help needed to mount fischer s-bound
I am mounting a pair of nnn-bc bindings on Fischer S-bound Snow Bound
skis, and have discovered that the balance point where you normally mount the pin center is about 2 inches behind the mounting point marked on the skis. Fischer won't tell me what to do they just say to take them to a dealler. I've called 4 dealers and they aren't sure what to do. Some say split the difference. Does anyone in this group know what to do? |

Does anyone in this group know what to do? If you want them to work well for kick'n'glide, pins on balance point is the way to go. Markings on the ski can not always be trusted since every once in a while things go wrong in the manufacturing process. Measure both the balance point and chord center and see where they end up relative to the mark on the ski. If possible check some other skis of the same model and see where their binding mark is. Moving the bindings forward will likely help in turning the skis, but might mess up the kick'n'glide if you ski in prepared tracks. Having to remount the bindings is not the end of the world, the holes can be filled and new ones drilled without affecting the ski at all. If it were my skis, I would try pins on balance point. If I felt the skis were much more difficult to turn than should be, I would remount the bindings. Of course double/triple checking your balance point measurement would be a good idea as well. _ Booker C.
