I need the hive mind to help me figure this out. What effect would Risers and skiboards have on release binding life span? Would it increase, decrease, or make no difference?
I recently had a pair of very old salomon 610s break on me on my Risers. Now I blame no one, these were far too old, and no longer indemnified bindings. I would set those bindings DINs maxed to 10 when I'm supposed to be an 8, which is what i set my other skis to.
I've work on hundreds, maybe even thousands of ski bindings at work, and anecdotally among my colleagues and skiers notice that any binding ridden more aggressively wears down and fails quicker/ For example heavily ridden race or park ski bindings, which often fail tests after just a few years, while bindings mainly ridden cruising powder last years.
Anyone who uses both skis and skiboards know that skiboards rattle, or move side to side more than skis, which would create more vibrations thru to the binding components, springs and mechanisms. The Risers don't flex like a normal ski would, I'm not sure if that would create less or more vibrations, and the risers themselves allow the skiboards to flex more which could reduce vibrations? This is what I'm having a hard time figuring out.
What do you think, would our set up tend to increase or decrease release binding life span?
