Binding question

[GrumpisPringle]

This might sound retarded but I want to know if it is okay to take bindings off a ski that has already been mounted and but the bindings back in. I say this because I have more pairs of skis than I do binders...

Any help? is this really bad?

My friend has done this but he tends to wreck all of his gear..

It's do-able but I would highly not suggest it. Everytime you take a pair of bindings off and then screw them back in later it's gonna damage the screw hole causing the binding to eventually rip out.

Buy more bindings bruh

Or look into quiver killers. They made them for this exact problem

I think he is trying to say that he wants to use the same pair of bindings between two pairs of skis. Quiver killers are for multiple bindings on the same ski. Unless he put them on both pairs of skis..

Quiver killers are used for one binding used on many skis

As long as you take them off an put them back in carefully they will be fine. I did it my first year in whistler. I had 3 sets of skis but only one set of bindings. I would swap the bindings the night before so the glue had chance to dry but it was absolutely fine. You could go inserts but that does damage resale value and if you strip one your really stuck a you can't just heli coil like you could a normal rip out. But that is my opinion on inserts.

So he would have to buy Quiver killers for 2 pairs of skis?

obviously

"Our initial product, the Quiver Killer Binding Insert, allows you to take your bindings on and off as often as you like. This gives the the flexibility of switching out your touring and alpine bindings on the same pair of skis, or share bindings between multiple pairs of skis."

Yes, you would need to buy multiple times the amount of inserts you would need for your bindings, and then the hardware to mount one set of bindings.

Personally I buy from Binding Freedom because they're run by SVST and the guy who invented them:
http://www.bindingfreedom.com/insert/

And Grumpis, if this looks like a viable solution then you can check with your ski shop to see if they can do the inserts and whether or not they have the tools. If they can't, then you could do them yourself if you feel capable of drilling and tapping into your ski. If you or your shop don't have the drill and tap, they can be bought off the website I linked up above.
