binding screws too long?
I'm trying to mount some Ride bindings (my wife's new Vxn's) onto a smallish
K2 board. No matter how much I tighten--any tighter, and I fear I'll break through the bottom of the board--some of the washers remain loose on the baseplate disc. Doesn't seem to make sense that the screws would be too long, but.... (The screws had flimsy plastic washers to hold them--i.e., the were on the underside of the binding; I removed them, assuming they were there for shipping purposes). The bindings I'm replacing are Clickers, and those screws are too shallow. |

The bindings I'm replacing are Clickers, and those screws are too shallow. It's possible that the screws are two short. Some boards have deeper inserts than others... if the board is a small women's board, it might be thinner than normal in order to be more flexible. Do the screw heads stick up above the plane of where the boot goes into the binding when tightened? If not just add more washers on top. If yes, you need shorter screws. Mike T |
