I bought myself a pair of fun skis (Volkl Racetiger SLs - flat) and am at present fretting over bindings. I bought these skis with the intent of making lots of turns at fairly extreme edge angles (think "extreme carving" or "bodycarving") -- so I'm a little concerned about boot-out.
My shop charges $42 to mount bindings. If I buy bindings from them, the mounting is free (they have some Marker Piston Control 1200 Titaniums for $150)
Me, I'm 6'3", 240lbs, and run a DIN of 10+.
So, am I nuts to put my MRRs on the SC plates? Do you have another suggestion?
TIA,
- Eric
- I do not have much money to spend anymore. Like, the closer to $0 spent, the better.
- I have a pair of like-new Marker MRRs. They have almost no lift at all.
- I have a Selective Control system that will work with them -- these will offer up ~8-9mm of lift.
- I've heard of making plates out of an old cutting board. This would require longer mounting screws (don't have), and I would lose whatever floating binding benefit the SC has to offer.
- The skis are drilled for a Marker Race Plates -- I don't have them, and the MRRs don't work with them anyway, so new bindings would be required along with the purchase of plates.
