bergstrom carbides

[rayone02]

Just wondering if anyone has ordered recently from bergstrom how long it takes to get carbides? Last time I ordered took months to get carbides. I plan to call Monday just want a heads up if I'm wasting my time don't want to be waiting for carbides in January.

Hands down scott and his wife (whole crew) are the best. There carbides are the only thing that will ever be on my sleds for sure. Product and customer service are spot on. Give them a call!!

I ordered mine last year, November, and had them within 3 days.

One of the best things I ever bolted on to my sled and I don't have to replace them this year like I did with the duals that I use to run. I replaced the duals every year they worked ok at best they got rid of darting but I still had a lot of push in the corners that is now gone after I installed Berg'sTP. I ordered mine last year and had them within 3 days

Ordered mine back in August. Go to install them last week and was like wtf, they sent wrong ones. Call them up she said right ones will go out today. We're on my doorstep next day!!

I'm giving a set of Bergstrom skegs a try on my 11 Apex 128" this year. I've been a dyed in the wool Agressive Snow Tracker fan, but these came up for sale very cheap, so will keep you posted on how they compare to Trackers.
Any advice on toe in/out for these bad boys?

That comparo you won't like you will find triple points push & dart a bit....been there done that. Snowtrackers hard to beat but I suppose something better will come along... always does.

What skis? stock skis toe out, with the skis shimmed, will not push or dart!

Yes, stock 2011 ski's, and the Bergstroms did come with ski savers about 1/4" thick. There was a small rectangular plastic block that appears to go over one of the mounting studs under the host bar, which one is the question, I couldn't find out on Bergstrom's site, so for now it is under the front mounting location. If this is not correct please advise where it is supposed to go.
So shims under the rear of the rubber ski bumpers like the 06-10 ski's are required as well?

Yes Scott advises all skis to be shimmed regardless of ski type.The shim allows the carbide to run flat & make the carbides wear more evenly....it works. Scott usually sends out shim directions on paper.
