Ski shimming questions?????

[Morgan]

I have heard alot about ski shimmin, done a search, looked for about an hour and came up with very little.

So my question is, can you explain to me what you are shimming??

And what does this achieve??

Thanks for all your advice, Morgan.

its a 3/8 to a 1/4 peice of plastic or aluminum that goes on the backside and bottom of the rubber stop block under the spindle and above the ski saddle. The purpose is to have your skis ride level or with a little rear pressure. It does eliminate most darting issues. I use one on all of my sleds and setups. I use 1/4 x 1" aluminum strip stock cut to with of the rubber block and mount with two screws plus a little liquid nails.

I hope this helps. What part of Indiana are you from? I am in Muncie.
