I was wondering if anyone had a link to Stud Boy Dual carbides. I would like to try these on my stock skiis before i decide to change the skiis.

Thank you!

I put them on my wifes Vector LTX Gt and it doesn't dart an once. I can't speak for how well they would work on a Nytro
 
yeah id really like a link to the site that sells them for a nytro tho. I figure im going to order them and try them before skiis
 
the problem is they are 1/3 the cost of a good set of skis. Also a good set of skis address other issues like flotation. The Stock skis float for sht!!!
 
I put them on my FX Nytro last weekend, they work great, I used the 4 inch which were recommended as I do not have a studded track. Grabbed well in the corners and tracked very straight.
 
They are also in the Yamaha accessory catalog with a Yamaha part number, so you can order them from any of the on-line Yamaha dealers.
I have 1100 miles on a set this year, and they still look like new with 95% of the carbide still there. The Woodys duelys they replaced were 50% worn after 400 miles.
 
I put a set of 6" on my 08 fx Nytro and it eliminated the darting on hard pack. The only thing I saw is they tend to push a little bit more in the corners. Overall I like them so far. I only have approx 150 miles on them. One draw back is there is more drag with dualies and I lost some on top. Even when sitting back on the seat, I still could feel them dragging some. I guess If I am going to lake race I will put back on my 6" dull singles.
 
I had Woodys Dueleys last year and those had way too much drag (duel bars and duel carbides) they would even get rocks caught between them and they would catch on everything (anything with a edge that you had to go over they would catch) IE: like roads, Bridges, train tracks, concrete pad of your garage loading onto a tilt bed trailer was an adventure.
I switched to the (4 inch) Stud Boy Deuce Bars this season and they track straight and don't catch and compared to the Woodeys there is virtually no drag. Sometimes there is a bit of push in the corners.
I highly recommend Stud Boy Deuce bars.
