terekhov Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 hi fellow community, before this season just obtained lightly used and rare sf bindings, and had problems with them on the 1st day - pseudo-rubber between Alu base of bindings and board top is not sticking at all - in medium cold siberian -15C I can rotate binding manually (with enough force) even when tightly screwed. now I use 2sided sticky tape under them excellent crafstmanship on this bindings, puts f2 in amateur class regarding manufacturing, but..... this sucky problem( anyone have this problem? PS rotates easily on OES & oxess topshits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nextcarve Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Because it is a rare binding, I would mail SG for support: mail@sgsnowboards.com They should know best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Never used those, but Snopros can be slippery too. I used to wet mount them, to create suction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 topsheet I have SG binding but never to -15 degree C regularity. That's cold... once in a blue moon -1F or so (~-18c) but did not experience what you describe. Don't think the primary function of rubber gasket is there to prevent binding angle from changing? How many mounting screw thread engagement are you getting? 3+? On new binding the rubber gasket need to be really compress in order to engage the mounting thread. Under room temperature: can you move the binding angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Ah, and re-tighten outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Job Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 I have SG bindings, never had that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamifumi Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 I am on my 5th pair of SG binding from gen 1 to current gen and never had this issue even in -15 deg C weather. Are you able to tighten all the 4 bolts? You don’t have to do this but I always tighten my bolts to 2.8Nm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitro Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 On 1/3/2023 at 8:42 AM, terekhov said: PS rotates easily on OES & oxess topshits just a thought .. make sure your mounting bolts/screws are not bottoming out in the boards inserts, thin stainless washers may solve your problem.

terekhov Posted January 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 sorry for pause, I've done super-tight, and re-tighten them in the cold too. bolts don't bottom-out in inserts - checked in room by tightening single bolt and trying to rotate. in oxess there's rather shallow inserts, not so shallow in OES. gasket slides easily over topsheet even dislodged from binding and push-down-slided by hand with all my mass, contrary to rubbers from f2/proflex can use them with 2sided tape only( thinking about hand-crafting rubber pucks into bolt pits under plate.... and will write to support@, thank you for idea!
