Well this past weekend we raced in Eagle River, WI at the famous Derby Track. Round 5 and 6 of the GNSS series. The track was ruff and sloppy. The weather was warm making the snow very sugary and vulnerable to falling apart fast. It was the roughest track of the season. I was able to tame it though. I was happy with my results for such a rough track. 

Saturday Round 5:
Sport 1 - 4th
Sport 2 - 2nd

Sunday Round 6:
Sport 1 - 3rd
Sport 2 - 3rd

You could start with an 1/8" of shim and work up from there.  Rememberthat shimming will cause the ski to fit very tightly as you areeffectively increasing the interference of the rubber with the spindleat the neutral position.  For this, the spindle cannot simply be setinto the ski saddle and the spindle bolt pushed through because of holemisalignment.

To install the skis with high spindle rubber interference (after shimming):

  1. Pick the spindle off the ground and slide the ski into position.
  2. Cock the ski so that the outside saddle bushing somewhat lines up to the hole in the spindle.
  3. Take the spindle bolt (don't forget the washer), push it through the ski and work it into the spindle hole a small amount.
  4. Lift the ski up and slide a block of wood under the side cut radius on the inside of the ski so that all the weight of the machine is on the block and the carbide is off the floor.
  5. The spindle hole should now be very closely aligned with the inside saddle bushing.  Use a hammer to lightly tap the spindle bolt all the way through.
  6. Install the washer and torque to the recommended value in the manual.

how much of a shim should i use ?]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2010 09:08:36 +0000 http://curveindustries.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73&PID=232#232 Installation : carbides http://curveindustries.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73&PID=231#231 Author: Sean

Unfortunately on the Nytro and Phazer, the rubber is not 'captive' other than through the center of the spindle.  This results in tension on the center of the rubber as the spindle pushes the two ends apart and consequently, causes slop and droop.  Once you shim under the back part of the rubber, there shouldn't be any further issues - at least concerning our direct experience.

Well, the rubbers shouldn't be too bad at that low of mileage actually but to test, you can pick the skis off the ground and see if they droop, stay level with the track or point upward from level with the track.  If the skis droop, I suggest shimming under the rear of the rubber to provide some heel pressure and keep the skis pointing upward.  The Phazer and Nytro are probably the most abusive on rubbers and can wear them out in very little time.  Mostly what happens as you may observe is the rubber begins to pull apart in the center (underneath the spindle bolt) as the front and rear of the rubber ride up on the spindle.

We run the Floats on our SE @ 55psi.... you can try dropping yours down a bit and see what happens.

Let us know what you come up with!

Right now i believe they are around 65psi.... would the rubbers be worn out after 400 miles of riding? i just got them from you in october.  I also just replaced all my a arm bushings with the ulmer pieces, and that tightened everything right up, so hopefully this weekend with all the snow we just got, i can give it a new test.]]> Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:02:34 +0000 http://curveindustries.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73&PID=227#227 Ski-Doo Discussion : Darting http://curveindustries.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74&PID=226#226 Author: ronjon

"Overall, the snowboard category is taking a serious hit this seasonand most brands' sales are down," Davis says. Tracking the industry'strends is her full-time job, and she's been fielding some tough phonecalls from reporters with gloom-and-doom story assignments this week.But she brightens at the mention of Tim and Tracey Canaday.

"Never Summer's season-to-date sales through November were up 33percent in units and 41 percent in dollars sold through November,"Davis says. "We expect to see at least 20 percent growth for NeverSummer boards through the 2009-2010 season. They are going to beat therest of the category in percentage growth by a mile if their growthrate holds."

Never Summer is having its best year ever — the third in a string ofbest years ever, each outpacing the previous year by as much as 20percent. It's now one of the ten best-selling snowboard manufacturersin the country, according to Davis, growing at a rate that's the mirroropposite of the industry's overall decline. Last year the Canadaysmoved 13,000 snowboards.

"In a tough economy, you really need to have something unique tosell," Tracey says. "Retailers are buying conservatively, and consumersaren't going to shell out for something new unless you're offeringsomething that is going to transform the way they snowboard and makesnowboarding a whole lot more fun. We hit it right on the head with ournew rocker-camber designs, and the timing couldn't have been better
