 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone know any ski shops just off the M4 that can fit a binding for £25?
Will be travelling along it so though could get my skis done at the same time...
Reading maybe...

Ski Bartlett is on the Uxbridge Road, not very far from J3 of the M4. You could give them a call to ask what the charge would be for fitting bindings (I'd guess £25 would be about right).

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

Yep, good call. They do:
# BINDING CHECK - Adjusting bindings to boots, adjusting DIN release setting and overall binding check - £10
# BINDING MOUNT - Mounting new bindings to new skis, or re-mounting bindings on old skis - £25
I'm guessing they'll charge both 
Seeing as I haven't got my boots with me, what should I ask them to do with the binding or is it best left til after?

I don't think they will fit bindings without your boots.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

rob@rar, they might. Telmark Pyranees supplied my skis complete with bindings once I had specified the boot length. I got spyderjon to check them out before use, though.

Bartletts insisted on having one of my boots when I asked them to move my bindings forward a few centimetres. If GordonFreeman knows his sole length they might mount the bindings, but I'd be surprised if they did.

Isn't there a place called Carters in Reading, too? My friend had boots fitted there, and was impressed with the care taken. By a lad with cerise hair.

Slush + Rubble M4/M5/A38? junction, follow the road towards Bristol for a couple of minutes. Just past the airport at Filton (is Concorde viewable there?)

Any ideas on an address as I'm absolutely rubbish with directions no matter how easy they sound. ...plugs in satnav and follows
I guess there's also S&R in Bristol...
