i just bought a new pair of obrien bindings for my older O'brien TRC. The hole patterns don't match and i was wanting to fill the old holes in? Should i worry about that and if so what should i use?
thanks |

I filled the old holes on my G3 with epoxy and drilled new ones to mount my Wileys binding. No issues in the last 3 years.

If the old holes are the factory ones with threaded inserts, there is no need to fill those in they should be sealed with epoxy.

they were factory....but didn't look like they had threaded inserts. Just look like that had been drilled.
this is a lat eightes to early ninties O'brien TRC(black/gold). With new boots it looks great. I haven't found a ski that I have been on that I like any better than it as of yet. Let me rephrase that....i haven't found a ski that I like for a price i was willing to spend. I called Barts and they said a ski comparable to that would be the o'brien siaxm or another brand with a ski of the siaxm calibur. |

Where did you get your Bindings?
My O'brien could use some new rubber. |

ok.....the ski is a different ski and not for the good.
Could i have changed the center of gravity or some physics stuff like that. I had a hard time getting the ski on edge and keeping it their today and it just overall felt like a completely different ski. I skied my best set last week and today was like I was set back a year! any suggestions |
