Ah, yes………now I understand!

I have two of those, both waxless and both in 200cm. I don’t use the E89 much – only on tours which are partially on machine-prepared loipe. The E99 is my favourite and most-used ski, by far. It has covered more than 1,000km in the pastures/forests of the Jura and the mountains of southern Norway. If I could keep only one ski it would be that one.

Bit of a mess at the moment, as both skis have just been base-prepped and not yet scraped. Fishscales masked with duct tape.

Oh yeah! Look at those Spooky Trees! I love it

So, lilcliffy, are your skis mounted yet?

@phoenix
No- haven't decided yet...
Currently trying on some Xplore boots- strongly considering it...

Not enough snow locally yet to really test the Rabb 68-
still trail skiing on mostly crappy snow-
late snow for the second season in a row here.

Snow coming today and more all week!

Lilcliffy, actually that was a bit of sarcastic humor on my part, with the extensive detour regarding the intricacies of risers and bindings. Since you bring it up though, we have but a dusting down here by the border, and no more than another dusting or two expected for the week. We'll just get it later on. Too bad for the areas that rely on the Christmas ski season to make it through, though.

Extensive detour?!!! The title of the thread is: “Rottefella 75mm with cable binding – riser or no riser?”, and the opening post reads:

With riser or not- that is the question.

And- if so- which riser?

The binding in question in the “extensive detour” is a Rottefella 75mm Cable binding and the risers discussed are the only three that this author is aware of which are currently available on the market for this binding.

There were indeed off-topic posts regarding boots, skis and templates, but the posts regarding the 75mm cable binding and the available risers are very definitely on topic. That one of said risers should prove incompatible with the binding, as I maintain it is, ought to be of relevance to anyone considering the second of the two questions posed in the original post.

I totally understand your interpretation Jurassien, and am not intending to come across as critical. There's a wealth of information added to the post, and yours, with the accompanying photos, has been most informative.
My post was simply some tongue-in-cheek humor, as to my simple old school self, the thread developed into such a highly technical and lengthy discourse.
Thus my simple question to lilcliffy, again, with my slightly warped sense of humor, to bring it back to basics. It's all good.

@phoenix Peace! Explanation accepted.

Knowing all this, why doesn't Rottefella make a riser that can allow the cable to attach to the heel piece? Seems a simple and logical product.

I am very pleased with my ST with cable mounted on the Voile 10 mm riser. Only a month and a half or so with the riser, but very pleased so far. I should have done it originally
