Baller disland Posted July 19, 2010 Baller Share Posted July 19, 2010 Just mounted some wileys on a goode 9900. I mounted the binders to the plate and then did the velcro dual lock thing to attach the plate to the ski With the G-10 plate plus the binders the ski seems heavy. I could mount the wileys directly to the G-10 plate and eliminate the aluminum binder plate, but that is a big project to take the binders apart drill all the holes in the plate and mount directly to the G-10 plate. Has anyone tested in both configurations? Did it make a difference?

jdarwin Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Dave - get Mike to put the Wiley's directly on the G-10 plate for you. He's done dozens of those. But, it will still be a bit "heavy" - Wiley's always are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef23 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Why not just fully dual lock the bindings to the ski? Can you get enough dual lock on them so they don't come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller disland Posted July 20, 2010 Author Baller Share Posted July 20, 2010 Chef, Good question. 2 answers. 1. Mounted up the Goode for a test drive. Not sure its a keeper yet. Test drive tomorrow.2. To put the dual lock on the wiley I would have to strip off the nice rubber backing on the plate and once I put the dual lock on I am stuck with it. Has anyone tried the configuration proposed by Chef? Joe I will call Mike and see what he can turn around for me on short notice.

Baller tjm Posted July 21, 2010 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2010 Goode's rubber bindings are the same as Wileys, and Goode sends them out on a plate already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted July 26, 2010 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2010 My experience has been that weight directly under your feet doesn't make the ski feel any heavier in the course.I theorize that weight itself doesn't really mean much -- the water is fully supporting that. What matters is angular moment (what a lot of folks like to call "swing weight") because that effects how much energy is require to turn the ski. Weight under your feet causes negligible change in angular moment.I have no proof of this theory, of course -- but it sounds sensible and seems to match my experience.
