Bent Base Plate
I took a fall today ripping my binding off the board, wrecking the threads on the inserts and bending my baseplate a little. I fixed the threads with a tap, andmy base plate is only slightly bent. Its for an '07 Ronix Frontier boot. its not bad enough to send in (in my opinion) , Im thinking I can just bend it back myself, anyone ever done this?

damn bro, that must have been a pretty bad fall, i would just send it in, that way it should be covered under warranty and it wouldnt be tampered with, you never know what can void a warranty these days haha.

Everytime I have ever seen damage like that it was because the hardware wasn't tight. Just sayin..
|
Dan is speaking the truth, gotta tighten those bolt before ever run.
When Obrien bindings used have Aluminum base plates I would do this all the time, just bend it back as best your can and you should be fine. |
it was definitley because the screws werent tight! we couldnt find the screwdriver, so i tightened them with the boat key, dont ever do that! I just put the plate in the vice and gave her hell, it is only slightly bent
