Baller MI3Eventer Posted February 3, 2021 Baller Share Posted February 3, 2021 I need to rewrap a set of Wiley super jumps. I already have the wraps, but was looking to see if anyone had any tips or tricks before trying. The internet is definitely lacking some videos on this!

Baller BraceMaker Posted February 3, 2021 Baller Share Posted February 3, 2021 Get some longer screws like 2" long and plain non-acorn nuts Stick the long screws through the plate and stack up all the parts at the heel and at the back of the front overlays, you can use regular screws all around the front of the toe. The long screws let you get everything together and start drawing things down then you switch them for regular hardware while its clamped in a vice. Once everything is stacked use clamps or I usually use a bench vice to pull the horseshoe and plate down then with it clamped use a electric drill to run the long screws out then put the acorn nut in the hole all the way and start your new screw by hand and snug it up. Make sure when you clamp the horseshoe that the long screw doesn't angle off to the side under the tension in the overlays. Particularly on the double stuff and super jump this can be a bear and will pull the screw inwards. You can sort of pull outwards on the screw/plastic as you snug it up to get things straight. If the overlays aren't already punched you'll probably want to pick up a rotary hole punch so that your holes won't tear out. Don't use a drill. You can also heat up to burning a small nail and poke through but that smells terrible. https://www.amazon.com/Tandy-Leather-Economy-Rotary-3220-00/dp/B001685R6W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MI3Eventer Posted February 3, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted February 3, 2021 If anyone wants to make a video for youtube I'm sure it would get a ton (5-10) of hits! I'd try but there might be too much cursing to edit out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted February 3, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted February 3, 2021 or since its winter, you can send them back to Wiley's and they will rework them for a very reasonable price. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted February 3, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted February 3, 2021 I've used the aforementioned method with the long screws and non-acorn nuts to rebuild a few Wileys. That is the way to go. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted February 3, 2021 Baller Share Posted February 3, 2021 @MI3Eventer if you want to hear cursing as you're fighting to draw the overlay into position you knock over your tray of hardware and all the acorn nuts scatter off the work bench and around the floor. Then being stainless they are poorly magnetic so you crawl around looking for the missing ones. Finally you give up and you dig an old binding out of a closet and pirate the hardware. A year later someone is coming over who has a small foot and you go looking for that old small wiley plate to mount on a ski and you realize it is missing half its acorn nuts. So I should add - order up a bunch of spare hardware if you use Wileys. Which reminds me.... I need some more nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller klindy Posted February 3, 2021 Baller Share Posted February 3, 2021 +1 on returning them to Wileys. If you were in the store they'll rewrap them in less than an hour so there's a lot of black magic involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted February 4, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted February 4, 2021 Or Perfski if you’re in OTown. Lucky is also good at it. Doing it yourself ain’t fun in my book. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller JayShower Posted July 23, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2022 I just did one binding tonight and holy cow was that a pain in the ass. I gotta see how they assemble these at Wiley’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BKistler Posted July 23, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2022 You can extend the life of the wrap by coating the stress point with Shoe Goo. I did that this year on my Trick Wrap and it’s working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
