 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Never had to tackle the "where to mount" question before, so would appreciate any advice! Have twin tip (Icelantic pilgrim 90mm underfoot) and Fritchi Explore bindings. Gonna be using for some decent length tours in whatever conditions thrown at me - icy crud to fluff! Im only a little thing - 53kg, 159cm and skis are 151cm. I wont be doing any/much jibbing (well maybe the odd bit by accident before i fall over). Dunno if they were drilled for park or offpiste, but obviously will avoid drilling too close. There are cryptic markingsof A-1, B-1, C-1 and little way back CC-1, but havent got an answer from Icelantic about their meaning, so dont know the recommended point. Obviously Im not doing the drilling myself but expect the guys at the shop might need some input into position required. Any suggestions????

I have my touring bindings at the standard mount on my twins, Just 'cos they're touring bindings shouldn't make any difference to placement. Unless they're fully symetrical skis?

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

bitoffluff, PM Kiwi1 about the markings, I think they relate to telemark, alpine & AT positions.

parlor - cool, i ll do that
clarky999 - good to hear seems to work for you. nope, not fully symmetrical just thought maybe touring position might be further back than park set up.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Park set up would be completely central to the ski. You wouldn;t want that position for anythign other than pure spinning to win in the park.

the cc mark is core centre...a big no no for the pilgrim even if you want to ski park, the skis HATE being centred! moving onto the A/B/C markings, theyre for telemark....you're after the one that says BC, ie boot centre.

oops, im cross posting, so apoligies if youve seen this post on another thread - thanks for thwe advice on the CC. My pilgrims dont seem to have a BC mark - how do i decide between A or B or C? and should the centre of the boot line up with the relevant marking? cheers

bitoffluff, did you ever get your pilgrim's set up with Fritchi's? If so what mounting point did you use and how did they ski?
I'm about to put the new Freeride Pro's onto a pair of Icelantic Nomad's and I'm having the same dilemma's about mounting points. Any advice would be welcome.

Tinyman, mount your Fritchi's on the BC (Boot Centre) line.
The A-1, B-1 & C-1 marks are pin line mounting points for telemark bindings for skiers of differing weights. The CC mark is the chord centre mark for freestyle/park mounting.

hey tinyman - yep had an awesome winter in Scotland on my Pilgrims mounted at the Boot Centre (The BC mark, or maybe it stands for backcountry). Anyway they ski well there and really like the Pilgrims. Im a bit of a novice on techie stuff, so know nothing of the Nomads, but hope you have as much fun on them as i had in just one year on my Pilgrims
