Hey schmies, i know your the graffix man and all...but what are your thoughs about helicoiling bindings for PE's...I have had some huge binding retention problems...at first i though it was because i used to0 wide of a drill bit while mounting, but I keep ripping out heel pieces...i have been recommending people to use a narrower drill bit, but i think that premptive helicoiling may be helpful...this has not happened on my 06's yet...but my 05's went through four remounts which resulted in a weakened ski, whcih broke in half last sunday at Mammoth (no big deal they had nearly 120 days on em) ... fortunately i'll just annoy john or mike for another pair...but I do a lot of mounting for friends and for demos and would hate to have another binding failure...another thought was that the Marker's we use have their heel screws verr close together which allows for much more ski flex under the heel piece....
i dunno...just getting techy on a boring tuesday in Tahoe...
