ON3P SKIS Discussion

[optics]

Wonder if the old j110 tooling could be modified to create this.

PSA: just found some minty 189 Billy Goats on craigslist: https://reno.craigslist.org/spo/d/ca...785533632.html

Sadly these ones won't work for me because I need to mount my own pivots on there for a 325 BSL, but someone get em!!!

[galibier_numero_un]

Get them and plug them with either hardwood dowels or 1000-oaks' aluminum screw method.

If at all in doubt about pullout, use helicoils or inserts. Done!

Betel?

Will there be any changes to the Jessie line next year?

[RudyGarmisch]

You guys are looking for a directional 108 ski that’s somewhat traditionally mounted and then more playful than the Wren 108 with more tail rocker but not a full twin. Yeah, I think something like that might be popular. Sometimes you just want to rage, other times you want to screw around a bit and hit every little feature in sight.

I wonder if there will ever be a ski like that in the ON3P lineup.



Multiple quivers and weirdness here but had to post.

How does the original Caylors hold up to the modern models?

[Bruce Springskiin]

Is that a Wren-RAX ski prototype you are building on the floor there? Don’t fly so close to the sun there Icarus, such a creation could cause major ripples in the universe. I am going to cleanse my sins in preparation for rapture.

Cool, appreciate the input and I'll put this to rest. Going on the line (no demo bindings) and turning the brain off...

i went through the same thing you did a few months ago, directional skier who noted the rec mount point on the K108 was much further forward than anticipated

thanks to the input from ON3P and the great folks on this board who, as directional skiers, for the most part mounted the K108 on the rec point with fantastic results

i mounted on the line and have to say this is the funnest ski in my quiver. it does require you to ski more centered/balanced fore/aft with your feet but you wont notice it after you've destroyed all the pow, blasted through the crud and are in search of soft snow again

the most constant aspect of the K108 that i notice daily is that it begs to be played with, i find myself constantly on piste edges and dipping into the trees on groomers back to the lift

[Bruce Springskiin]

Just a little more Kartel stoke

Yeah my mounting point looks really far forward also, but at -0.5cm on Tele it feels good, maybe I could have a little less ski in the tip, but maybe more detune will mellow the grab out. A good travel ski, but I am pining for some soft snow.

That’s one of the weird things in there, it’s a Caylor top on a 191 BG Tour from a few years back.

Hey cool, I have a Caylor with a Billygoat top

This is unfortunately relevant to my interests.

My first few days on the BGs were...challenging. Finally did a detune on tips and tails and they livened up a ton and became much more comfortable in chopped up powder. Looking for more days and fine tuning, but I think I'm growing into them.

What additional detuning (if any) are people doing for C&Ds?

I took a file to the edge the entire length. Lightly underfoot, but still took it down. Followed w/ series on gummies tip to tail too. Given these are soft-snow-only for me, haven’t noticed be a bad thing. Love my C&D’s! Hoping the storm tonight/tomorrow dumps and Monday is as good as I’m hoping.

Hoping my wife has the same experience now that I’ve detuned her pair after she struggled with them.

Can anyone tell me how the Kartel 108s measure? The 181cm....I’ve heard ON3P measure long.

Along the base? And tip to tip straight pull.

Thx

Pretty sure they measure 181, the difference is everybody else measures short, so it probably similar to a 184 or 185 in other brands.

ON3P measure TRUE.

It's a straight pull of a pressed ski from tip to tail.

[kid-kapow]

yup, they measure 181.something, straight pull from end to end. I find it very odd that their way of measuring is not the industry norm, but then it probably makes too much sense.

Hm, perhaps I should have detuned my BGs a bit more prior to selling them. Oh well. There's always 2020/the next pair

Nice pic cstefanic!

[SkiLyft]

Fkna. Fully. Drank. The. KoolAid.

Getting some longer tours on the goats and got-dayyyym dey guud.

[steveski]

Those looks good, can't wait to get a pair of shifts on my BGs. Had holes for sollys so I put a pair on to ski them for now.

Weight penalty for sure. But in NW cement not another ski I’d rather tour on. The trip down makes it alllll worth it.
