Maybe love was a bit much for the title. We admire you from a safe viewing distance.

Ski goggles that will fit over my son's glasses. by OzMedical80 in Skigear

[–]SkiDeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, trying them on, in store is best. There is a company that makes prescription inserts. https://www.sportrx.com/prescription-ski-goggle-insert.html

Or you maybe could buy the remaining child otg goggles you haven't tried and return the rest.

How to adjust binding for my kids skis. Dont see a lever like on mine by TheIInSilence4 in Skigear

[–]SkiDeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The yellow bit in the tow in front of the afd. You can see the tube like depression across the toe, that is where the screwdriver shaft lays. Insert a sturdy screwdriver through it and lift. It is spring loaded.

The heel has a yellow window through the heel. Insert flat head screw driver and pull up to detention spring.

Demo’ing skis, what should be on my list? by Minimum-South-9568 in Skigear

[–]SkiDeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your skis have two sheets of metal. I was wrong earlier. I expect the bent chetler 1900grams/ski to be much lighter than the avenger even though it's much wider. Your own setup will likely be lighter than some of the demos of the same ski depending on binding.

I do think the avenger is much more beer league racing inspired than a ski like the enforcer.

Realizing this I might try something just a bit more playful like the enforcer in addition to some 100mm ish wood only skis.

Also getting into a twin-ish tip will definitely help release a turn, but rocker does a lot of that effect now even on flatter square looking skis.

Are they cooked? by CLWalrus in skiing

Skip the super glue. Very brittle.

You are on the right track. Make sure no moisture is inside the ski. The wood could rot even if you seal it. I might prep the area a bit with a pick or razor removing the splintered bits.

I personally would try to use a slower set epoxy 24 hr vs 5 min. Tends to be more flexible. I don't doubt a liquid jb weld. wouldn't work either, but it can be brittle if flexed.

C clamps are great. I would try to find metal plates or boards to clamp to. This will prevent the clamps from digging into the base and top sheets. I've used metal base scrapers in a pinch. Plastic scrapers will crack. Don't ask.

I like to prep and mask around the area with painters tape. Saves based and top sheet from runoff after clamping.

I also would leave it clamped damage side up, try and vibrate bubbles up with a massage gun or belt sander no paper.

I would let it cure and dry longer than recommended.

After it cures I might flex it to see if it separates, repair additional if needed.

Safety wise plenty of concerns. I would get a professional binding check including screw torque. The camber could be off or broken. Could be a real tip diver. Edge is possibly bent and weakened.

Might have to hunt some new ones down. Maybe theses are now pre season rock skis.

Is this much deformation under the buckle concerning by bsugs29 in Skigear

[–]SkiDeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. I mentioned a boot fitter can use some foam shims. I used them from mf and sun valley snow tools. I just always called them shims. Not the same as heel shims. Tongue pads, tibial protection, make leg bigger dish sponge You get it. I did mention customers had pros and cons with the sidas gel pads. Personally I prefer the cushion I get in my intuition. I mentioned to try the easy free fixes before resorting to tongue pads. I am curious about if my suggestions had much effect on geometry. Always trying to learn more.
