Simmons Skis carbide wear question

[rock]

I just bought a set of Simmons Skis for my Apex GT from a buddy of mine who had taken them off an '04 Warrior. He had six inch carbides and I notice they were worn heavily in the front, but, hardly at all in the back. I mean they were still at a point on the last 3 to 3.5 inches. Is this normal wear for them? How do you get the weight more centered on these skis? :?:

Mine did the same, and other than Simmons will too.
BTW, shims were installed.

How thick of shims do you put in?

Umm, Bergstrom gave me a bunch of them. About 3/16 thick as I recall. Screw it to the top of the rubber on the back. We have more info on the site along those lines, I just have to find it for you

Simmons was supposed to come out with a new carbide this year to correct the problem, give then a call.
