Question: would watchlifes + fks = unhappy?

[RedBaron882]

i remember reading a thread a while ago that fks are prone to rip out of softer core skis (such as the watchlife) and someone had a picture of a binding rip out. should i stay away from getting a pair and putting them on my skis. your thoughts, comments, advice people of surface land.

Your taking a risk when you mount fks on the watch life, I know people who have not had any problems and I know people who have. I ripped out my heel piece last season and just had my toe piece eject off my ski today. I would suggest looking at a different binding for them such as the jester/griffon, Look px series, basically anything with a wider hole pattern.

If your going to mount fks on them please heli coil them the first time this will help out a lot. I should have done it with mine just was to lazy/really wanted to go ski haha.

all right this is exactly what i was trying to find out.

i think the 09's have 'mounting points' so im guessing theres a plate to prevent this now?
