Hey - yes, I really like the location. Close enough to touch easily, but sheltered enough that even in wet snow or freezing rain the screen stays clear. Also love how much you can customize the widgets that are shown. I have it on both my STX and my new 25 SRX.

3300km between my '22 S-TX and my '23 T-Cat. Not as much as previous seasons, but much more than expected given how the season started, and that we had to trailer every weekend since our lake was never staked this winter! (normally we are spoiled and just cross the lake to our trails - so easy!!)

I just use a standard (flat) screwdriver and a hammer. Gently tap the locking collar, it will move eventually :). So you would recommend the Slydog skis over the strykes?

I had a gold (with a little bit of black) Excel III back in the 80's when I was a kid. I still love the looks of that machine to this day :)

Were you in the Haliburton Forest poker run? I was there both Friday and Saturday since the trails in Fenelon got wiped out on Thursday, ruing my snowmobile vacation week! If that first sled in your 2nd pic is an SS440, I'm pretty sure we passed that group. We were a group of 4 with me leading...

Do you have a part number for the braces? I added the UPT bracket as well, so thinking I should be the braces before I load up the gas caddy :)

Ah, I see, good point. Love learning stuff on this site :).

I'll wait and see what's already in there, but if it already has the 5mm in, 7.5mm is my only option to try something different, isn't it?

So the shim kit comes with 7.5mm I beleive, so if want more rear ski pressure (non snowtracker carbides :) ), seems like I should give that a try. And sorry for straying off-topic a bit :)

Thanks - was asking because it states on the product page "A unique EPS shim pad assembly", and if I look up the part numbers for the shims on the S-TX, it's a different one than the regular shim kit. So maybe I'll just order one and see if the kit has one that is higher than what comes on the...

Anyone know what the "special EPS" shims are relative to the shims that come with the kit for the stryke skis? I've got a 22 ST-X EPS and am getting a bit of darting, so want to shim the back of the skis down a bit more.

My Dad's machine is a 2022 Renegade, and I massively prefer the gauge on my 22 sidewinder and 23 t-cat. There's just too much going on with the skidoo gauge.

I passed one on the trail this past weekend. As I looked through my tears of sorrow for not being able to spring order one, I thought it was a really really good-looking sled.

Finally got a really good ride on the weekend. Did 200 km around the Bancroft area (up to Whitney, over to Madawaska and back) and was reminded how much I love my Winder :)

That's stunning.
