![]() ![]() You still with a regular screw for the binding, then you bore out the hole to the proper size with a special tool to make it the correct size for the BF insert. That's actually how you are supposed to mount them in the first place. If I understand this is perfectly fine to use old holes. Trice with insert for my Attacks and I wish to have the option to run my new Kingpins on them as well, especially since I got skins which can be use for them already. So, I am left with a 'spinner'- My current plan is to epoxy the hell out of it, get it in there flush with the topsheet, and call it good. My others ones, Down Throwdown is the ones I'm a bit worried about, they a in excellent condition and a fucking love them as an all around ripper but they are drilled two times. I just ran into my first Quiver Killer hitch- I didn't quite get my drill bit bottomed out to the stopper on one hole, so when I tapped it the threading stripped slighty. So my solution was to take my Attacks from my Magic Js to my thinner ones. **This post was edited on Oct 4th 2017 at 9:11:41pmįluffycloudsIs it a bad idea mount the inserts in a current drillhole? Happen to blow my old STH late last season and obviously hadn't cash for a new binding. Obviously I want the Kingpins on my MJs, but they don't have breaks in that width and it looks like they will point in a weird ass angel if a bend them. Remove the bindings on my TDs and mount the inserts in the very same hole or plugg and drill new one?įlush my idea of the Kingpin option for them or not? Will get a third pair for big mountain/touring and I realize that QK will make travelling a lot easier, but how should I manage this?

This is a good option for people that want to save money, enjoy home projects, and anticipate using multiple pairs of skis over the years. Anyone can install inserts at home, but it requires a few specialty tools. Is it a bad idea mount the inserts in a current drillhole?

Havent ripped out at all on me, but I guess I’m no Sean Pettit when riding. I love travelling with 2-3 different types of flat skis and only one set of bindings. It seems crazy to me to need one set of bindings per pair of skis. Honestly, I can’t imagine ever going back to mounting bindings the standard way. I’ve been running BindingFreedom for a number of years, as have a bunch of the Newschoolers staff. The system would be ideal for my job as there's control mornings where we have to skin up (or some misery boot packing) to doing avalanche control and once that's done it's back to inbounds skiing all day. If the inserts don't rip out or have any issues with them I find it hard to not give these a trial. I get that the best answer is to have two skis one for inbounds and one for touring, which is what I normally end up doing. Hoping to run some Look pivots and dynafit bindings for the same ski.Īny insight good or bad would be appreciated. I have looked in to them for 3 years but have never actually commited to putting them on some skis. I haven't seen too much advantage for the slotted top compared to no slot, but we did not have the install tool to compare installations with.Skipatrol001Does anyone actually use these systems. ![]() But bindingfreedom, the originator, has the capacity to handle more changes with the rolled threads over the cut threads in the quiver killers. Neither had the install tool designed by Jondrums though. When my bother installed his bindingfreedom inserts he ended up using the bolt nut combination that i used to install my quiver killers. If i recall correctly he was saying he might not have cut the thread deep enough or may have had too much epoxy in the hole. I believe my friend had an issue using the flat head to install his bindingfreedom inserts. My brother and a friend both installed some of the new bindingfreedom inserts in their skis, and they are really liking them. I personally installed some quiver killers and haven't had an issue of a thread striping or running out of thread for a fastener. The advantage of the longer rolled (forged) internal thread is definitely a benefit for the bindingfreedom inserts, increasing its durability and the number of changes it can with stand. I have a set of both in my tool box right now, looking at them physically they look the same, from the outside. ![]()
