I just got back from haydays where I picked up a set of c&a skis and I just put them on my srx. Do I need to do any adjustments, down pressure? I am also wondering what model they are being that a stoled them off of a guy for 70 bucks and they look like they have about 100 miles on them. I got the mounting kit from rich and a set of new carbides 6" carbides. 145 bucks later I am pumped for snow!!!!!!! They are 6 inches wide and they have a large square keel. They rest of the ski is flat. I am wondering how they will affect the flowtation of my sled in snow and water???

Sounds like I have that same ski you are talking about. I have a 6" carbide on them and to me that is not enough. I think I will try the shaper bar from studboy. I am likely going to try a 7.5"ish carbide. I guess I have never changed my set-up for my sled when tryng a new ski, just put'em on and go. My next set of skis might be a pair of simmons skis. Who now's......I went to haydays on Saturday....good crowd......saw Pat Hauk run a couple of rounds at the grass drags......Always fun to see an old v-max still kicking butt!!!

I really loved my sets of C&A's. Love the way they rail the corners, and love how they look. Also EVERYONE has carbides for them because it is such a popular ski. Other aftermarket skis can be much harder to get carbides for. Only change you may need with the C&A's is a change in ski pressure, but that can only be determined after riding it. Letting out the limiter/tightening center spring will take weight off the skis, as well loosening the front preloads.
I had a set of C&A's on my srx with 8" carbides and I liked them. As yamaholic said point and shoot little darting if any depending on conditions. The only thing I found with them if the snow had a light crust that you broke thru they were scary at speed. Which I think is caused from the deep keel
I have a pair of ADV C&A skis with 6" Shaper bars and Berstron Ski savers.
I really like the Shaper bars, they wear real good. The Berstrom ski savers add and extra 1/4 to the keel and save the bottom of your skis from getting all chewed up. They cost $15 shipped?
