On reçoit deux questions principales quand il s'agit de monter des fixations sur les skis:
On a décidé de s'attaquer au numéro 2 aujourd'hui, et on laissera le premier pour un autre jour (pour info, BD recommande d'utiliser une epoxy à deux composants à prise lente pour monter tes fixations).
Beaucoup de technicos du ski expérimentés ont leurs propres règles empiriques pour réutiliser des trous préexistants (ce qui n'est pas recommandé) ou pour déterminer à quelle distance forer. Du coup, on a fait appel à notre maestro du tele-charging et du QA Engineering, Andy Rosenberg, pour réaliser notre étude standard – pas hyper scientifique et basée sur un jeu de données limité – afin de voir quelles différences apparaissaient lorsqu'on forait et montait les vis à différentes distances des trous existants.
Comme d'habitude, ces données sont très limitées - il y a beaucoup plus à faire pour obtenir un aperçu plus concluant de la situation:
Cependant, compte tenu de ce test, il semble que tu veuilles rester à 7 mm ou plus afin d'obtenir une résistance maximale lors du perçage à proximité de trous déjà existants.
Voilà. Priez pour la neige.

Every climber has a few lines they dream about. Whether inspired or haunted—or sometimes both—these lines can push us beyond what we thought we were capable of, in turn teaching us who we really are. BD Ambassador Ethan Salvo recently restructured his entire life to focus on two climbs that pulled him into the void with only one way out … getting to the top. This is his story of sending Dreamcatcher and becoming the first Canadian to climb V16 in the same week.
