I have some Shaggy's to mount for a friend. They look nice.

No mounting point graphic printed on the ski? Sidewall?

I'm guessing done by hand.Interesting. From the alignment I'm guessing it's more reliable than the graphic?
Probably - Measure the running surface and take its mid-point. That should be the spot.Interesting. From the alignment I'm guessing it's more reliable than the graphic?
Measure the running surface and take its mid-point. That should be the spot.
Um, highly unlikely. Unless these are park skis, center of the running surface is very very unlikely to be the mount point. On a traditional ski mount point is -7 to -9cm from cord center. On a newer school ski -4 to -7cm.
Manufacturer recommendation is typically much more than the midpoint of the running surface. It's a question of ski shape, camber profile, tapers, intended use, etc etc etc.
Since tip and tail designs vary a lot nowadays from ski to ski, cord center isn't a very meaningful location. I don't hear any contemporary builders using that as a guide.
