 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've picked up some used Dynastar sultan 85 skis off ebay with marker jesters (2011 model i think). They're currently set for boot sole length 329mm but my boot size is 305mm to 309mm depending on brand.
They appear to be centre mounted and Im told only drilled once (at purchase). Question is can they be adjusted that far without being re drilled and even if they could would I now be too far forward for 60% piste / 40% off piste?
Bindings are as pictured here

They may just reduce in length by that amount, depending on what jig length was used, but it's unlikely. However a centre mount is shoite for your requirements so you're going to have to remount them anyway.

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

Thanks for advice. Guess it's a redrill combined with a service or cut my losses and see if a bigger booted skiier would make better use of them.

How far back would be ideal for 70kg 6ft2 skiier. Don't take big jumps but ski fairly aggressively and fair bit of offpiste

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Use the standard mounting line but just check that's it's the same distance from the tip of the ski on both skis.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Was in snow and rock today so got them to take a look. Their tech said there wasn't enough room to re drill without going either too far back or forward. Think I'll try and sell them on to a size 28/29 boot.
There were 2 sets of drill holes at either end of the bindings, is that correct for jesters or does that mean they've been drilled twice already?
Cheers for your help spyderjon. Shame I'm in London / herts and not able to bring them to nottingham

Yep, they've been drilled twice.

Ah feck. Well guess that's the risk buying off eBay. Hopefully someone with a 28/29 boot will want them as their a good setup.
150 if anyone on here reads and is interested,

Lift faffer, Are the other set of holes for a different boot sole length or just a different mounting point ?

They looked to be a few cm apart so I would guess different boot. I can try and contact the previous owner if you're interested
