ski width adjustment

[fx-treme]

can anyone tell me what the benefit is of being able to adjust the ski width from 42" to 43". would one or the other help detour darting? Thanks

I don't think changing the ski stance would change the darting at all. I think it would help with handling. 43 would be better on the trails with a wider stance and 42 might be a little better boondocking. I don't really know how much better either one of these adjustment will help.

How are the vipers delivered? 42 or 43?

I have no idea. But just look at the rubbers by the skis if they are thinner towards the inside then it would be set up at 42. If thicker on the inside then would be set at 43.

Thank you. Mine came set at 42".

Oops I think it's the opposite thinner on the inside would be 43.

Mine came with the bushing on the inside of the spindle so 43 for me.

Mine is set at 43"

Mine came at 43 also

The thick part going to push the ski in when inside and push the ski out when outside.

Well if the thick part of the rubber is on the inside then that would push the ski inward which makes it 42. So basically you would want the inside of the ski to be closest to the spindle. That would make it wider.

If the spacer is on the inside of the spindle they are 42". That is how mine came. I stand corrected for my earlier post when I said mine came 43".
I also measured it.

Lol...made me think, but yes that would be correct.
