  6. OS1, Conversion nuts

    in Want to Buy

    Fleaman,

    So you have the 10mm spherical nuts and bolts? If I filled the hole in the plate and redrilled it, they would work.

    You don't have the special limited edition conversion nut for 12 mm plate with 10mm nut right?

    Thanks, Bricky

    WTB Catek OS1 conversion nuts. There were two versions of OS1's having different Kingpin bolt and nut sizes, 10mm and 12mm. They made a conversion kit. Do you have any of the parts? I want to make all my base plates fit the 10mm size bolt and allen wrench.

    Thanks

  9. Belleayre Rocks For Carving!!!

    BILL B,

    Last weekend it was firmer (hardpack) than I love, but found some carveable spots. It was under 30 degrees all weekend so was not "spring" conditions.

    Lots of snow, though. No "brown spots"

    This coming week and weekend appear to have more "spring" conditions, following up to 6" of new snow on Thursday and Friday and some grooming.

    You will probably need warm wax and ZARDOZ, and the mornings will be best so get up early. Don't miss the run known as "Dot Nebel", on the right hand side. Looks like lots of fun

    Sorry I won't be there until Friday night.

    CAIL,

    Unless you have tried a smaller angle, you can't be sure you wouldn't like it more. Try it!!

    Net -3 is reasonable, but the Skivisons tool won't let you do it.

    Buy a tool that gives you the maximum # of options.

    1. I would not buy the Skivisions tool because because it only lets you go to -3 side (87), which is net -2 if you bevel the base to -1. Some other brands permit up to -6 (84). I ride on Eastern U.S. hardpack and ice between powder dumps.

    2, You need to use a magic marker on the edge before tuning so you will know when you have actually file the whole edge to the apex or point. Try a red one. when the red is gone, you should be sharp.

    3. You may need to start with a Panzar file when changing edge angles to really get some sidewall and metal removed with less work. If you don't see a bunch of sidewall removal, you may have a problem getting to the edge metal. (Edit, you can use a sidewall planer, too.)

    I've been riding at Belleayre Mountain this year and find it has several excellent Carving runs. And one of them is really wide and long.

    Lift tickets are cheap, too.

    Skier appreciation days $15 ticket, Fridays March 14th and April 11th

    2 for 1 lift tickets at certain Mobil gas stations w/7 gallons of gas at each 3 visits . One Mobil is in Poughkeepsie across from the Galleria

    College ID? Ski for Junior ticket price.

    Ski free on your Birthday, or if it is in the off season there is a different date-see chart on website

    Visit their website, Belleayre.com

    Union members reportedly get a discount, too. I'll look into this.
