Have a question though someone here can probably answer, Do I need to adjust the heel to my BSL each time I change the skis right? Assuming so if I measure by using my boot by sight til it clicks in and out I could perhaps be a mm out but still locking the boot so it's good to ski on or I should be really precise with this and measure to the mm? I will buy some replacement screws and vibra tite from your site though I got my skis QK a few weeks back, couldn't get upto nottingham in the end sorry Jon. The solution described to use vc3, and let it dry, will effectively give the interference required to prevent the parts moving under normal service load but still work within the maximum bolt torque the structure can realistically support. It will in all probability strip out the mounting prior to reaching that level, hence the need to use a supplementary solution to obtain a fixture that won't vibrate loose. In this application it's unlikely to meet the torque required to do that. The conflict this brings effectively locks a bolt into a thread within the elasticity of the materials, and won't reverse out in use. The "hole" will compress and shorten it's thread pitch. To illuminate by delving a little deeper into how the threads would lock, a steel screw/bolt in a metal threaded bore has to reach a torque level that distorts the threads by stretching and compression of the opposing components to make it secure.īasically, as you tighten the bolt sufficiently to achieve this the bolt is stretched and will elongate the thread pitch. So I will definitely carry on using the Quiver Killers even if I do need to tighten them up frequently. Also the inserts are fully sealed with epoxy glue into the skis and so you do not get the water damage around the fixings for the bindings that I have found with conventional screws. The inserts are really useful because of the ability to swap bindings and easier packing for travel. Would allen screws be better than posidriv? Should I tighten them harder and is there a recommended torque for this? Or should I try a different thread locking fluid? Checking them when I get back from skiing is a bad idea because the skis are wet and the posidrive slots may be clogged with ice, with the likely graunching of the slots when I try to tighten them. It means I have to spend five minutes checking and adjusting all our skis every other morning. Using fresh Vibra-Tite on each screw and tightening it hard I still find the odd screw loose after a couple of days. I am using the recommended thread locking liquid, Vibra-Tite, and tightening the screws using a standard Posidriv screwdriver. I have been using Quiver Killer inserts for a while, but I find that I have to keep tightening the screws every other day or so.
