Re: Reconditioning kick surface on no-wax skis (Fischer SBound, Inbound Crown

I have a delaminated set of ski's where the grip section is a separate piece of plastic, it is keyed into the the front and back glide surfaces with a puzzle piece pattern. If you trusted your glue technology, transplanting the kick zone from another ski might work.

Re: Any good references for running "vintage" skis?

Winters coming and a set of Rossignol Randonnee's popped up on my radar. I see they made "DAVE'S NORDIC BACKCOUNTRY SKIING PAGE" as "Traditional Touring Ski's". Anyone here remember these? I ended up with a bunch of edged skis to play with but I don't have any wax-less yet. Are they worth picking up?

Re: 75mm boot shims.

Good hardware stores have sheets of orange hard rubber gasket material in different thicknesses. I might try and cut a larger piece to pad the bindings bail, and attach with zipties when in use.

Re: Telescoping XC ski poles

Well I went ahead and ordered a set of the BD Traverse Pros. Hopefully they'll be a little more confidence inspiring. I also found some cheap snow baskets on line. Has any one seen these in real life? https://yukoncharlies.com/product/powder-baskets/ https://i0.wp.com/yukoncharlies.com/wp-content/up...

Re: Telescoping XC ski poles

I just sent back a set of Black Dimond Traverse poles with the plastic Flicklock levers. As they came the levers did not have enough tension for me to come up from a knee with and slid. I called Black Diamond technical support and they said send them back or try and tighten them. The did not have a ...

Re: Fischer Factory in jeopardy

I haven't paid attention to Chomsky for 25 years, but this little refresher was interesting, as a lot of the "in-depth" analysis I've seen recently seems to regurgitate most of his talking points. It makes me wonder if Putin has read Chomsky and folds Chomsky's narrative of inventible consequence in...

Re: Fischer Factory in jeopardy

And how does your calling a foreign leader "a malignant thug" have relevance to skiing? See, this is the path I did not want to go down. But to take the bait...You do realize the USA has done far worse to numerous places in the world the past 40 years, right? And that they orchestrated a coup in Uk...
