 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Purchased myself ome second hand skis. Been in touch with the seller and they have been serviced and waxed before despatch. Going away next week and in the long run will be looking to service my skis myself.
My question is; is it worth buying a multi tool to keep my edges sharp, something like the FK/SKS Edge trick and also thinking of getting a zardoz not wax puck to top up with through the week.
Any opinions welcome.

MJS, I use edge trick evryday while in resort, just to remove burrs, it can also have a diamond stone as well to polish edges.. I find zardox does not last more than a day, and they need a hot wax mid week especially if conditions are hard like they are at present. You may need some elastic bands to get brakes out of the way, and put skis in corner of room to brace them to make it easier. Also put some water on stones to lubricate 
became a series of random thoughts!

MJS, wouldn't it be cheaper (and better) just to buy a normal guide/clamp/stone setup?

Mosha Marc, edge trick is cheap and does all angles. its about £20 max with oxide and diamond stone
Its also good if travelling hand luggage only, i have had a security person asking what the normal guides are, and then stating trademens tools.....i will confiscate them! .........a long arguement was started!

Can you get a replacement stone for an edge-trick? I don't know if I haven't been using it correctly, but I think my stone is worn out and I haven't used it many times.

I give my skis a good wax before I go and using Zardoz every day have never found that I needed to wax again mid week. I do impregnate the bases with it prior to waxing and do a long scrape and wax, scrape and wax and brush session.
I much prefer an edge guide and diamond file touch up rather than the tools.
carroz, Just tell them that it is a measure to check angles
