Re: Outcast vs Meidjo, my thoughts with far too little experience

Hmmm. I’m a little perplexed, I guess the Meidjo isn’t as rigid of an interface, like there is some flex when edging and the like. Vs. the Outlaw. Hmmm, i don't know. I'm not ruling out operator error. They paralleled just fine. They flex differently than what I'm used to compared to the 22D. Telem...

Re: Outcast vs Meidjo, my thoughts with far too little experience

What do these terms really mean from the standpoint of the binding, the boot, and actually skiing in them? I have some ideas from reading and experience from using but I think I'm probably missing something. The above video is very excellent For personal experience though, nothing beats trying out ...

Re: Outcast vs Meidjo, my thoughts with far too little experience

Oh that’s a bummer. Meidjo seems the only really desirable reason to go NTN. Light, free pivot mode, releasable. Otherwise I’m fine on Switchbacks (that said, I ski tele just for the lower angle mixed BC terrain). It’s too neutral? Reminds me of comments about 7tm with its underfoot plastic strap t...

Re: Outcast vs Meidjo, my thoughts with far too little experience

Did you find that the activity level was significantly different between the two? I'm using 2 normal springs per side on the Meidjo, or one stiffy on one pair of skis and don't see much difference. I removed the kickstand, but I have the nut dialed down to the screw being flush. I'm guessing that's...

Re: Outcast vs Meidjo, my thoughts with far too little experience

Outlaw was set with 1 spring #3, Meidjo set with 2 normal springs and #2. I'm thinking of maybe trying the Redline spring with the inner spring next? But doesn't it seem strange that I'm a single normal spring on the Outcast at a moderate setting and I shouldn't be jacking up the Meidjo to a Redlin...

Outcast vs Meidjo, my thoughts with far too little experience

I have spent this miserable winter slowly transitioning to NTN. The draw is three-fold: I am interested in releasability (Meidjo's), the extra locked-in lateral control and subsequent power, and the lightness. Hovering around these three interests are also the possible extinction of the 75mm world (...

Re: Elan Ripstick mounting point question...

6'2" 160lbs I have the 180cm 88, which I skied all last year in the east, and the 180cm 96 now, which I have just started skiing. I love both of them. I really like how the shovel is about 25mm larger than the tail, it helps keep the tip up in softer snow/pow. Mounting wise-- always a fraught discus...

Re: Rossignol is going XP

I'm considering the Kom, but while at the local shop today the sales guy said it didn't have enough side cut, a big turning radius and was heavy. He pushed me towards the Rossi XP 120 Positrack. He said he's skied both. Man this ski is light. Gotta think it will get kicked around. @Woodserson obvio...

Re: X-Skins Knackered after less 70km!!!

The loss of grip wasn't really noticeable, but having to stop every km (or less) to removed a big chunk of draggy frozen snow from them was... lol. I didn't have any issues with the glue peeling though if I slipped back. The glue was 100% perfect. Look, I know you say you are new to nordic skiing, ...
