| curious about the nis used w carbonlites and the s lab |
i can get a decent buy on the skis but they are nis and im curious about the effectiveness of a thin carbon plate used to take up the gap. i also heard that s labs arent warrantied under these circumstances but the whole thing sounds confusing? |

You sound confused. NIS is NNN, while S Labs are Salomon Pilot. Both work very well but are noncompatible. I'd start with boots that fit and let those determine the binding system.

To affix a Salomon binding to an NIS ski, the binding is simply drilled/mounted to the top of the ski as if the NIS plate is not there. As long as the binding is properly mounted, and of the correct type, I don't know why there would be any kind of warranty issue w. the Slab boots. Eric |

I've heard you can mount over the top, but I have heard how well it works or if it looks like hell. If there's a warranty issue, it seem political. Jay |

A binding plate normally stiffens a ski, and that's why the NIS comes attached as opposed to being an option. If that's accounted for by keeping the plate, the question would be whether a Profil/Pilot boot interacts with it differently than an NNN one, per design, tho I can't imagine why. The other question is whether or not the NIS plate still adjusts, which is the point of it. rm "Eric N." <enevala@gmail.com > wrote: > On Apr 15, 4:58 pm, "SpokaneDiscount,,no s...@gmail.com" > <SpokaneDisco...@gmail.com> wrote: > > i can get a decent buy on the skis but they are nis and im curious > > about the effectiveness of a thin carbon plate used to take up the > > gap. i also heard that s labs arent warrantied under these > > circumstances but the whole thing sounds confusing? > > To affix a Salomon binding to an NIS ski, the binding is simply > drilled/mounted to the top of the ski > as if the NIS plate is not there.

In the March 27, 2008 Ski Post article, Andrew Gerlach mentions an 'interface plate' that can be used when mounting SNS bindings to NIS skis. Perhaps this is what the original poster was asking about? Here is what the Ski Post article had to say: "4) SNS / NIS compatibility All SNS bindings can be mounted on skis with NIS plate. The interface plate that Salomon provides its retailers is highly recommended for Pilot Equipe classic binding, and recommended for all other SNS binding in order to avoid mounting issue in the case of too strong screwing that can create a distortion of the binding chassis. Nevertheless if the screwing is done normally it is not mandatory to use the interface except for the pilot Equipe classic that needs to be mounted according to the international norm on a flat surface." -- Paul Haltvick Bay Design and Build - LLC Engineering, Construction and Information Technology Services FSx Midwest - Fischer / Swix Racing "Eric N." <enevala@gmail.com > wrote in message news:b0e1727b-7a03-49eb-9595-2a5f895ef1d0@b5g2000pri.googlegroups.com... > On Apr 15, 4:58 pm, "SpokaneDiscount,,no s...@gmail.com" > <SpokaneDisco...@gmail.com> wrote: > > i can get a decent buy on the skis but they are nis and im curious > > about the effectiveness of a thin carbon plate used to take up the > > gap. i also heard that s labs arent warrantied under these > > circumstances but the whole thing sounds confusing? > > To affix a Salomon binding to an NIS ski, the binding is simply > drilled/mounted to the top of the ski > as if the NIS plate is not there.
