Just got mine and the sole line is around plus 10 from the centre of the six pack. The serial number and mid sole mark are way warong. I really don't know where to mount. Should I place the sole line mid six pack?
I plan on emailing Line today but hopefully someone here can help.

Well im guessing your not mounting reactors (thats a joke, no ragging). Well see what Line has to say. If that doesnt work out, i would mount them mid 6, It would seem pretty correct that way.

If i got the elizabeths i would only get the reactors for the 6 pack,its sick!

I wish I could. Due to lack of sales most shops in Canada will not be recieving the Reactor. I support the idea and was prepared to ride all my Lines with the binding but now I can't.

That sucks dude, but yah in between the two mounts would probably be super for everything

I recommend that your boot center is lined up between the 4 holes closer to center. I ride it there and I've never had a problem.

Nice I was hoping you would reply.
I have a couple pairs of dedicated park skis and I will have the Prophet 100 for pow/big mountain so the lizzie will be my all round everyday ski.
If you used the reactor did you try both positions?
I will probably end up mounting like you suggested.
Such a sick looking ski.
Thanks

I use reactors, and I have tried both positions. I pretty much stick to the closer to center position though. It's just more fun.

obviously its not your only set of skis.
What do you use to lizzies for mainly? Before I saw them I was planning on park only, but after touching them they may be my everyday ski.

I was in the same position as you. First few times riding them, I felt they were amazing in the park, and still are. But now I find that I'm taking them everywhere and loving it. They were flying through the powder last week at copper. Don't have any complaints about their performance anywhere.

Hey Josh, I have nobody in my area that can help me so hopefully you see this. If not I guess a long distance phone call is in order. I would email Line but you probably have skied the Lizzie more than most.
I got my skis mounted, said where I wanted it... BUT when I picked them up they were centre mounted (true) This position is about 3-5 cms in front of the middle point of the front six pack.(mid sole is 85cm)
With the side cut of the lizzie do you think I'm too far forward? The ski was not designed to be centred or was it?
I'm not going to be a dick and go chew the shop guy out as he dropped everything to do a quick (and free) mount and probably thought I he was doing me a favour.
I guess I should try it first but it looks weird. Any help would be great. Thanks.

i ve mounted them and skied them i would suggest measuring out core center and going 8-10 cm back from there. It sounds like you've got other boards and i personally like to be back on my pow sticks.

ya I have never been a huge fan of centre mounted skis so I might as well try. Most likely I am going to remount. Unless someone wants to buy some brand new lizzies centred with 914's for a price I can't ignore! haha

Well, mine are fairly close to center, but I can't say as I've ever tried them there. I would say it can't hurt to give it a try. It might ride really well there. Let me know what you decide to do. And if you need to call, you can always reach me toll free at 1-866-JIB-SKIS.

I'm going to bring other sticks with me and give them a try. If they were maybe 182-86 I wouldn't care so much but since they are kind of short I have very little nose. I may just buy some xxxxl oakley threads and rock it. I'lll let you know how they freeski centred. Thanks for posting.

ive skied them with the reactors in the back and center moutned positions. for the sake of the ski i would only mount it in center. thats what it is all about and thats how it performs best
All times are Eastern (-5)
