How to install bindings on classic roller skis. How to install bindings on roller skis

Roller skis are roller skis. By analogy with roller skates, they are intended for skating on asphalt, for summer training of skiers, and for competitions. Among fans of roller skiing there are both beginner amateurs and professional athletes.

Marking

Some models of roller skis are sold already marked for installation of bindings. Typically they contain two sets of screw marks. The first is for large size shoes (more than 40), the second is for small shoes (size less than 40). It is better to install fasteners using a special template to ensure maximum accuracy.

Fastening

For fastening, use the self-tapping screws included with the fasteners. Although they are difficult to twist, they hold securely and firmly. Before screwing in, the screws can be moistened with machine oil to reduce the force applied to the screwdriver. Unlike skis, drilling holes in rollerblades must be done with the utmost care. While an erroneous hole in skis can be sealed with a plug, this cannot be done on roller skates. To drive screws, you can use screwdrivers with PH 3 or PZ 3 bits.

Many athletes use alternative method screwing fasteners using countersunk head screws type M4x25. The screwing points are marked with a stencil, the lower part is drilled out for steel hollow T-shaped pistons. The pistons are inserted from below and countersunk screws are screwed into them. Unlike self-tapping screws, although this method is more labor-intensive, it is much more accurate and reliable when using rollers intensively. This option is also ideal for those who have already unsuccessfully drilled holes for self-tapping screws.

Frame

The frame transmits force from the leg to the wheels. The main characteristics of the frame are length, rigidity and weight. The longer the frame, the more stable the rollerski stays on course when rolling, but at the same time controllability decreases. Long frames also dampen vibration better. As a rule, skate roller skis have a frame length of about 60-65 cm, and classic roller skis have a frame length of more than 70 cm. Frame length or wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheel axles) also affects control and balance. The longer the base, the more linear the movement, therefore it is easier to maintain balance and vibrations are dampened more. The frame can be rigid and flexible.
Flexible frames are calculated in such a way that when pushing and rolling, they correspond as closely as possible to the operation of a real ski. These roller skis are designed for training in skiing technique. An additional property of the flexible frame is the ability to dampen wheel vibrations well, so riding on such roller skates is most comfortable and they are suitable for long-term training. But flexible frames are less reliable. When choosing roller skis with a flexible frame, it is necessary to take into account that, unlike skis, the rigidity of all roller skis is calculated for a certain average skier weight corresponding to 60-70 kg. A skier with a lot of weight can push through or break such a frame. If the frame is made of plastic or composite material, when the frame comes into contact with asphalt, nicks and scratches will appear, which over time can lead to failure.
Rigid frame is the exact opposite of flexible. Made of aluminum alloy, these frames have almost absolute reliability; a rigid frame has better control, but at the same time, the athlete’s foot is subjected to greater vibration loads during movement. Rigid frames are used in racing and high-speed roller ski models.

Wheels

Wheels are one of the key components of roller skis. Two types of materials are used to make wheels: polyurethane and rubber.

Rubber has good elasticity, which ensures riding comfort, as it effectively reduces vibration and vibrations transmitted from road unevenness. Rubber wheels have good grip asphalt pavement, but at the same time they can significantly reduce the speed of movement. Therefore, it is better to use rubber wheels on roller skis for classic skiing. When installed on skate skates, rubber wheels can become too sideways when pushed too hard, causing unnatural deceleration and sometimes damage to the wheels. High wear of rubber during skating also limits its use.

Polyurethane wheels, as a rule, have greater rigidity than rubber ones. Polyurethane wheels react more sensitively to lateral impacts and are less susceptible to wear. Good quality polyurethane guarantees excellent handling and grip on asphalt.

Bearings

The online store website presents bindings for roller skis in two price segments:

• Shamov products, which we consider the best offer for children and beginner athletes. For a relatively low price we offer functional devices of decent quality.
• The premium segment of the catalog is represented by fasteners from the world's leading manufacturers.

We offer two types of mounts: NNN and SNS. Outwardly they are similar in design, but the boots do not fit each other. A separate type, SNS Pilot, has a fundamentally different flexor system.

How to choose mounts

Question answer

• What bindings are used on roller skis?
• There are three types of fastenings: classic, ridge and combined. The latter are considered universal - they are equally suitable for classic and skating.

• Is it possible to install ski bindings on roller skis?
• Yes, technically it is possible. But it should be remembered that mounts designed specifically for roller skis are designed for increased loads on the attachment points to the roller skis and on the bolts that secure the boots. Falling on asphalt is more dangerous than falling on snow, so safety requirements are higher.

• How to install fasteners?
• We advise you to order installation at the company’s service workshop website. They will install everything correctly for you and adjust the poles to your height.

• How do Russian ones differ from imported ones?
• Budget Russian bindings are universal and suitable for both skating and classic skating. The use of such fastenings is allowed on entry levels skill. Imported ones are divided into classic and skating ones. Their working mechanics are different, because each style requires a corresponding trajectory of movement of the mechanism elements. The fixation of boots in imported bindings is better. Suitable for professional athletes.

• What is the difference between special roller ski bindings?
• Roller ski bindings are more firmly attached, have a reinforced design and ensure that the boot is fixed in a given trajectory of movement.
