I'll just go fuck myself, I guess.

the grey 03-04's. i put them on a couple skis that way and they always left indentions on the topsheet. though they didn't seem to be harmed, i noticed the screws were loosening out of the toe and the jaw was loosening. i took them to bd and they took care of me. i did ski those with the shim in and out w/o noticing much difference, so when i had my white/red set i never bothered to mount w/o.

Allrighty then......guess I'll be putting that shim back in or doing some grinding.

Just tried searching for the "Fritschi heel shim" thread without luck. One of my Fritschis has a bit of heel play even locked down. Did that heel shim have any benefit.

I've always thought my knees and ankles have enough play that i don't care about Fritschi binding slop.

A budd of mine has his bar end/cap wrapped in duct tape.....I'm assuming for that purpose.

No can do, Ghostrider.

Good grief, really? Of all the topics that have been beaten to death on this forum, this one has to be near the top.

Did you really search? Or is this just a bored-at-work troll?

Have you thought about a career as a para-legal Yossarian?

I didn't ask.......I INFORMED

Besides....irul is a lawyer and is therefore lazy as shit with no research skills......worthy of pity really.

I'm here because I care. And to make seldon feel like he has a purpose.

Yeah, on older models (grey/yellow) you had to take a razor and trim 1mm of material off the front of the plastic if you had removed the toe shim. Wasn't a big deal.

I'm pretty quick, eh? And no, I didn't.

Crypto math guy, however...might have been interesting. Fortunately, settling for "Contract Killer" has worked out okay for me.

Anyway, this thread was plenty entertaining for a lunch break.

And Kidwoo, I'm sorry for being mean to you during your little show and tell.

Ya got the search skills down cold. I was always shooting for the cynical secretary but I don't have enough cleavage to fill out the dress.

Well, there's always ass-crack cleavage. You could have given them that.

(It's not so much the search skills, it's having at least skimmed pretty much everything that has gone by at some point...well, maybe not everything, but an awful high percentage...I read really quickly...and then being able to remember that I read something vaguly on point somewhere before, and perhaps who said it. Not so much photographic or rainman shit, just a sort of "feeling" that the info is there in the brain somewhere. The most frequent thing I do of this nature is that I'll get some longish driving directions, follow them once, and then be able to repeat them again 10 years later without having been to that place in the interim. I don't so much remember the directions, I just drive until the name of the street feels right, then I turn in the direction that feels right. Weird. And I rarely miss. Kind of like homing pigeon-style. Maybe it's the same with these threads.

Or maybe it's a PROPER FUCKING USE OF THE SEARCH FUNCTION! hahaha

Your need to come in and insult me in a manner that contains no humor or insight in a thread that was actually on topic for a while and had nothing to do with you demonstrates your loserness.

Go away dork.
