Center mounted

[JaphyRyder]

I have 166 '06 salomon foils and the bindings are mounted maybe 3-4 inches back from center (at the "suggested mounting point"). I ski about 70% park and 30% all mtn. on the east coast. Is it worth it to get them mounted true center? Why or why not?

 

[feezy]

get em at core center.

and yes.

it made a huge difference on my PEs, and they were mounted in between the suggested and the core center.

its like a different ski.

 

[Grimace.]

if your park is decent than jea core center would be good, or mabye a little back.

 

[JaphyRyder]

does core center just mean true center?

 

[EClay46]

center is worth it, it makes rails and spinning much easier and allmountain isnt that bad once u get used to it

 

[JaphyRyder]

maybe like an inch or 2 back from core would be best?

i would mount them true center

i never get to ski powder anyways

 

[Ryanvdonk]

that would be terrible, go core, basically find the balance point in the ski, and that's where you should be.

aight not to steal your thread bro but i have some 05 scratchs mounted at modern which i think is core center but its like -7 from tru and im gonna b using em for like 80%park should i remount em?

my scratches are mounted center and they are dope.

 

[ktollefson_1080]

put them just a bit back from center so it will match ur percentages of wut u ski

 

[lyndon]

yes, he should. He will find it much easier to do rails, spin, etc.

get them direct center of the ski...u think u may be getting the best of both worlds mounting them 2 back. ur wrong...i was in the same position as u with my fujatives...ull be sry if u mount them back. CENTER on the EAST, even on ICE will be skiable with true center...trails on the east suck anyway

 

[JaphyRyder]

alright im goin to the shop in a few hours. any last minutes tips? will center mounted make it much harder to ski outside of park?

- 2 or 3 cm from true center

 

[JaphyRyder]
