How to mount and adjust the P1 Binding system

[@stephenjordanesk8]

Another awesome vid, you guys are great, I don't even own a propel yet but your guys attention to detail, constant improvements, and customer feedback is top notch!

We appreciate the feedback bud. Hows the weather back home in RI?

Much appreciated Russ!! Following along now. Cheers

Everything came out perfect, thank you! Looks clean and rides clean.

I would recommend that you provide torque specs for those bolts going into the board. At a minimum it should be done by hand rather than with a screw gun.

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

They just hold the deck onto the battery enclosure and there are 12, no real need to torque.

[@fortystories7748]

@@propelvirtualgarage963 I disagree. What happens if I torque these to 55nm vs 8nm. If these are 8mm 8.8 grade bolts a 30nm rating would be normal. You went to the trouble to make a video so the engineering team should put the effort in to provide you a torque spec.

[@fortystories7748]

For anyone else who is interested. I would recommend 3nm for the deck bolts.

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

@@fortystories7748 If you torque to 55nm, you will snap the screws. Nothing on the board is torqued to over 12nm and we dont have a torque spec for the deck bolts as they are not mechanical. The deck is more like a cover for the battery box. No flex and it sits on a unibody chassis.

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

@@fortystories7748 3nm is fine

[@phrostbyte8260]

Came here looking to see if these would work on my X4S, but now im excited since you said specific ones are coming for it. Hope they release on time for next Spring season. Also was wondering how we switch our X4S into 2WD or 4WD mode from AWD since it says it can do that, haven't found any information on that.

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

Will be out before then ;)

Hi Russ, does this tutorial also applies for de Propel Endeavor S ?? And how can I remove de wood board ?? Gheers from Mexico !!

[@viviansong8479]

very good video~

[@mathieurobillard4827]

Hi Russ, does those work on the new ENDEAVOR2 GT ? It's my dream to get one and I will for sure one day! Thank you for the video. Cheers from Canada!

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

Yes sir, we sell Binding systems for all Endeavors and X4s

[@Catamount19]

If you buy a endeavor 2 pro and buy the bindings, can you request to have them already installed?

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

No, for 2 reasons. 1. The packaging is very shape specific 2. The boards are sent to distribution points and dispatched from there. Adding bindings would require stocking 2 models instead of 1.

[@jacobevans18]

You can buy a used Pro 1 bindings installed

[@alastairminty]

Thanks Russ, would you recommend blue threadlock on the little side locking screws?

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

I wouldnt personally and they dont at the factory and they love their loctite so Im going to say no.

[@jacobevans18]

yes, blue LT (medium) and do not overtighten, screws are steel, frame is aluminum you can absolutely strip the frame.

[@kizzorama]

Hey, thanks. Got a link to where I can buy these? Website says it's being upgraded.

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

The site has been glitchy the last few days but they are listed under endeavor parts www.ridepropel.com/product/propelev-p1-binding-system/

[@noahdaniels2887]

I have the endeavor s, do I have to drill holes into the board to mount the plates or are there any screws under the grip tape to go into?

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

Endeavor Bindings use the deck mounting screws. The video shows it all, no drilling. Video below shows where the holes are kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYLLaaCoq8-LrLs

[@noahdaniels2887]

@@propelvirtualgarage963 ok thank but I still mean the non carbon deck. Will the maple comp deck work for the bindings sold for the board. If there are holes under the grip tape please let me know but both videos have been on the carbon deck which the bindings aren't even listed under.

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

@@noahdaniels2887 yes, both decks use the same shape, contour and mounting holes

[@noahdaniels2887]

@@propelvirtualgarage963 would u be able to do a video on the maple deck bindings? I don't wanna make any extreme changes on a new board but would like a front hand grip.

[@robertgagnon1122]

How do you install them on a x4s

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

The x4s comes with a different mounting plate than Endeavor but same mechanics, we use the existing deck bolts, no drilling that beautiful CF deck

[@robertgagnon1122]

Just curious are you going to make a video on how to do it because the bindings didn’t come with any instructions an I am at a lost I see you have them on yours

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

@@robertgagnon1122 Probably not as its the same as Endeavor. With X4s, the plate isnt contoured so you get each bolt started and tighten them evenly and it sucks the plate down and contours it. Find me on FB if you have a problem (J. Russell Thetonia) (Its just faster, I dont check in here too often)

Hey Russ got a question for you about my endeavor 2 pro. How do I contact you? I live in Tampa

Send me your #. I'll shoot you a text and then we can chat [e-mail]

[@AlexKnappy]

Hi Russ! Having some trouble with the binding and hope you can help. When affixing the binding for a regular stance, the left front strap (the non-ratchet side), does not grab the strap, effectively rendering the binding useless as any amount of force causes the band to slip out. I've recorded a brief 30 second video showing what I am experiencing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHWwlHV6id2beZI As evidenced in the video, I've got the tab flipped in both a down and up position with little to no difference in the hold. Please can you help me know if I'm doing something wrong, or if perhaps I've a defective binding?

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

You have to fold up that locking clip. Seems like it doesnt want to go but keep pushing and it'll flip over to the locked position. Its not you, that clip is purposely tight, deceiving, but it does flip

[@AlexKnappy]

@@propelvirtualgarage963 oh thanks! So it should be pointing straight up when it's in the locked position, correct? Nevermind! I got to flip! This is a big relief, thank you!
