Fritschi Freeride Problem

Magnus Fasting 1 March 2005 01:42:49
 Hi,

I bought a pair of skis with the fritschi freeride and got the bindings
store mounted.

After 3-4 days of skiing i noticed that I can "wiggle" the bindings a a
little laterally within the rear locking mechanism.

Is this normal, or are the bindings mounted wrong?

Regards,

Magnus Fasting

 I have diamir II's that I mounted myself. They don't wiggle and they don't
accidently release into tour mode if the ski flexes a lot.

Cheers

Dingus, say it ain't so... I didn't know that you dabbled in the dark
side of the force! You'll never get into Tele Heaven now!

FWIW, I also have Diamir II (mounted on Tua Excaliburs) and I've never
had a problem with them releasing into tour mode. Then again, I ski
lightly so I probably wouldn't be a stress case. I'm 200 lbs, size 11
foot and set my bindings on DIN 7. I don't huck big air.

_ I'm just guessing, but I suspect it's "normal". It really
depends what you mean by a "little", A centimeter is way too
much, but a few mm is par for the course with AT bindings.

_ Take a look at the lateral stiffness tests at

www.wildsnow.com

and see how your binding matches those.

Our ankle joints and lower legs muscles have lots of "give" and "elasticity"
anyway -- so it's not like a perfectly stiff binding would make the overall
system into rigid transmission of turning torques.

Good for you. My experience is that I ski significantly better and with more
fun in my Scarpa Lasers than my Scarpa F1 boots.

Yes, but I draw the line at my Scarpa Vegas (Or Invernos, depending on
which side of the border you sit). Lace-up mountaineering boots just don't
quite cut it, even though it is conventient to just wear them for ice
climbing, and the ski in/out. Definetely not a very confident descent,
though.

I didn't say it was as much fun, but for the most part stiff
boots[1] aren't "REQUIRED" to ski well, they just make it
easier. I can even make decent turns in my leather
mountaineering boots, just not as many or with much margin for
error.

Skiing in soft boots makes you a better skier. After all isn't
one of the most common drills out there skiing with your boots
unbuckled. I guess the point I was vaguely trying to make is that
while stiffness is nice in a boot or binding, it's not the only
thing to be looking at for AT gear or even one of the most
important.

[1]_ I would put Lasers in the "soft" category compared to pretty
much any alpine boot and a lot of AT boots these days.
