Limiter Strap Adjustment

[Phazernut]

Last season I pulled in my limiter strap one hole to help with the front end issues with the stock skis. This season I have added C&A Pro XT's, 192 studs, Ulmer Stage 2 and 23/40 gears. With this setup I assume I will need to readjust to get it to hook. Should I bring my limiter back to stock consdiering these mods. I know the C&A's will give a lot more agressive turning so I'm thinking moving the limiter will help more with the hookup than steering

Your limiter strap may help with traction, but it will effect the handling more than anything. If you haven't adjusted the front or rear suspension to accomodate that change.
I'm sure there are a hundred opinions, but I have mine set so I can pull the skis off the ground a little, but for the most part, I want the skis to stay in contact with the snow. Too much ski pressure will cause you to loose traction, and become darty and harder to control.

I had the sled set up pretty good last season. It cornered nice and flat and never pulled the skis too bad unless I really tried. I guess this season I'll be starting all over again. Just trying to get a good starting point. I figured with the more agressive ski I wouldn't need as much pressure.

Just dont get too aggressive on making suspension adjustments. One minor adjustment onone part will effect everything else.
In my opinion, I would leave the suspension adjustments alon until you get some miles on - and only once you have ridden in varied conditions. What works well in one area could be crap in another, and you may have to adjust to compromise.
Usually, performance modifications might not require too many suspension adjustments. Mainly transfer rod settings..?

I knew I wouldn't need to make many changes. The limiter and Transfer rod were all I was worried about. I have the rod set at about 1/2 right now so I'll wait till the snow gets here. Thanks Nate.
