Twisted race ski
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2024 4:10 am
Hi everyone, hoping you may have an answer for me
I have a pair of new never used (never waxed apart from from the factory wax) bindings never been fitted, Atomic revoshock super g skis 212 length, that have a twist tip to tail.
When the skis are stood upright and placed together gently at the base then brought together at the tips, there is a 1.5mm gap on one side. The twist is all on one ski. When placed on a flat surface the ski is held away from the surface by the two highest points.
I contacted Atomic who advised me to contact the supplier.
I contacted the UK supplier who tells me this is within tolerance, when I asked what the tolerance was he didn’t have an answer.
I’m pretty sure that if used the ski, it will be catching edges and want to turn when going straight.
I would value you opinion on the problems I may encounter in using the ski as it is and also whether you think it can be straightened and if so how?
Thanks
