues with it. If you post a picture of the heel I'm sure someone who is far more knowledgable than myself will chime in.
Yeah, put the boot in the toe piece and see how far out of line the heel inserts are. That's the only way to see how far off center the mount is. That's tougher to do with the rotating toe of the new Radical 2.0 and Beast 14. What I've found that works to center the toe is to lock it in touring mode, then check the alignment.
On a similar note, if the pins are out of alignment, often times the alignment can be made better by re-tightening the toe screws (re-glue them if you do this) using the boot to align the whole rig. Start all 4 toe screws loosely and then slowly tighten them all down i using the boot to align the heel pins correctly until they're all tight. If you tighten the toes haphazardly it can make the alignment in the rear pins go off by a few mm. It's been discussed here and at Wild Snow many times before. Just be sure to lock the toe in touring mode to center it before you tighten the screws down.
If anyone in the northern Bay Area wants to MYOFS, but wants the aid of a jig, I have a Jigarex with Radical and Radical 2 plates. I have all the stuff necessary to do BF inserts (but no spare inserts/screws/epoxy), and I think also a normal bit. PM me if interested.
Thanks for your help! I will take more pictures tonight.
They seem to line up fine. This is with the toe locked. Attachment 171731Attachment 171732Attachment 171733Attachment 171734
Can you tell which is the straight one and which is the crooked one?
The clicked-in pics are with the crooked one. The first of the not-clicked-in pics is of the crooked one.
Looking at them, everything looks lined-up straight. No problems clicking in.
Just see how they ski and remount if necessary? Very excited for the new 2.0s! I can post a quasi-review once i put a couple days on them.
Thanks for your help! Now can someone help explain to me when to use hyphens?
First one looks ever so slightly off but I wouldn't be complaining or trying to mess with rescrewing toe pieces or anything because its so damn minor. Almost anyone who skis dynafits would have skied something off by more than that.
What I would check however is your spacing - I could be wrong but looks like you might have a bit too much room between housing and boot
Mounted all these fucking skis since the end of last season. Well...except the Elans - and they don't really get "mounted" anyway.

Yeah spacing... I made my own spacer using nickels and masking tape lol. Ill check it out at a shop before i ski them, with a real spacer.
Actually still planning to put inserts into these holes before skiing them so... That will add another level of excitement and complexity.
Finaly ready!

Sheesh! That is one good lookin rig!
Anyone in BZN want to show/help me mount my own fucking skis? Sixer on me.
Shit man, had I not moved, we could've had a MYOFS party at my place. Sorry,Quote:

Glue. I'm too lazy to search all 32 pages. I've been doing exclusively inserts with 72 hr epoxy last few years, but I'm doing a pair of skis w/o inserts for someone that wants to remove the bindings at the end of the year with minimal fuss. Wood core no metal. Besides Roo Glue what are you guys using that's available at the local hardware store that wont be a PITA on removal? Plain ol' wood glue?
waterproof wood glueQuote:

Big Steve recommended using the 3m 5200 marine adhesive awhile back and that is all I ever use now. I like that you can break loose w/o soldering iron in field.
What's the issue with using roo glue?
Nothing. I can't get it at the hardware store. I'd need to order it.Quote:
