Just finished mounting my G3 Ion 12's on a pair of Blizzards. I had to do it 'cause all the ski shops are closed due to Covid. This worked perfectly! Thanks for putting the video out. as an FYI one mistake I made (and thankfully caught) was marking the sole length in the wrong spot on the second template. Before putting them on the ski, I held both prepared templates up to the window over the top of one another to make sure they matched and caught the problem. The window trick worked great for aligning each half of the template as well as confirming they were the same length. Thanks!
Very useful video. I like your means of checking and re-checking accuracy. Your English is excellent. The instrument you use is called a "vernier calliper" and the plastic angle measurer is called a "protractor" and in your second video the thing you use to clean up the top of the hole is called a "countersink drill bit". Hope you get some good skiing this year.
thanks mate :D yeah, we already had some awesome powder days. If you want to see some footage: check out my main channel (4freeskier) it's in German but i also upload my edits there. (thy should be in a playlist) ;)
To be pedantic it is actually a Set Square (With Protractor markings). I only mention it because I was searching Amazon for a protractor myself and they were all the usual semi-circle style which is of no use here... until I came across and ordered this: "Rotring Centro Large Geometry Set Square with Handle 23cm" :) But yes, a brilliant, careful & precise video!
best video on how to do it by far. IMPORTANT: paper size in US, in comparison to the paper size used on those templates, makes the print out to be bit smaller than in reality. To fix it, when printing Scale to 103% to get the right size
I really appreciate this video and you did a really good job explaining step by step how to do this and thanks to you I will be mounting up some bindings tomorrow. The only question I have is at 11:52 it looks like you marked the 2nd half of the template at 295 sole length vs 305 which you did on the first one. I can see how this would be an easy mistake when you turned the template around for the camera. Did you catch this before drilling? I assume you want them both marked at your boot sole length (305 in your case) before taping the 2 halves together? Regardless, this is probably one of the best videos I've seen on mounting bindings. Thanks!
His set square is kinda cool, I think it's called a Geodreieck Protractor, used in Germany. Combines a square triangle, ruler and protractor in 1 tool. Seems those tools all sold separately here.
I did it on a pallet board first to make sure I had it down and then did it on my skis. I took my time and it worked perfectly. Doing a trial run on a board was important. I learned a few things and got confident. The ski installation itself was then a breeze.
A lot of skis have lines on them indicating the centre - are those generally not to be trusted? BTW. Thanks for the video. I like your insistence on checking and rechecking everything, it's a good system.
Lots of work requiring huge amount of time. Going to dealer's workshop at the expense of let's say 35,- Euro saves you time, energy and money (since time == money.) But you can't say I've done it by myself! Dealer's have some adjustable hard metal-templates which can be fixed upon the skis. They're way more accurate than your compiled and sticked papers.
Excellent tutorial. Mounted mi new bindings perfectly. Now I have an issue, drilled another pair of skis (went a little bit further), screwed long screws, so I tooked them off. Now i have the correct screws. Should I use the same wholes? Adding epoxy to it of course. Thks for your help
Jonny? Watched this a couple years ago for the first time, am rewatching/learning/delving even deeper into skis again, AKA online research, what's up dude? 😉👍
Question on Marker MRR's : I have a brand new Marker MRR EPS3 racing binding that I love (my 3rd one). If I am correct I heard use the Jester binding template. Is that correct or is there a separate/distinct template for the MRR? I see an "M-Series" template on that German template link but not sure if if is referring to MRR's or another M line that came later. Thanks in advance!
@@hanzhang1068 is the all bindings templates? :) I have Blizzard bindings, but in your link I cant find Blizzard template. Maybe Blizzard is same as some other producers bindings? :)
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!!
Or you can simply take it to the local shop, get it done by a professional using a jig, rather than freehanding on a $1,000 skis. Not to mention to get a release function test to make sure you won't blow up your knees.
This is not safe! As someone who has mounted thousands of bindings over years I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS!!!!! Go to a certified local ski shop and promote a local business. You are not saving a dime if you tear a ACL.
German engineering. Showed very careful measuring. Great skills particularly using English as his second language. Well done young man. Well done.

@@neilburrows6670 I was literally just going to type this. He doesnt even use the protractor scale.
That what is really needed these days boy!!!
Far too many tourists shops where no one can do something complicated. Amazing

The triangle is called a speed square in construction (in the US) ..great video!
Great tips!
I Remember one time in Revy just eye-balling a re-mount.
Speed square looks to be beneficial...
Tool in your right hand is a CALIPER, at least in English.
Tool in your left hand is protract.
Good video😁

you are right, thats why you should always check if the "middle lines" of both skies are on the same hight, so i did not drill wrong holes ;)
The tool is called “Calipers.” What you have is a non-digital one. It is an amazing tool just like your video :)
He is referring to the metal jig guides you can buy, you clamp to your ski and use the guide holes to drill.

That measuring tool is called a caliper FYI =)
Dynafit Radicals template is correct. Make sure you print at 100% size, and not "fit to page".
That’s such a pretty ski
Fine work! For such a young guy it's well done, thanxxx!

great video! this is so intimidating to try and do though!
I might get a friend to teach me...
I don't want to mess up!!

I was wondering if you could 3d print a mounting guide?
Ohhh no! I watched you cut the paper right on top the perfectly new table (5:53) and can't focus now
Yeah, that traumatised me too!
I told my buddy you gotta drill holes to mount ski bindings and he looked so confused i had to show him hahahah, he snow boards
Excellent.
Great video!

RIP table
The tool is called a caliper. They even have digital ones that will give you exact decimal dimension
Thats not the tool he was talking about. Id call it a protractor but ive never seen a triangle
@@coleydrew The tool he says he doesn’t know the name of is a caliper... I’m an engineer and use one every day at work so I should know
@@coleydrew he also doesn’t know the name of the protractor so you are also correct

Great video! Can please ad the link to the binding patterns? Thanks!
sorry for the late answer, there is a link in the description now :)
It's called a "set square". 😎
The other one for measurement is "sliding caliper".
fantastic video! bravo!
Callipers and a makeshift ruler using a

I'm in the same boat, what was your solution?
Anyone have a valid link for king pin 13 template? Thanks! Great video!
Wasn't able to find a NNN BC template in your link. Is it possible that it comes by a different name...since it is in German?
thank you so mutch
very useful~~~
no way i have the exact same touring setup
Hi !why ? Must diy ?
Is the PewDiePie’s brother?
Lol 9:17 was that a joke or what :D
You can save more money not buying online.......
Or you can simply take it to the local shop, get it done by a professional using a jig, rather than freehanding on a $1,000 skis. Not to mention to get a release function test to make sure you won't blow up your knees.
..and yet you're here, commenting on "useless" video lol
More Information about the tablets. They are not yours!!
thats unprofessional. just use a second stripe of indexed paper instead of that stupid markings. accuracy could get up to 0.05mm!
This is not safe! As someone who has mounted thousands of bindings over years I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS!!!!! Go to a certified local ski shop and promote a local business. You are not saving a dime if you tear a ACL.
Andy B it’s so easy why would you pay someone … I never worked in a shop but have done this many times with no problems
