Great video. I have a pair of ~2012 RC4 Superiors, which I want to adjust to my daughter's boots. The plate will stay, but I need to drill and tap holes for the heel bindings (front has more granular set of holes). What should be the diameter of drill and tap (is it standard metric thread) for this operation?

Thanks for the video! It was informative and leads me to believe this is above my mom race tech pay grade and will be bringing the skis to my favorite shop 😅. All the skis have race plates with holes pre drilled but until I pull the bindings off the shorter skis I won’t know what it looked like before they were mounted. The newer RC4 SL skis have a single race plate instead of a two piece, I was hoping to pull the Z14 bindings off the SL and move them to the 180 GS skis but those have two piece plates that don’t touch and I have no clue what to do about the center screw. If I can move them then I’ll put the RC9’s on the shorter GS and the SL. Thanks again!

It would take me 4 hours doing this with paper templates.

Say you have a ski which already has bindings installed. Is it easy to add plates to your ski at a later stage if you decide you want them? Conversely is it just as easy to remove them after putting them on? Is redrilling involved in both leading to unnecessary holes in the skis? What happens with the holes?

Well Done

Torque wrench 🔧 ?

is that maximum allowabble height to get pussy at the club?

Cool so shockingly easy.

awesome video !

Great information, thank you! Nice binding test rig. GwinsLodge.com Alaskan cabin rentals

What type of glue is used!?

I recently bought a pair of used Rosignals w/ Salomon S9 Spheric bindings & Salomon 226mm boots...The bindings were mounted for an extremely large foot, possibly sized 13 -14 US (I'm size 10 US), so wanted to remount them myself. I measured and checked the boot sole length and found that I only needed to move the (front) toe binding back (toward heel binding), by about a half an inch... Measured, marked & drilled and got everything fairly precise, but then the boot Centerline doesn't quite meet up to the ski's centerline (off by about 1/8")...Is that a big deal, or enough to cause any problems, since it's not quite in the "sweet spot?" Thanks for any advice, or help anyone can lend!!

are the race plates removable once you put them on

had no idea there are binding test machines out there (outside of a factory).

I had an analog binding test.. gotta love technology!

Underarm pro

What, no torque screwdriver to properly set the screws?

i have to know if i can remove bindings from my ski and replace them .. please help me ...

Hi, great video. When drilling into a race plate, do you still tap the holes and use the glue or Locktite to secure the screws? Thanks.

My wife, as a beginner about 8 years ago blew her knee out on bindings that were set up, (I won't give the name) at a ski shop in West Lebanon, NH. I think they used a torque wrench. I've skied my whole life and always set my own to where I feel they should release every year. Sometimes I do it right before getting on the lift. I probably look like a total idiot with my screw driver out there. When I gain strength through the winter I may adjust them a little tighter. I trusted the shop to do it instead figuring they knew more than I. It really stinks because she was really doing well and she hasn't skied since. t have no idea if what I'm doing is right but I'm over 50 and no problems yet, (as I knock on wood). That machine looks awesome but after what happened I won't ever trust settings without checking the release on my own before skiing.

What if the customer wants a DIN that is not recommended by the chart? I ski right out of my bindings at the recommended setting, using almost twice that to ski. They release when they should, but not before.

Whaaaat?!?! Wintersteiger makes as automatic ASTM machine? I work for a major ski resort in Colorado, and they make us test it out with a manual Newton Wrench. It was the bane of my existence for this last year.

Great video, thank you very much! I knew about "calibrater" for release retntion testing, in your video you use much more sophisticated tool. What is the name of this machine?

Thanks a lot This is my first time to see the test of binding release. As in China ,people do not care much about Din . We will merely input the parameters of skier's information (etc. weight,height,sole length & skiing level) and get a approximate Din value from some websites or the Din value table. and most skiers will set Din value themselves according to there own experience. And i have never seen the Din test machine in China, although i have been to almost every famous ski resorts in China. Learned a lot from this video. Thanks a lot.

what is the name of that glue? Thanks.

Came here to see if I was capable of doing this myself....AND I can't

Excluding DIN, there are a few other exceptions...AT (Alpine Touring) boot soles are different than 'standard' alpine boots and 'system skis' can only use the binding that they come with.

11/12, 12/13, etc. is the season...2011-2012, 2012-2013, etc. You do not have to have the same year/season skis, boots and bindings. In fact, often when people get new skis they will transfer the bindings from their previous skis (as long as the binding still passes a release test, the brake width is wide enough and the person is still skiing in the same DIN range).

Guys, improve your ski skills does not have to be hard (I used to think it did). I'll give you some advice right now. Search a training program called Avalorexon Training Program (google it). Seriously, thanks to Avalorexon Training Program I have become a better skier. I probably shouldn't even be mentioning it cause I do not want a bunch of other guys out there running the same "game" but whatever, I am in a good mood today so I'll share the wealth haha.

Changing from center mount back to traditional should be no problem. You should not have a problem with any hole overlaps.

Hey My skis bindings are mounted in the centre of my twin tip skis. Now is it possible to remount them to traditional setting with the same boot???? please reply

you own a lot of skis!

Binding jigs can only be purchased by a retailer (ski shop). Paper jigs are available from many manufacturer's for do-it-yourself-ers, if a paper jig is not available you would have to try your luck at "free-handing" the mount....which is NOT recommended.

Is it possible to get one at home and mount your own skis?

A release check is done to make sure a binding is in proper working order. Rental bindings on skis are subject to a release test at the start of each season (and periodically after that), the shop knows the binding is good from that. No need to do a release test each time the rental ski goes out since the shop is providing both the boot and the ski/binding. It is just when the binding/ski is provided by the customer that it needs to be done because the shop does not know its status/if its good.

Bindings are mounted according to "Boot Sole Length". The sole length will vary from mfg to mfg....so a size 26 Nordica boot has a different boot sole length than a 26 Lange, etc. Adjusting the binding each time you ski with a different boot is not difficult to do, but needs to be done by a professional so that forward pressure and release pressure are correct. A ski shop cannot legally make these adjustments without doing a "Release check" on the binding every time you rent a boot (ie: $35).

ski is 5th element and the binding is marker ..nothing crazy good because i just got into sking, that and i already dished out for new boarding gear...

Hi Pete- It depends on the ski and the binding. What is the ski? And what is the binding? Sometimes you just need to tweak the brakes out (by bending them by hand) to make them work, sometimes you actually need to get a different binding. Tell us what ya got and I can let you know more. Thanks! Tracy

What i learnt is that i live in the past and all the places i ve been skiing are stuck in the past as well and i would like to visit the future!Where are you from?In what heavenly place does all this happen?If you saw what happens in all the places i ve been, it would be like you visiting the past! Needless to say i love professionalism

GOT A QUESTION..I been snow boarding for years, i just took up sking and its actually going great..im in the market for gear..what i wanna know is i found skis twin tipped 170cm, with a tip/waist/tail as fallows, 115-85-106...will a binding with a 85 mm brake work for this ski since the width of the ski itself is a 85 ..keep in mind i dont know shit about ski gear..

Will bring my race skis there in Jan.

What I learned from this video is that I won't do this myself. A valuable lesson.

wood glue works great.

what kind of glue do you use in the holes?

Where would I found then on the web site

where do you buy the jigs

how mach one fischer ski race pro

haha thats ny dad

Bought the wing pro this year but what goggle will fit this helmet without leaving a gap at the forehead? only a uvex goggle? and which model ?
