Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
So contacted my local ski shop about QK's on my Whitedot Preachers (they are already have barons on them).
"I'm afraid we can't be held liable for any issues which arise from their drilling.
Generally we wouldn't recommend their use as they are very detrimental to
the ski."
I thought this was a strange response, but maybe they are not that confident about fitting them.
Thoughts?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I will have to, probably end up posting them down to spyderjon.
Maybe they have had issues in the past. On another point it will be ok to redrill the current barron holes in my skis for the same binding?

Were you asking the shop about fitting QKs to refit the existing bindings or a to mount a different set ?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

They're no more detrimental than any other inserts, indeed, as they are tapped and screwed in they are, imho, far stronger than most other fitment methods as they are spreading the load over a wider area than normal screws.
What were their alternative suggestions? A new pair of skis perhaps?
Do they stock quiver killers or were you asking them to fit stuff you supplied? If they aren't familiar with doing it, then I can understand them being a bit nervous about doing it, but I certainly wouldn't say that they are 'detrimental' to the ski in any way.

My original email
"Can you remount my marker barons with quiver killers and does it have any
performance issues?"
If so can you give me a price?

No they don't seem to stock them.

Have any ski (or binding) manufacturers endorsed use of QKs. If not then maybe the shop is just being cautious about potential liability in the event of an accident using equipment they mounted in a 'non standard' way ?
