Re edging a ski?

[E.C.]

can you even re edge a ski and if you can how much and what does it do to the ski

 

[AntifreezeSteeze]

You can't put another edge on...use them as urbans

 

[E.C.]

ok ya that was i was thinking

Yes you can. Bring them to a shop, and they can replace the edge for you. Might be pricey, and it looks pretty rough, but if you really want it done, its more than possible.

aiight...happy new years

 

[E.C.]

nice but with a new edge will the ski ride different and wat do you mean looks rough

If it's for rails, there is no point. A guy I work with replaced 3 edges underfoot, about 12 inches each and one fell out on his first run. We've done it for snowboarders and it's alright for them because they're more flat base on rails. You could get the edge replaced and then just use those skis to cruise on. Otherwise just round off the ends of the edge at the gap and coat the gap with epoxy.

with a replaced edge from a shop though it will be rather dicey because they will have a tendency to fall out after a while

 

[E.C.]

ok but should still be good for some riding but not on rails

is the ski capped? if so it's prolly not gonna happen.

 

[AntifreezeSteeze]

If you use them for urban they can get scraped up and the edges can be missing but are still ridable on rails

 

[B-Haag]

ya you might as well just buy new skis depending on the prises of your local shop

 

[djty111]

ya you can but if you are using the ski for park it might not matter...you can buy then here although instlation is sometimes tricky depeinding on what type of construction your ski is(cap or sandwich)...
