Re: Rivets for Skins: Where to Find

Like others have said, it is easy to find in hardware stores and the like (McMaster, etc). I did the same once: a fit job on a Black Diamond skin. I called BD to ask em if they had those small parts (rivets); could not see them in their catalog... and they send me some free of charge... Might take a...

Re: DIY integrated skins?

My premises: if the ski drags with the scales, it might have something to do with the camber profile (very low and probably soft since it is a powder ski design).

Re: Telehiro and B-Tele Discussion

Re: Opinions on the Arc'teryx Beta AR shell jackets?

Delaminating hasn't been an issue in years of Gore-Tex shells but has been a problem with those thinner light weight shells which claim to be waterproof & breathable. I have to respectfully disagree... It is not what I've been experiencing. And of course, GoreTex has wonderfull replacement warranty...

Re: Opinions on the Arc'teryx Beta AR shell jackets?

Phœnix, you know what you want, know what you do... But let me raise a question: since you seem to have some reserve regarding price point, why would you buy one? I am not sure that jacket is an incompressible need... I think we all should think outside the box regarding Gore-Tex... I mean, not go f...

Re: Telehiro and B-Tele Discussion

This thread is exhausting, let me know when the crib notes version comes out Keep both skis weighted throughout the turn, eliminate the vertical motion. From what I can see this is this biggest difference between A and B and should be enough to get started towards smoother less physically demanding...
