Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

re-siting bindings

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Morning all,

I have my old skis up for sale on ebay, I assume there is no issue with a trained ski technichan redrilling bindings and plugging the old holes? Someone asked what size boots the binding will take, my answer is any size if you get them fitted properly.

cheers,

greg

No real issue at all, so long as they fill the old holes in. The buyer will be fine.

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

If the bindings can be adjusted to fit, then the buyer isn't going to have to pay a shop the £20 or so it will cost them to get the bindings remounted. So the skis are more attractive to the buyer if they don't have to have it done.

So whilst 'any size' is technically the correct answer, a more useful answer is to say that they are currently set up for bindings with a XXmm solelength (about a size Y).

I did actually answer that way Rob, and normally bindings can adjust up or down one size without redrilling.

Ah good! I know from my own ski sales on ebay that binding adjustment is a very common question.

RobW, I would never do that with used bindings. I want to have them adjusted to spec and then tested using a binding testing device. If one doesn't own one of those, one should definitely take them to a shop to make sure that the binding still function according to spec. I have pairs of bindings that looked just fine, but were out-of-spec. I'm glad I didn't ski on them!
