Remount my pipe cleaners?

Hey guys, i just bought a pair of pipe cleaners off ebay and their mounted. Only thing is, the skis are mounted at the recommended line, and their pretty much brand new and id rather not remount them if i didnt have to. Ive been used to skiing center mounted or nearly centered park skis in the past and basically im just wondering if its worth it to remount these further forward or just leave them as they are. Do they ski well on the recommended line? Im going to be using them mostly in the park, with a little bit of just cruising and screwing around. Any suggestions welcome, thanks!

well the first question is do your bindings fit the holes? and does the bsl of your boot fall into the size range of these bindings if they are adjustable? if they dont, then theres no question you will have to remount them in order to ski with bindings conecting you to your skis.

Exactly. Ride them a bit to find out where you want them mounted. You might like them mounted there. Personally, I wont ride a ski that is mounted any FARTHER back than true centre, as in it has to be mounted true or forward of centre. Ive ridden my T-Halls at +1cm of centre, and i just mounted my Ar6's +2cm of centre. Who knows, my next set might be +3cm of centre. I think that its all trial and error. You will eventually find out where you like your stuff mounted. Remember, every ski ride different, so that might sway your decision on where you mount.

Who is telling everyone that it really harms a ski to remount? There seem to be a lot of comments like this lately. I have ridden skis with three mounts and they are fine. I'm 6'4, 185 and ride pretty hard. Remount if you don't like the current position!
