Hi again,
I bought the SL Ullr's chariot. as per Peters advise.
it says in the manual that you should stone grind them before skiing them.
I checked the base with a true bar and they are not high. the company also recommends that you put a 1.5 deg side bevel and a .7 base bevel. why? is it better I always do a 2 deg on side and 1 on the base.
Thanks,
Moe

Precision Ski in Frisco was selected by SkiLogik to do the prep for the skis that SkiLogik was showing at the Ski Industry show in Denver. They were using .7 and 2.? Their thinking was that 1 and 2 is almost the same net angle, and while .7 might be too grabby for a narrow ski it helps the wider ski engage the edge.

By the way, this same shop was recommended by Harb Ski Systems for those (like me) that don't tune their own skis.

I had them do my Ullr's Chariots and was pleased. They also recommended grinding a bit of texture into the base.
