 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have been looking at some slalom style piste skis in about 165 at sport conrad, in particular fischer rc4 superrace and the next one up. But they all come with a system binding with a least 6 mm of ramp between heel and toe, which i would HATE

and these

I like the light feel of fischers, and had some with a railflex a while ago that only had 3mm of ramp, but they don't do that anymore.....seems to be back to the old day of pitch everyone way forward.
any idea where i can get these without the rail / flowflex or could i shim the flowflex binding toe?
or a similar ski in the flat, i thought perhaps elan, but have never skied them?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Last time I compared Elans and Fischers slalom skis back to back was a few years ago... Would recommend you demo before buying as they had different feel, Fischers were much more playful than Elans. Both were excellent for their intended purpose, depends on what you like your skis to feel like.
Stockli do flat slalom skis too which I would expect to be closer to Elan than to Fischer on "damp/lively" scale. Superb silky smooth ride.

Skise, My old RC4 race sc were very very playful, got a bit kicked around when it got rough, world cup sc's were slightly less playful, but endless grip and not much more demanding than Race sc's and didn't get bumped about so much. Both of those was a while ago however.
I think the rc4 superior with flowflex would be able to lift the binding toe as its screwed on, so maybe them? No idea why they have gone to 6mm of difference as it used to be 3mm, which was perfect for me.
edit: after a conversation with a mate in les carroz, he has some shims to suit and screws, so RC4 superiors here we come....
