WWMD? Iggy related

**Conundrum** · 03-02-2006, 04:50 PM

Picking up some Iggy FFL 200s from Hugh. Yeah, I'm totally stoked. They have been drilled for Linkens and Sollies (the measurement should fit my boot with no more holes). I do have a question though. I have some Bishop plates that will fit the Linken holes and Sollies that will fit the Solly holes. I'm teleing on 184 Mantras and have 190 Wizard Explosivs for my everyday alpine ski. WWMD? The Exploders are pretty used so I'm leaning alpine but wondering how if anyone knows how they tele...

Not sure how large an hombre you are, but I tele'd these back when I was young and strong, and they were a freaking handful. I needed a siren to warn people to clear the area, because I moved very fast with very little control.

Even skiing them alpine, I need to be on my game.

This is just me but I think you have a rockin Tele setup with the Mantra's and Bishops. I would mount them alpine with some 916's. My .2 cents.

Hmmmm....you don't tele and we have the same boot size. Interesting

Yeah but I do have a pair of freerides coming and you could keep the Bishops. I even have those cobra's. O the wheels are turning now. If I could just sell those powderbirds.

Bishops mount on a plate that mounts on the ski. You can get second plates for $50 and I have some but I'll probably go with the Sollies and yes, you can take them out for some turns.

Just an FYI, unless they have changed the whole pattern of the Bishops, I dont think that the bomber holes fit the Linken holes.

After looking at the Linken template on-line, I think you are right. I just eyeballed some from a distance and thought they might work.

Cool, these will get some 916s then.
