Dynafit shim install in Seattle? How much ramp?

Anyone have recommendations for a Seattle shop that can (reliably) install toe plate shims for a new Radical ST mount? It looks like there are several DIY options you can order (B&D, etc.) but I'd rather just have a knowledgeable shop take care of it.

For folks who shimmed Radicals, how many millimeters did you add to the toe? I prefer pretty neutral, i.e. my downhill setup. I'm a 306 bsl.

I'm no fan of the ramp angle and intend to do this new pair right.

I had a shim installed on Vertical STs at ProSki on Aurora. It was a few years back and it was a Voile shim; not sure about the height. I would give them a call.

I just put 3.2 mm shims under my already installed Radical Speeds on my Karhu Guides; used shim and screws from B&D, no muss, no fuss.

I had the same shims installed under the toe piece of my Radical Speeds when they were mounted on my Cho Oyus; cripplecreebc.com researched it thoroughly and consulted with Lou Dawson (Wildsnow.com) before they did it.

After I have used the above several times (and liked the setups), I'll put shims under my Radical STs on my Stokes even tho that means remounting the toe piece in the inserts again.  That would be more complicated and I might well use the carpet tape discussed on wildsnow.com between the shim that plate for the toe piece. If I do that, I'll try to get screws with the same thread pitch as the Dynafits, probably from bindingfreedom.com.

If you are really concerned about getting just the right height in the shims, I would suggest Jim Mates Custom Boot Service in Seattle to look at you, your boots, the bindings, and skis; I've heard he has been prescribing shims in addition to doing custom liners (he did mine) and boot mods.

If you put a toe plate shim under the toe piece to reduce the angle is that because the present angle causes too much forward pressure or just doesn't feel right compared to other bindings. I know that when I used to ski Fritchi's they felt very flat and I put a shim under the heel plate to get some angle which worked well, just curious about the dynafit thing as I haven't noticed anything odd about the definite angle they have when locked in ski mode.

I'm currently having B&D shims mounted by Pro-Ski & Guiding in North Bend.

B&D is very knowledgeable and helpful. The shims are binding-specific and are designed to not interfere with with ski crampons.

Wild Snow has at least one good thread on this subject.

I second the recommendation for Jim Mates at Custom Boot Service. He'll advise a shim height based on your stance, boot, binding, etc.

Avoid using shop-improvised shims that will obstruct use of your ski crampons, especially with Dynafit.
