Hey guys,
Finding it hard to steer and my carbides need to be replaced on my Slydog Powerhounds.
Any recommendations on what I should replace them with?
The site I usually order things from is RoyalDistributing since its a Canadian dealership. If the set you guys recommend are on there it would be a bonus!
Thanks again.

There is always a carbide cutting tip angled down, even through turns, when a single tip carbide is angled at more of a 45 degree angle out.

Shaper bars are junk on my powderhounds went through 4 bars each time this happened within 300 miles:
I run sno studs double downs now they are beefy but like any dual push in the corners. They made it a dream to steer and zero darting so I can live with the push. Next year I may get a set of tripple points and run one double on the right side and one single on the left side.
That way if I can get some bite when I need to pass someone on the INSIDE of a corner I got the triple point biting, going to the left or outside of the corner I can push a little bit to miss a sled but still keep it out of the woods.

Bergy Triple Points, probibly be the last set of carbides you will need to buy for those skies! 2000+ miles on mine in less than ideal conditions and they are barely wore and will STILL turn on pavement/concrete.

Sounds like you need to slow down or run sno cross!

Jeez I put on the 6" Shaper bars & it was night/day difference from stock.
2 years still look good. No trails, just ditches & fields. Guess it all depends where/how you ride.

Bergstrom 8" triple points with ski savers and add shims wherever he tells you to...you wont be disappointed and it will be the last set you buy.
