PSA: Mount your own fucking skis.

[halliday]

Mounted last night. Skiing them later today. Psyched!

C) Screw binding into a 2x4 while open, then flip the lever over to ski mode a couple times - Result: springs lift the binding off the 2x4 with enough force to rip front screw out.

I’ve only mounted one pair of dynafit and one pair of marker alpinists myself, but “enough force to rip the front screw out” does not sound good to me and doesn’t sound in family with my limited experience.

Battle of the 188s.

Mounted up some MVP108s and Sheeva 11s (Rustler 11 with ladies topsheet as I understand it).



Borrowed Eluder's sth2 jig--oh boy does it make life easy compared to fiddling with paper templates. Especially when dodging hole conflicts on the Sheevas (2 prior mounts, filled with bamboo and g/flex).

10/10, would recommend.

Another successful mount in the books. Pardon the messy workbench.

Those Hoji’s look like so much fun. My dream powder touring setup. I might have to grab a pair before they go out of stock for the year.

What mess? Where?

Ha. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to keeping shit out of the way, but mounting skis with a tight timeline and the help of a 5 year old means all the things all over the place.

Nice mount and nice work space.

That is my dream garage setup. Nice setup and mount!

Thanks both. I lived without a garage for most of my life, so I went a little overboard when I was finally able to build one. It still needs organization but its much better than standing on my porch like I used to do.

I have done 7 mounts on my kitchen island... Garage expansion with a dedicated tuning/storage/workshop is at the top of the list.

Remounted some old favorites

Finally got around to installing inserts in these new beauties.

Anybody try a flush-cut saw to remove plugs? Is it any better than a chisel or razor blade?

[AlpiNord]

Personal preference. A fine tooth saw works fine.

that’s what you want to flatten out plugs.

If you mean to trim them to flush with the topsheet then yes, that is my preference since I have a couple really nice ones but whatever gets the job done. We’re talking $800 skis not the trim job on a $2m house or a $30k fine woodworking table.

I just use my oscillating multi-tool.

(I'm sure someone will accuse me of being a barbarian though.)

[XXX-er]

yeah i asume he means trimming excess, I thot I just bashed plastic plugs in mostly flush with topsheet, an olfa knife works fine to shave down whatever is left of plastic plugs, but cutting a dowel or skewer is a little tedious so a very fine hand saw would be nice otoh I wouldn't go out and buy one just for that

That's a pretty clean insert mount. Nice job.

Thanks. I'm installing them throughout the quiver, and have done 6 pairs this year. Just received another pack of 100 inserts, so I can get to the rest of them shortly.

Having the right tools, that's the key. And practice, of course.

Any idea if Speed Radicals and Warden 11s would see screw hole overlap? My template overlaws on photoshop say us but easily remedied by shifting ~1cm, but just wanted to see if others know for sure
