    mounting point on PR's for tele

    For those of you who have skied PR's tele, where would you mount them? I'm mounting them with g3's and am a pretty strong skier looking to bust out some stuff in the park, bumps, and bc this year.

    Measure straight line from tip to where the twin starts to turn upwards in the back. Mark that point on the back, then mark the point of 1/2 your first distance from the rear mark towards the center of the ski. See how that looks as far as pin line. You can always move it back and forth 1 or 2 cm in each direction. (303) 831-7228 <- call these guys for more info.

    Fun tele ski, I demoed the same rig last year, but would've moved the bindings back a cm or two, the tails felt too long to me for powder.

    I had some mounted 3cm back and somewhere around 4.5cm back, and I preferred the 4.5's for pow but the 3 for most everything else. I'd go 3cm again.
    Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

    I'm guessing I should tap the scew holes when mounting these PR's then? It 's kind of a JONG-ish question but oh well.

    wouldn't it make the most sense to find the balence point of the ski and mount the bindinng there? It might be different with tele gear but thats what we do with skinny skis for xc
    Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care

    Yeah AKPM thats what I usually do with all my classic and skate skis: Pins well nowadays toe on ski center, but I think that a twin like the PR might be a little different especially because I'm going to be skiing them in the park and stuff too. Plus, I think that the choices with xc skis are somewhat limited because you have to deal with the double camber, so you pretty much have to mount the bindings ski center or else the ski all funky and screw up[ your kick and glide on classic skis at least.
