Pimp My Snowshoes

Last year I bought a pair of Atlas 825 Snowshoes after trying an older version of the shoe. I enjoy hiking with these snowshoes but I'm having frustration with the bindings. On each shoe are two rivets that fasten the binding to the frame. Last year a rivet popped off and it took the store three weeks to send the shoe back to Atlas for repair. This is very annoying since three weeks is a long time in a short snowshoeing season. Recently two more rivets popped off and so I accepted my brother's offer to drill holes and fasten the bindings with bolts. This will surely void the warrenty from Atlas, but this will save me from having to lose them again for a lengthy repair.
