 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, this is my first posting, so thanks for reading. I have just purchased some new skis. Rossi B2's with Fritschi Freeride bindings. On getting them home I have noticed that one binding is mounted approx 2mm back than the other and is ever so slighltly off centre.
I am no technical expert at all, will this difference be noticeable and have any effect or is there nothing to worry about? I have taken photos but can find no way of posting them on this site.
The skis were purchased from a highly rated independant outlet (which I will not mention for now) that sell plenty of back country kit and appear to know their stuff.
Any advice greatfully appreciated.

I can't believe that 2mm makes much difference along the length of the ski
If they are mounted significantly off-centre width-ways (if you see what I mean) this is certainly grounds for returning to the shop so they sort it

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

To all of you who read this post and replied, thanks for your time and info.
It does however look as though I couldn't see the wood for the trees. I just ski and pay little attention to such details usually. A friend who is of the slightly more technical persuasion has taken a detailed look and a good deal of measurements and it appears that the mounting is true. So to the highly recommended shop (that I am glad I didn't mention) a fully deserved apology.
It appears that the silver sections on the top sheet tof the B2's that mark the area for the bindings to be mounted are not straight (apologies if there is a technical name for these). Because of this, when you look at the bindings from one ski to another they look to be in totally different poitions, when in fact they are perectly true to the centre lines of the ski when measuered using a rule and square.
Once again thankyou all for your time.
