first off i looked in the searchbar and found nothing,

i have a pair of 188 jp v juliens and im not sure on where to mount them, i was thinking about -3.5 from true center, i want to be able to ski switch in powder some, but i will mainly be using these for skiing powder and lines normal(not switch), any input would be appreciated.

Measure 88cm from the tail and make that your new mounting line. This has been mentioned many times before, strange how nothing would come up on the search bar.

Cause the mounting lines have been known to be off, mine were more than 1 cm so, so you measure from the tail to make sure you don't fuck up your mount with 1 ski -5 and the other -6.

dudes jesus christ. I just said read Veterans posts, he answered the question already. There have been a bagillion threads on this I swear to god. Mount 88 from the tail, or whatever he said. That is the sweet fucking spot for 90% of the people that have them. Go on Armadas site, and read what their riders mount them at. It is the same spot. 88 from the tail, or recommended assuming your mounting lines aren't fucked up. Mine weren't, many are. If you wanna ride switch more, mount them up a bit, it is all personal preference, but to be safe 88 from the tail. Ight?
