06 attack help

[viper7mi]

I have my front shocks set while hanging 1 1/2 cranks with the shock spanner wrench. I have c&a advantage skis with 7.5 shapers bars and berstrom ski savers. I used two shims on the back of the rubber which raises the front of the carbide off the garage floor. The sled rails straight and is easy to steer.

I am not sure what the limit strap is set at, I will check tomorrow. As far as the wear bars go, I have no issues spending the $200 if they work and will make the sledding experience more enjoyable for my wife. But if I can get the same result for less that would be better
Thanks for the help guys. Looks like snow trackers may be in tghe works.

If ur gonna spend 200 on carbides just get pilot skis. I think I paid 230 or a little less for the complete kit for the apex. I hated my stock skis. And I had doolys on mine too. She will thank you for the light steering the pilots give. My buds girlfriend rode my sled while I was messing with the suspension on her fx phazer and she wouldn't give my apex back for half the night. It was kinda funny that she rode my apex set up for me better than the phazer set up for her.

If you buy the Tracker's there is usually a very small sticker on the package that will give you setup. If not set toe to 0 with a bunge across the tip's, make sure you have the stock rubber bumper's between the ski and spindle with NO shim's, the front of the ski need's to be in the snow for the defuser to work!
And again if your wife is not a real aggressive rider the semi aggressive's will be all you need.
You won't believe it, she will be able to meet on coming traffic with one hand on the bar's with confidence!

You get what you pay for with good carbides. We are getting 3000-5000 miles on one set of tripples. So yea, you buy them for 2x the price and they last 3x as long.

Woody's duel carbides will take care of the darting 100%. The bucking issue is hard to eliminate if your wife is a light rider. Turn the tunnel dial 10 clicks back from hard and add some transfer, If the transfer is eliminated the ride will be stiff from the start.

Thanks guys, I will try new carbides. I should have explained the bucking issue better. The sled is getting tossed around side to side and I beleive it is caused by the extreme darting because I can feel it when I am riding it. I had the shock in the skid rebuilt and revalved for her weight and riding style at the end of last year. It rides nice for her and is comfortable. I thought that if I could play with different adjustments in the skid to adjust ski pressure that might help. I am not very familiar with the adjustment on the mono skid.

Don't forget to check ski alignment, new carbides alone can't overcome a ski toe-in condition if the sled has one. I use a 10' 1" square alum tubing (Home Depot) pushed up tight against the track then measure & adjust ski alignment. The skis should be parallel to the alum tubing or they can toe-out but only slightly (1/8"). Ski toe-in will cause darting. Once the skis are aligned, Woody's Dooly's will greatly help. Also try letting out the limiter strap to get some weight off the skis but you may then have to put some more preload on the front shocks so the sled doesn't loose too much 'bite'. The strap length front shock preload is a trial-&-error process. If your wife's been good this year, she won't mind Santa bringing her a new set of Simmons skis for her sled, either.
