Base bevel tuning

um i think you got those backwards.  the base bevel is always smaller than the side.  like race skis are normally something like a 1 degree base and a 3 degree side.  that is what i have on my race sticks.  i found that i really like a 1 degree base because it keeps your skis a lot more true when going straight, especially with twin tips.  twins have a tendency to knock around and catch the tails when you are on cat tracks or just going straight.  with a 1 degree base it gets your edges just enough out of the snow that you can go straight with your skis gliding perfectly straight and not knocking around.  i noticed a huge difference when i got a bevel on my pollards, so i got one on my elizabeths too.  i wouldnt put too much of a side bevel on them tho just because you cant really ski twins like you would a race ski.  i would put a 1 on there if i were you because when you keep your edges at 90 degrees they will last a lot longer.  the most i would go is 2 on the side because you probably wont like having anything more for when you are skiing switch cuz its much harder to lay your edges over and effectively use them.  i have a 1 degree base and side on mine and like it a lot.  also just remember if you dont like a smaller bevel you can always increase to like a 2 or 3 side, but if you start at a 2 or 3 side you will kill your edges getting it back to a 1.  i hope this helps.

like he said, 1 on the base 90 on the side.

aight.

just do 1 1 thats what i do for all twin tips and snowboards in the shop i work in.

who waxes these days?

no need to tune in one day skis get f ed up anyway its a waste of time and money

i dont do rails mainly because i suck, and also because i dont want to buy new skis every year, so it works for me and others like me.  the other thing is with a 1 degree base you are less likely to catch your edge on a rail.
