What Ski Carbides for Viper??

[duwem]

My sled is darty going down the trails, looked at my carbides and one side is 1/2 missing. Want to change those before adjusting steering toe.

Looking to get some new ones. 2004 Viper S with stock 1.25" track, no studs.

Recommendations?

Bergstrom triple points with ski savers and rubber shim. Will be like power steering.

ski shim for sure. i prefer stud boy shaper bars with 6" carbide on the square host bar. goes where i point the skis on trail.

Those triple carbides are cool, big investment up front would have to think on those.


I'm not familiar with ski shimming. Please explain.

No reason, but it makes a world of difference. Night and day! I even do it to my brand new sleds.

Had some 1/8" lexan so made a pair of shims. RTV is drying more snow Tuesday should have several chances to try them out yet this year.

1/8" shims made no difference. New set of carbides likely needed before shimming will be effective. Will also attempt to measure toe.
