I took em in to my shop to get my new STH 14's mounted on my Armadas, and the manager who mounted em decided to fuck with me and cut off the bottom of a screw and put it on the bottom of my ski, waxed it so it looked like he accidentally drilled out of the bottom, and told me he messed up on accident. I wasn't happy. But i was wondering about placement and if theyre dead center. Friend thinks they look off, they look right?

90.5 is dead center, wearing 30.5 MP boot. Click for larger image

I measured from front of boot and back of boot to tip and tail respectively and they were the same. Right measuring?

Clip your boots in and then flip one ski the opposite direction, if the midsole on your boots/line where bindings are mounted matches up then they are centered.

If i read correctly, the shop never screwed up. The manager who mounted them just decided to joke with him and waxed a cut-off screw to the bottom of the ski so it looked like it went through.

Putting one ski on right and one on backwards works. Idk about tha new solomon bindings but you could put your boots into tha old ones backwards.
