bergstrom skegs --- your set up?

[apex_shug]

Just recieved my bergstrom skegs for my 2007 apex gt.

WOW, they are some meat eaters. Pavement doesn't stand a chance. Hats off to Scott.

So, Scott informed me to run a 3/8 shim and 1/4 ski saver, but says they might need some fine tunning with a different shim.

Wanted to see what everyone else was running with their apexs?
any adjustments to a 1/4 shim or 3/8 ski saver.


Thanks

how long did it take to get them once once you ordered them if i might ask?

I was just in to see Scott and place an order for some triple points. He said about 2 weeks. Making them as orders come in. I'll give it 3 weeks, but worth the wait. First time with the triples, but prior bars I have purchased from him were stout and priced right. And he always wants to talk about what he's thinking about set ups and trying different ideas. He lives and breaths his product, you won't disappointed but get your orders in soon if you want them by the time the trails open.

I ran the 1/4" shims and 3/8" ski savers that Scott sent for my application. No more darting, I turn like I am on rails, and they are virtually indestructable!

My experience with Scott is that you had better not be in a hurry but they are well worth the wait so order now.

ordered them about 4 weeks ago i believe, the week of Milwaukee snow show. he did say it would be mid november.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

wonder if i should step up to 3/8 ski saver?

I'm not what the measurement is but I did a trick I found on here a couple years back where I shaved the top lugs off and old piece of belt and put it in.

I think I put those in the fall of '06 and last fall when I put my Bergstrom's on they were still doing fine. So, they're still there and my handling is great.

I just run the 3/8 shim without the ski saver. Darting 98% gone. These carbides work as advertised. Oh yeah, and you can turn on pavement at the petrol stations.

ski savers scrubbed top end and ate into fuel mileage big time for me. I now run without ski savers. Just the shims. Great carbides.

do you have any darting problems?

 

[Blue Dave]

Like Swiss Sledder said "darting 98% gone". I agree darting issues are almost completely resolved with this set-up.

 

[Addict]

I agree, 98% darting gone with shimmed 6" triple points

jclee71,

I run the 8" triple points which is what Scott recommended for my 144 inner & outer studs and agressive riding style.
