Hang on arent centered and +2 and completely different mounts.
I would just go ahead and mount them on the traditional line 0. -7.5 from chord center.
Unless you are skiing switch?

x2, search and then if no joy, ask if anyone's got any thoughts - mention what type of skiing you want to do on them, and don't be suprised when you get told to search

dave c..everything you have said to do i have done and explained in the question!!i have given my height, weight, where and how i ski,that i have searched it finding conflicting reports,what bindings are going onto what skis and have asked if anyone's got any thoughts!!
freeskier..they are completely different mounts which is what i want advice on!!i would like your thoughts on why you suggest traditional as opposed to +2..BTW,
i hardly ever ski switch
i want to know how much difference mounting at +2 as opposed to centred would make on the obsetheds?TIA

Just a small FYI the line on the 08 Seth and the 09 Obsethed are in completely different places.
+3 08 is pretty much on the line in the 09.

Sorry, to be more specific - my thought was that you're asking in the wrong place, and lots of people on TGR will of mounted Obsetheds, whereas very few will of on Snowheads.

I mounted my Obsethed's with Jesters on the +5 line. I ski alot of switch but didn't want to compromise on powder skiing.
So far they've been perfect. I'd guess if your doing a lot of touring, you'll probably be skiing alot of powder so I'd say that aroun +3 to 0 will probably be best for you, unless you do ski powder switch, in which case +5 to 0 is probably best.
