Popular uses for Binding Freedom inserts include… Binding Freedom will increase shop labor, create a buzz and, give your customers more options. Also new for this year are screws with a Pozi drive head and better shapes for interfacing with a binding. There are also more tools to support easier installs. These newer inserts feature a slotted top with a specific insert installation tool speeding up the install process. The inserts are stainless steel and sealed, increasing the strength of the mount, protecting the core of the ski from moisture and allowing your customers more choices. Pics below not mine as not near my skis at the moment but they show the heel plate and screw I adjusted to move the heel to my BSL and hopefully not allow any heel movement.Replacing quiver killer from last year, Binding Freedom is your go to for customers wanting the most flexibility out of their set ups. There really is less holding the heel in place than I would've thought just the spirals in the heel plate and the heel On marker jesters the heel slides back off the base plate easily until a few screws to adjust the boot length. Have a question though someone here can probably answer, Do I need to adjust the heel to my BSL each time I change the skis right? Assuming so if I measure by using my boot by sight til it clicks in and out I could perhaps be a mm out but still locking the boot so it's good to ski on or I should be really precise with this and measure to the mm? I will buy some replacement screws and vibra tite from your site though I got my skis QK a few weeks back, couldn't get upto nottingham in the end sorry Jon. The solution described to use vc3, and let it dry, will effectively give the interference required to prevent the parts moving under normal service load but still work within the maximum bolt torque the structure can realistically support. It will in all probability strip out the mounting prior to reaching that level, hence the need to use a supplementary solution to obtain a fixture that won't vibrate loose. In this application it's unlikely to meet the torque required to do that. The conflict this brings effectively locks a bolt into a thread within the elasticity of the materials, and won't reverse out in use. The "hole" will compress and shorten it's thread pitch. To illuminate by delving a little deeper into how the threads would lock, a steel screw/bolt in a metal threaded bore has to reach a torque level that distorts the threads by stretching and compression of the opposing components to make it secure.īasically, as you tighten the bolt sufficiently to achieve this the bolt is stretched and will elongate the thread pitch. So I will definitely carry on using the Quiver Killers even if I do need to tighten them up frequently. Also the inserts are fully sealed with epoxy glue into the skis and so you do not get the water damage around the fixings for the bindings that I have found with conventional screws. The inserts are really useful because of the ability to swap bindings and easier packing for travel. Would allen screws be better than posidriv? Should I tighten them harder and is there a recommended torque for this? Or should I try a different thread locking fluid? Checking them when I get back from skiing is a bad idea because the skis are wet and the posidrive slots may be clogged with ice, with the likely graunching of the slots when I try to tighten them. It means I have to spend five minutes checking and adjusting all our skis every other morning. Using fresh Vibra-Tite on each screw and tightening it hard I still find the odd screw loose after a couple of days. I am using the recommended thread locking liquid, Vibra-Tite, and tightening the screws using a standard Posidriv screwdriver. I have been using Quiver Killer inserts for a while, but I find that I have to keep tightening the screws every other day or so.

It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either). When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company). as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc.
