stk. bolts ,stk. rubbers ,grind a little off the front and back of the stk. rubber ,with a grinder ,a little. on the bottom of the stk rubber grind them so they''re flat as you''ll see on the outside of them there's alittle extra rubber .After you have the bottom of the rubber flat grand a little notch in the center on the out sides so it fits over the little plastic thing sticking up in the ski .use 6" shapers in the middle and 4" round bars outside .Enjoy ,it will make the front feel like a 2 stk.now.you also need to remove the bushing in the ski and put them back in from the outside .
So when you take out 6.9 bushings and reverse them you prob need to add washers to the inside to get width perfect?

6" shaper good for non studded track?
 
C&A pro RZ with 9" shapers. Yes it is heavy steering but wherever you point it , it will go. You never have to second guess your line.

Yep put a set of C&A pro RZ with 9" shapers and hate riding your sled because it steers like it's stuck in mud.

Ride whatever suits you. If you can't muscle the ca RZ then don't do it. Pretty simple. If you want old school skis run them. I'm not your daddy and my opinion is just that an opinion. I only run C&A skis because they work for ME! I know it's heavy but they go where you point them every time. Curves are a relaxed version not as heavy but not as sure footed. 6.9 is no better that a tuner with proper carbide. So run what you want I run what I want and it's only my opinion and they say opinions are like azzholz everyone has one.

Maybe I should call the C&A garbage and crap skis because it's just my opinion and I'm not your Daddy and if you want to run that junk then go ahead and run them.
