Re: Accidentally bought Fischer e99 waxing version. First time to wax. Should I keep them?

"Waxing is ridiculously easy." said no one ever (except here.) If it is so "ridiculously easy" then what wax would you recommend for pulling a pulk...in spring from Am to PM...over a long distance...for many days. My god man, you're trying to ruin this guy's trip! He has enough to do and see and enj...

Re: Accidentally bought Fischer e99 waxing version. First time to wax. Should I keep them?

IMHO, even asking the question is so wrong that it is not even wrong.... The world has moved on from waxing, unless you have a wax tech and really good technique (or you are really into non-skiing time-sucking.) Save yourself a bagillion brain cells and spend your time skiing instead of the hassle o...

Re: XC Ski Sizing

Google the question and you'll find most XC manufacturers and gear purveyors say the same thing. Backcountry and REI's sites are as good as any.

Rossignol BCX6 sole split repair?

I read in places that the soles of BCX6's can split, and that is what happened to me. See picture. (the whiteness is from two attempted crazy glue repairs 20201221_133605.jpg ) Anyone have an idea on fixing them? I tried super glue (cyanoacrilate) twice (thinking that the soles are basically rubber)...

Or, instead of flex, are the dominant factors profile, cut, and radius so therefore flex can be the same fo...
