Does 1mm offset left/right on ski binding mount affect it much?

cydwhitJust echoing what Twig said. They fucked up, they owe you, and, more importantly, it seems like something if off on one of their jigs, so they should probably look into that before they mount any other folks skis. This sucks, I'm sorry.

BUT, from a skiing perspective, you won't notice a thing. I've had a roommate ski with skis that were almost a full cm off of center laterally, no problem. I've seen people who's whole job was reviewing skis, not notice that one of their skis was mounted two cm back from recommended. The human body compensates for small inconsistencies pretty seamlessly, you'll still be able to enjoy your sick skis.

okay yea that’s really good to hear. i will try to get some form of compensation cause these were the last buttersticks in stock too. so just even more annoying that they fucked up but yea.

C.R.E.A.MWhen someone rolls in with gold pivots and on3ps the tech should put the bong down for a second and realize the owner of these skis probably gives a fuck. Letting it slide is just perpetuating the problem.

I was gonna say exactly this, this is probably one of the best and most expensive set of skis I’ve probably ever seen, if someone handed me butter sticks and gold pivots I’d literally shit my pants in fear of fucking up the mount lmfao

after i got the mount, i found out no one in the shop has ever heard of on3p :/

they aren’t claiming responsibility either and honestly istg it’s so fucking annoying. thinking about filing small claims but idk if that’d do anything. will talk to them tomorrow, but rn what the shop seems to be offering is a $50 refund for the mount, which is bullshit, or they want to give me $900 and take the skis. both are bullshit cause these were the last pair of buttersticks 110-176cm so i cant even get a new pair if they pay me $900. it’s actually so fucking stupid im so mad.

the people there seem all willy nilly "idgaf imma mount them as fast as possible without caring too much” attitude and yea. so bs

EvanMeyer100% noticeably off center im not in the business of giving a mom and pop ski shop shit but for them to act as if nothing is wrong with that mount is unacceptable. In this day and age its hard for these small shops to stay afloat and i do understand that $1000 to replace a ski they mounted incorrectly will actually hurt their numbers this season, but writing it off as a "not our problem not a performance issue" is also not right either they should be more willing to work with you whether it may not be a replacement but maybe even just an in store credit? im not one to try to sound like a karen in my 30s now but if they can notice and see that they made a mistake they should offer some sort of compensation for it atleast imo.

agreed. i teched at a locally owned shop for 4 years and messed up 2 mounts but we completely covered both of the times that happened, totally unacceptable and honestly shitty of a shop to just say "nothing will happen"

OP you need to keep *politely* insisting that they refund you for the skis. mounting skis is stupid easy and the fact that they messed up means that their tech was either wasted or a complete idiot. it doesn't matter if the bindings are still safe or not, they're mounted incorrectly and they owe you a new ski for fucking itup

yea they fucked up the skis and i’m extremely mad. it just sucks they aren’t taking responsibility

i would take them elsewhere and just mount like 1cm back of the original holes
