Aftermarket ski runners - any improvement?

Mac is right, Bergstrom are the best I have run them on different machines over the years and they hold up well.There triple points are awsome, but initially expensive though still worth it.

I looked at Bergstrom's website and it appears they're claim to fame is the harder host bar. I agree with their claim that a harder host bar doesn't loose carbide as quickly. From what I gathered reading their comparision drag testing, Woody's seemed to be a close second with the others (sno-stuff, etc) much further behind.

I can see the triple points costing a whole bunch more but what about say 8" vs. 8" of 90 degree? Are they compairable in price with Woody's?

My primary goal with runners/skegs is durability and Bergstrom's seem to be right up there if not the best. Guess I'll have to take a second look.

When it comes to standard carbides there right there with everybody else price wise and sometimes a little less.The last runners a bought which were 6" 90 degree carbide were about 60 bucks.

Thanks Swede. That seems to be around the same or cheaper as you said.
 
Your welcome, warning though Scott can talk your ear off, lol.In all seriousness he's a great guy and eager to help, also tell him your a ty member and you'll get a discount
 
I have used all the brands, and since I found shaper bars several seasons ago, I have not bought anything else. They are by far the best. I don't use dually type ones as those add steering resistance and IME slow the sled down.
