hey guys just wandering if its ok to ride without the wear bars on the skis got fresh snow today and was contemplating on riding without them have some ordered but they aren't here yet and patience is not one of my virtues lol but if it will cause damage then I guess I will have to try and learn some patience just wandering your thoughts and thanks for your time
 

Well if you want to turn... you probably want carbides/wear bars. BUT We have snow now!! Its still snowing here south of madison.
 
Yeah I'm just south of Janesville wi and its snowing pretty good here probably round six inches and still coming bout darn time.. As for turning the slp skis I have on have a good lip in the middle of the ski so I think it might still turn.. Just bein inpatient I suppose but might try it anyway been really itching to ride being my first season with a sled.. if I try it ill have to let ya know if she turns. But might try that thing they call patience to be safe
 
Be careful if you cross a road. It'll be like riding on sand paper. You'll be surprised how little of the ski is left when you go to put the wear bars on.
 
A lesson was learned. Do not throw old parts away until new ones are in hand.
 
Considering that the wear bars after the carbides are gone only last about 1 ride before they're flat as pancakes....I'd stay off the roads. I'm sure it'll turn with a deep keel. Sounds like something I'd try. Love the enthusiasm! Let it snow...
 
yeah I decided to be patient didn't want to have to buy new skis just because I was impatient lol... But wow what a difference I would recommend Bergstrom's skags to anyone who is looking it really grabs the trails and I can actually turn on the cement thanks for all the input greatly appreciated

Are trails open in rock county then? Have you gone out for a rip yet?
 
They were open I don't think they are now didn't have much luck riding though second time out threw a driveshaft bearing so I'm out for the season hit her hard again next year I suppose
 
Yea been rough for me an the sled lol got the wear bars on an the next day lost the bearing but I did get almost 700 miles on it mostly ditch banging but I can say beats an arctic cat lol I'll be a Yamaha rider till I die the motor runs like a champ just all the little stuff I'll have to go through to make sure I got a good run next year
