 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I managed to knock probably about 1.5 inches off the edge on my Nordica Nitrous'. Also, another half inch has come loose. 99% of the damage is on the slightly raised tail.
Anyone know a repair shop in the SW/W London area that would do a great job with some epoxy and replacement edge? Figure that with a good repair and using that edge as the outside edge they may still be usable - also does anyone have an idea of appx cost for such a repair?
Thanks - appreciate the help

Oh - to put this in perspective, they were new to me that week off Ebay for £150 in great condition, and i blew the edge 4th day using them. Because of that it would be great to get them repaired - i really enjoyed them till i ruined the bugs!

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

Best thing is to take them to a shop and chat to the techs there.
I have a pair of Solomon 1080's where the edge came away on one of the tails. The guys at S&R in Chertsey chopped the loose bit away, filled the gap with resin and its been fine for the last 4 weeks away.
(But I'm off to the Birmingham Ski Show at the weekend so it might be their last gasp).

mylespe, for a ski of that value & for damage in that location it's definately not worth the cost of an edge repair which, in addition to the section of new edge, requires a piece of base being removed & then patched etc. The damaged area just needs epoxying & clamping.
