Hello All;
I took my SR 95's to a very well respected tune shop; these guys know what they're doing.. When I took the skis back out--I felt a very distinctive grabby sensation mid turn; as though in the mid turn the ski suddenly pulled me into a 45 degree angle. However at speed--this sensation disappeared. When I took the ski back to the shop--they said they'd put some more bevel on it--and it should be ok. (They were very nice and accommodating). When I took the ski out again--it till felt like ti was pulling at slow speeds--however the felling was less so than before.
I stopped by the original ski shop where i bought the skis to ask for specific tune dimensions--and the shop guy said that Stockli was very specific--2 over 1.4. Not 2 over 1. Not 2 over 1.3. 2 over 1.4
Next I stopped by another well regarded specialty tuning shop. They said their standard tune on these skis is 2 over 1. They also said that they didn't think they could set their machine to 1.4. For some reason he thought he could go to a 1.1--which I really didn't understand.
Importantly--he said that the feeling i was describing was very typical of a ski that has a base level of less than 1...
Here are my questions--
Can any one confirm that the tune on the SR 95's--must be 2 over 1.4 (Lindsey ?)
if so--does t make sense that the specialty tune can't set their machine to a 1.4 base precisely ?
Does the sensation I am describing sound like the result of a base bevel below 1 degree? Is this possible a racing oriented tune--because as mentioned--the skis do feel very good at speed--but just super grabby/pulling at slower speeds.
Thank you for your help.
Also--just checking--Phil I hope you are feeling better and taking appropriate care...
