Misprinted sidewalls??

took my griffons off my skis because they broke blah blah blah

anyways my shop originally mounted one ski upside down. no big deal they are symmetrical skis its fine but when i put them side by side i could see one set of holes was ahead of the other set by just about a inch. So still remembering they were mounted upside down i flipped the one ski and looked at the side wall marking, the holes were drilled according to the mounting points on the sidewall but one point was set ahead of the other no matter what way i had the ski.

i have been skiing on it all this time with no problem and haven't noticed it but im wondering now if anyone else has this problem and if there is anything i could do

Measure your skis, always always always. I've seen skis with so much slop in the mount points its scary. Always be in doubt, measure yourself unless you have undying faith in the manufacturer.

Because their shit isn't printed on. Every ski is measured and stamped. Now go sleaze on some 12 year old pink names beater.

even if its stamped it could still be off. Its takes 2 seconds to measure it and it gives you piece of mind that you got it right.

your an idiot. You know ginko owns a ski company right? If even he is saying to measure your skis then I suggest you take that advice. Never trust something that could have been rushed or sloppily done. Do it your self, do it right.

Sorry I had no idea. What he does. I just know that sometimes when I buy an ON3P ski or 6(Yes six) Ginko is one of the people that I see when I pick it up.

Thanks for spitting some knowledge on my dumb ass.
