Noob Binding Mount Question/Concern

Alright, yes, this is a gaper ass question, but I really need to calm my mind right now.



I asked the shop to mount my Icelantic Keepers 2cm back from center.

This is how they look in comparison to my center mounted Blends.





Am I crazy or does this look like 2 inches back from center! Maybe the Keeper has a different "center" (BC) mounting point? Any advice or observations help, thanks.

Are the skis different lengths?

the best thing you can do is measure and mark your skis exactly were you want the mount
but obviously a tape measure a grease pencil and simple math is above your capabilities

The Blends are 180cm, the Keeper is 181. Whatever, I fucked up and I'll I can do is learn from it. Thanks guys!

I think what they did is put it 2cm back from the recommended line for the skis.

My guess is that they either mounted them 2 inches back or that theyre -2 from core center, not true center.

Are they different size skis???? or diff size bindings.

****This happened to me once and it really pissed me off because i couldnt have been more specific with the guy, ive mounted myself before but since they were brand new i wanted a shop to do it. and i went ot get em and they were like that inches off. so after telling him repeatedly he fuckd up i finally got him to take em back and remount them. but then they gotta fill the other holes and so on.. WHICH IS THE EXACT REASON I WENT TO A SHOP IN THE FRST PLACE LMFAOOOO

and yeah that is true. core center and true center are different. and if one ski is an INCH longer than the other they are not going to match up exactly so u cant really compare them to another ski... gotta work with the one ur mounting em on. and center it that way not compared to another ski an inch shorter
