somehow i wasn't finding the pricing i wanted...so, it's Attacks

You just swap the AFDs and get the longer screws. Like $30 max.
Or are we missing something?

AFDs are like $20…

when i called Rossi, CS told me they don't have an AFD to fit old non-GW/WTR 14s

terry offered this experiment too: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...61#post6988061 & https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...61#post6988061 & https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...-Vs-WTR-Pivots

close but maybe not quite there...

Ah okay, as long as you’ve gone through that exercise, that makes sense. I have some orange fks pivots that were able to be converted, but beyond that, I don’t know a whole lot.

Bought a pair of the super cheep STP Faction Mana 4's. Installed some super cheep asogear black attack 13's for the murdered out look.

I want to see if these can act as some dollar store Noctas. Dimensions are similar, flat camber instead of the Nocta's reverse, but things look pretty close. We'll see.

Mounted up these pieces of shit last night, they look fun.

[californiagrown]

I briefly looked at the normal sources for binding templates and didnt see any for solly/atomic junior bindings? Am i just blatantly missing something here?

[Sklimber]

Bit tip broke off in the screw. Any suggestions for removal? Can't get a drill bit tip to penetrate.

Can you drill a small diameter hole and get a screw into the metal?

bit is good and hardened so getting a hole in there will be tough without a true carbide bit. i'd go that route. if not, got a welder? broken bit is probably too small to tack to without the screw getting involved but you could tack to both and work the screw out.

[dwoovre]

This is the way

[stealurface831]

This is the way

i would caution and clarify, it is the alternative. a good carbide bit should bust right through the breakage but the welder is a sure bet. however, if you fuck up with the welder, you got your work cut out for you in precision dremeling and filing.

Agree. Picked them up for $75, they are pretty beat to shit and a little short for me but had a blast slashing around Alpental last night.

The 188s are really fun, the 193s are full turbo mode

HEAT

you can probably get purchase on that screw but i was gona point out you got the other 3 screws out so rotate the whole binding as you rotate that screw when you figure that out

heating that screw up will probably make it easier to get out at this point and maybe that piece of driver will move

also for any camper reading this its not always apparent before you strip a screw or break a driver
but some heat would have been good BEFORE this happened and I have done that even tho i knew better

so as soon as you got the slightest inkling something is stuck

No welder. I can borrow a soldering iron. Any ideas there?

I will get a proper carbide bit and see if that works.

carbide should get it done.

I was getting some chatter trying to charge on the 183’s but could definitely see the big boys being more stable.

How much heat are we talking? I don't want to melt the plastic on the binding

[stealurface831]

might be where that soldering iron comes in. good way to keep the heat localized. if that doesn't work i'd just wait til the morning and get carbide and left hand bits.

[waveshello]

Do you have a Dremel? You can use a cutoff wheel to cut a slot in the top of that screw, so you can remove it with a large flat blade screw driver. Use a soldering iron to heat the screw for 30-60 seconds before trying to turn it at all. If it's not coming loose, keep heating it in 30 second increments until it does. If you accidentally cut your crampon adaptor a little I think that's a pretty cheap replacement from skimo.co

[XXX-er]

Try 20 or 30 seconds, stop when you see the plastic shim smoking, some Irons are only 25W which is enough to do wiring but this job it needs a 75-100W soldering iron

If you don't have a soldering iron put a 1/4" drill bit in your drill BACKWARDS and run the shank against the screw head at high speed

the friction will generate heat

This X10. Put a soldering iron on that screw head and try heating that way, before any of the other suggestions here like drilling or Dremeling a slot.

I think you mean cobalt.

I've had driver tips break off like this before, they seem pretty locked in there but pop out sometimes with little effort. Some heat or cold is where I would start first, with a dental pick to work at it. After that, drill it out with a cobalt drill bit.
