snow trackers review

[yamamarc]

So I installed all my bday gifts wifey bought me this morning blue snow flap, deluxe tunnel pack and aggressive snow tracker carbides!
I went for a run to test out the carbides and I gotta say i'm very impressed! Originally I was running woodie's slim jims last season and found they were good but still had a little push in the corners! I installed the snow trackers tightened my middle shock back up I and ran down the little road way beside my house and wow these things really grip well!!! It literally felt like I was rails!!
I had my wife try out my sled and now she wants a set!

Used semi aggressive last season they worked great but I had a little push . i think the aggressive set would be the answer!!

No I have a 2014 with the regular skis! I ran them on my 2011 venture and loved them!

for your cat i suggest shimming the front of the ski yamamarc....both mine and my buddies xr7000s wore the rear carbide off entirely first

we used like 1mm tin...just about 1/2 inch strip front of the rubber...ends up being more then 1mm because it keeps the rubber from falling into the grooves. I found mine still wasnt right with snow trackers until we shimmed it. My dealer does it to their sleds they demo as well

Are you shimming the SnowTrackers? If so, don't! Make sure your toe is set at 0 also!

thats not what i said....and the toe is not the issue

 

[kviper]

Your shimming under the rubber bumpers between the ski and the spindle right?

 

[savageman69]

yes on cat skis

 

[kviper]

Are you loading the front or rear of the ski? The reason I ask is I have seen a few people loading the rear like Bergstrom does and it lifts the defuser out of the snow and defeats the whole design of the trackers.
