Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Does anybody know if it's easy to do a DIY swap of Marker bindings for Fritschis ?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

D'ya know, I think this is the first topic I've ever posted at snowheads. snowHead

Anyway, I have a set of skis mounted with Marker M12's.

I also have a set of skis mounted with Fritschi Freeride +'s.

I want to put the Fritschis on the Marker mounted skis but I've never mounted bindings before so I don't know if there's a standard position drill hole sitting underneath the Markers that the Fritschis would marry up to.

I'm hoping that someone will have more of a clue than me (being the clueless). I have some tools (adjustable spanner, various screwdrivers, monkey wrench, electrical circuit tester, rotary sander, tile cutter, pipe freezer etc) but maybe something 'specialist' is required ? Be free to tell me to go to a ski shop if you think that none of those would do the job. Smile

Yours hopefully.

Im no expert either but each model of binding has a special jig which makes sure the holes are drilled correctly for that binding making sure they are mounted correctly for your boot length. A special drill bit only allows holes of the corect depth to be drilled too.
So go through the tool box again and see if you find a jig for the FRitschi's before you make swiss cheese of your skis! Madeye-Smiley

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

Go to the ski shop before you trash your skis.

Thanks & very glad I asked. Smile

Often, when I'm on a mission to build or repair something, I don't bother reading the instruction manual or asking a question before dismantling it despite discovering the inevitable extra screw, nut, washer, flange, seal, bearing, fuse, hinge, sprocket or diode laying on the carpet after it's all been put back together again and appears to be working fine.

This approach is OK when you think you know what you might find inside and when it's not going to hurt you if it nearly works properly most of the time. Ski binding mountings are a mystery though and I value their contribution to the mechanical link between be and my planks so won't take the risk.

Wise choice. It's not a difficult job by any means, but it does require the right kit and a bit of knowledge.
