Anyone Mount HH on Revs????

grammicci14 · Posted: Sat Oct 06, 2007 3:56 am Post subject: Anyone Mount HH on Revs????

So I just mounted some HH on my Revs. I decided to mount the HH in relation to CC instead of using the Revs sticker. All went well BUT after looking at them next to another pair of skis with the very same length also with HH I saw that the Revs HH where mounted almost 4 cm furthur back than the other pair:shock:

So what I'm wondering is ...Title... and if so what did you use.. CC with the Template or the Template and the suggested sticker per G3.
And what do you think of your results?

I mounted HH's on my Revs according to G3's directions and the markings on the skis. Results have been great. My all-time favorite skis.

it's so hard to give a single answer to these kind of questions. I have revs with HH's mounted on them. Sticker....what sticker? Laughing

At this point, I feel like this: the ball of my foot is my center of effort... When you lay the ski down, it has contact points that touch on the tip and on the tail.

As a rule I center the ball of foot over the mid point of the skis tip and tail contact points. I think center of effort on the center of skis contact points.

**with skis under 80mm wide under foot, I might move the binding slightly forward since firm snow conditions lend themselves to quicker more aggressive turning. (being slightly forward helps this)

**with fatter skis, like the revs, I might move the binding back slightly (but I personally don't) for better floatation in soft conditions.

OTHERS MAY DO IT DIFFERENTLY, THIS IS JUST MY LOGIC AT WORK!!!

Somebody on this forum did a study of the G3 mounting decal and
determined that it would more or less result in .... BOF @ CSR.

Or maybe I have decided that "Life's a Campaign" and it
more important to "sound good than to be right" Wink

As always, it is wise to check any marks on a ski against
measured values. Ski marks and stickers and the like can be
placed incorrectly at the factory.

The mounting decal on the Reverend's topsheet gives great results. I would probably remount that pair without even skiing them first.

I mounted mine per the sticker, but i double checked by measuring first. No problems after 2 years.

Mounted mine with O1s, FWIW, on the sticker rec. and absolutely love them. Haven't had them at the resort yet, just powdah in the BC, and it's the best thing I've ever skied.

Being that I mounted them CC how far back should I remount ?? I do not have the decal anymore.

I Know check twice drill once. GRRRRRRR!

Call or email G3 (www.genuineguidegear.com) with your boot size (wait - NOT your boot size but the actual length of boot sole from pin holes to end of vibram heel) and size of Reverends, and they can give you a measurement to pin line. Or so could a shop that has new pairs in stock.

Again, the numbers on the mounting decal are in centimeters of boot SOLE length, not nominal boot size.

I mounted my Tickets Per G3 as follows-

Find and Mark the "Telemark" line-
it is roughly 6mm behind alpine touring line (the little white line by the serial number of the ski)

Measure from middle pinhole on boot to the heel and mark at 1/2 way (midsole)(call this X). (For example if your measurement is 20cm, you would want to mark at 10cm)

Now measure forward from telemark line (X) and that is your pinline.

When I mounted my bombers, I put the whole biding together, with baseplate and everything - inserted my boot and set it on the ski, lining up with the boot midsole mark with the telemark line and marked my holes that way.

Email G3 as they will probably give you better directions than I

GOod luck for an awesome setup!

I must live in a doppleganger universe with the evil Spock. I mount HH's on everything...and I always mount 2 cm forward. Of course I have a size 15-1/2 foot so....it always works out! Of course I usually mount after a 2-beer minimum and under really loud music conditions. Very Happy
