RE: how good are Simmons Flex-Ski ?

[KEVIN]

How do I tell what saddles I have?

 

[KEVIN]

Bought the cheaper carbides and only lasted 1 year
Fronts wore right off
Damn it

 

[bluemonster1]

give us a pic or two of your ski's and saddles...

 

[KEVIN]

How do I post pics from my iPhone ?

 

[bluemonster1]

load to your computer and use photobucket.com to copy and paste on here.

 

[KEVIN]

Maybe I will need to put a shim in the back ?

 

[KEVIN]

Can I shim these skis for more pressure on the back of them>?

 

[bluemonster1]

no problem doing that, you want the front carbides just a tad of the floor when sled sits on the floor with no one on it.Also dual carbide skis toe out should basically be nothing or 1/8" max.

 

[KEVIN]

I am going to shim them so maybe I don't have to buy carbides this year

 

[snowdad4]

did those saddles come with the extra hole? just curious because all the ones i have installed only had the single provision. those appear to be simmons mounts on simmons skis?

 

[bluemonster1]

yep there is only 1 mounting hole in the Simmons saddle's.The USI saddles have more holes and are best in rear setting.

The saddles came with the skis when I bought them used off here
I am going to shim under the rubbers as much as I can
