Poster: A snowHead
|
So, I went in to Ellis Brigham MK on Saturday to get my Rossi bindings put on my Public Enemies. (was going to go to Beans, but they didn't have a Rossi jig)
I walked in and asked their ski tech to mount them.
No problem, that'll be 20 quid.
(so, total price for skis + bindings + mounting around 270quid, while EB are doing the skis on their own for 310 in the sale)
Anyway, the guy says "where do you want the bindings put?"
...and before I have time to answer he is showing me and explaining how K2 twin tips are marked with a core centre and a mid sole mark, and then measured marks at 0.25cm each in between.
Having been on the Campbell Dynamic Balance, I know the answer, but he's still explaining why. I then say 1.75cm forward of mid sole. He looks a bit surprised. So while he's working that one out, I tell him I want the DIN set to 8.
I'm not sure where in the conversation, but there was definitely a moment when he realised that it was just possible that a punter had walked into his shop, and knew exactly what was needed.
(anyway, while he was doing that, I went and bought a Crate acoustic amp, but that's probably not something for the equipment review section here...)

JT, nah, this is just a cheap amp that I don't mind getting switched off at the mains etc. I only use valves for my Pensa.

spyderjon, yeah, the measurement was to 2cm, I think, but the nearest he could get my Heads was 1.5, which is also where I have the Seths mounted, but I just thought I'd go a bit closer with these ones.

ponder, like many threads, very little point, but it's just a bit of friendly banter.
