 Poster: A snowHead
|
Two weeks ago I went to fit the new schizofrantic bindings to my daughter skis to discover they are the K2 version, designed for inserts on K2 skis.....whoops.........no wonder they were a bargain!! the base plates don't match the hole spacing on my jig at all.........must be k2 specific captive plates?
Have worked out I need the actual distance between the heel and toe inserts and the boot centre mark measuring the ones that are closest to the boot centre mark on a K2 ski designed for this schizo binding , will be a recoil or a kung fuja something like that.
measure centre of hole to boot centre mark if possible...thanks
Then I can freehand fit them.............

@carroz, back in the day, one drilled skis freehand all the time. Assuming you have the boots handy, just be carefull...

If you're not sure, measure up and mount on a scrap piece of timber with the binding adjustment centered so you can check the boot fit. If you have access to a pillar drill it will make hole alignment easier.

@under a new name, @anarchicsaltire, Piece of wood and trial and error wil be the way then, have done freehand before, finding centre line etc, just was hoping to save a bit of time. The plates have a range of sizes for each hole, to suit the fixed inserts in the k2 skis.

You'll need to Register first of course.

From memory I think it might be 12cm from boot centre line both back and forward to middle of nearset screw. If I get time I will check tomorrow.

Upon looking at the binding again it is not as easy as that. What sole length is the boot?

it is 268mm, which is right at the bottom limit, she will be moving up to the next size boot mid season probably, so 278mm then.
Each plate (toe or heel) has 4 forward and 4 rear holes marked with boot size ranges.
I assume on the k2 ski with the captive inserts you just mount them lining up the relevant holes equivalent to the boot sole.
So if i know the distance from the centre line to the first set of captive inserts on a k2 ski for the heel and toe plates then I can use the plates as a template. The heel piece of the binding moves back and forth to compensate for the different boot sole lengths in the range
