Trying to figure out if my expectations are unrealistic or what.
Just received long-awaited, special order FT62 in 188.
Assume they are are 2020/21 model, since tail looks reasonable, rather than the higher tail of last year.
(Although, it’s interesting that the attached sticker on the base does not list 196 as an available length.)
But, that not the subject...
The pair I received are not true.
The skis have twist. In an ideal world, both skis should be flat and true.
These are not.
One ski has more twist than the other.
So, if I use these skis, I have to decide if I want the outside tip, or outside tail to bite more.
It’s “only” a cumulative 2.5mm gap (twist) at the tails. It does not take much pressure to squeeze the tails together.
Should I just suck it up and move on, or look for some sort of solution, whether that’s from Åsnes, or trying to “untwist” them over the summer?
(I will add that there is 10mm difference between the balance points of the two skis. Again, I don’t know if this is in tolerance or not. I just mounted a pair of 180cm Asnes Gammes for my wife and they had a 10mm difference in balance points, also.)
Maybe I’m too much of a perfectionist. Or, maybe the FT62s should be more true — I don’t know.
What do you think?
In the pictures, the tips have a spring clamp holding the tip bases together.
The pictures show the resulting gap at the tails.
