 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
My Sal Lords have a white line across the ski, as seen here in amongst the graphics - www.salomon.com/uk/product/lord.html - which I assume is the mid point line to match up with the boot midsole line. It does not seem to tie up with the published dimension of 791mm for 177 skis, which I understand is measured from the tail. Can anyone confirm?? And whether the measurement is along the top surface or bottom of the ski??

Are you saying your boots midsole line doesn't match the skis line when clipped in?

No, the skis do not have mountings on yet. Sal publish the mid sole line as 791mm from the tail. The white line across the ski is 770mm from the tail. So just curious to know why the difference???

Can't comment on salomons method of arriving at this, maybe a typo, can't arrive at this either - measuring from tail, around the tail, contact point etc.
But with with mine @ 177 stood on end, from floor to sole line is 770, I would very much doubt if yours measure different to this.

gatecrasher, Thanks - and I managed to get an email into Salomon and got a reply from the Ski tech. 771mm is the factory measurement for a Lord 177cm, +- 5mm. Their docs have not been updated since 2008/9!! Possibly the Lord line has been moved by 2cm since first introduction

also another consideration is that the ski length i believe is measured before the tips have the bends so as yours are twins then they will be slightly shorter than 171 anyway
