carbides

[Canadian Lad]

After reading many of the forums I noticed almost everyone said the stock carbides are junk and to change them. My question and I would guess a lot of it is personnel choice but change to what. It seems everyone is sugessting 6 in carbides. I am studded and the dealer suggested the duellies and that they will elinate darting while inproving bite. I have also read that the shaper bars are good. Which do you suggest and why?

The Dooly's track increadibly well...If you are into long distance touring they are hard to beat But they do tend to push more thru the corners 8) This year I'm try the Studboy Deuce Bar....Single wear bar cornering with 2 carbide tracking

Don't put too much bite on the skis unless you have enough studs. The carbide length should be matched to the traction added to the rear. I use 8" Woodys and 144 studs.

What are the stock carbides? 3 1/2"? Joke.

No Redline Viper I studded it. Never seen a machine yet that come studded from the factory.

I think he was making fun of the worthless short factory ski carbides.

I love my Shaperbars! The improved handling they provide in sloppy corners is amazing. They track and wear well to boot. Very impressed!
