Loose pivot 14 toepieces/improper mount?

Hey guys,

I had my look pivot 14’s mounted on my faction candide 1.0’s in early January at my local shop. I’ve ripped 3 days of park(nothing crazy) and a day of groomers. After my ride last night I noticed that not only one but both of my toepieces can lift a couple mm of my ski. Is this an issue with the cores of the factions or did my shop make a stupid mistake on a very expensive pair of skis?

Thanks in advance for any help or insight anyone can offer!

This is a huge issue if your bindings are lifting off your skis take them back to the shop and have them tighten the screws or put helicoils in.

The only input you need is to take them to a shop. Sounds like they fucked up so go and ask them.

yeah keep riding on them i'd say, you just might blow up the bindings, fall on your head and maybe that'll knock some sense into you

I had some p18 toes mounted lose and the toe pad broke off before too long. Gotta get those screwed on tight.

Had exactly the same issue with pivot 14s mounted with quiver killers, just needed shorter screws. Take them back to the shop though.
