Hulk Hogan Arms needed to turn my 05 in tight twisties

[SnoAngel]

Could anyone walk me through setting up my sled. I have had a chance to ride hardpack trails over the last few weeks and I find the sled requires a lot of effort to steer through the tight stuff. It reminds me of a long track I once had. The steering seems light when entering smaller corners but needs to be muscled to get it to turn in hard when there is any load on the front end.

As I am new to this sled I am not familiar with how the front reacts to changes in the rear skid. I could trial and error it, but hoping someone here can give me a few hints.

I weigh in a 220(ish after the holidays) Stock skis - new ripsaw track begining of season and 96 woodys

Thanks and Happy New Year!

I see you came over from Cat. I had a couple ZRs, just before I switched, after 35 years. Bother had the ZRT. Loved the exhaust note!

I found that if you put even a lowly 6"s of carbides the skis, they turn hard. When I went to doolies to eliminate darting, which they did, they also restored the curvature to the ski. Once that curvature was back, the skis turn with one finger on concrete. Now, some of the more aggressive riders do not like doolies. They claim they load up with snow. I have never noticed this myself. With 96 studs, I would suggest 6" doolies.

Bottom line, you need something to get that curvature back in the ski. The metal plate on the doolies does that. They solved two problems at the same time.
