okay, here it goes.
i can get the 06 thruster for 500 with s810 bindings. Heres the clincher, i hate those bindings, and the shop wont let me pay extra to substitue for a different binding. so, i plan to also buy some look p10 bindings, and sell off the s810..now, ive never seen any binding except for salomon mounted on salomon skis??? is there a reason for this...is this a good idea...

any constructive feedback would be nice...

Thanks

you can mount any binding on any skis (with exception of a few). The reason you may see salomon skis with salomon bindings is because of warrenty issues, you get two years for the skis and 5 years for the bindings. Also shops may sell then in packages together for simplicity. Or people may just use a salomon bindings just because they have salomon skis.

But your shop should switch the binding for you or allow you to upgrade.

i dont know about salomn but with rossignol if you buy just skis the wareenty on them is 2 yrs or just bindings is 3 yrs. but if you mount rossi bindings with rossi skis the warrenty becomes 5 yrs on both which makes it worth getting both. idk if those yrs are exacly right but i know its something like that.

I'd just live with the 810's because mounting them twice is a bad idea. It's too bad that look and Salomon use different mounting hole patterns.

try to find a shop that will let you swap the bindings to begin with instead of taking a loss yourself.

You are paying waayy too much for a skis and bindings setup. First of all, the solly 8-10 bindings could quite possibly be the worst bindings to be used for freeskiing. They prerelease like there is no tommorow. Secondly, 500 bucks is a lot for a full setup, you can probably find cheaper and better deals on getboards or ebay.

DUDE! HELLZ NO! the warranty on almost any ski alone is 1 year by the manufacturer. Rossignol bindings are waranteed for 5 years. Just like almost every binding. However when you mount a rossignol binding on a rossignol ski, your warranty on your skis jumps to 2 years.

yes that is correct, but if you use a salomon binding the skis will have a 2 year warrenty and the bindings will have have a 5 year warrenty.
