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. ------------- |

Good point. My G3 didnt have threaded inserts from the factory. ------------- |

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. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique 1966 Barracuda |

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 |
