I just bought the trail version with the 6" carbides. My 1.25" ripsaw is not studded. Is there install tips based on my sled and current mods I have? I see some people talking about "Ski Savers" and going with Bergstom triple points. Should I consider those? Toe in or straight?
Appreciate any help and/or advice.

1/8" toed-in and to eliminate all darting you need the bergstrom ski savers as well.

Thanks for the reply. I see there are 1/4" and 3/8" versions, which do I need? Are the 6" carbides through slydogs sufficient?
Is the 1/8" toe-in measured at the ski tips? Sorry, but swapping the skiis out will be a first for me.

Oops, I thought you were asking about the Apex that you had boughten Slydog's for, my fault! The Bergstrom ski savers are NOT needed on the RX/RS style sleds, only the rider forward sleds!
I like to measure the skis from the center of the rear carbide stud and front carbide stud. 1/8" narrower on the front than the back, yes.
