I know the 07-08 pipe cleaners have the 2.5 mm edge but i was wondering of the 06-07 pipe cleaners did as well.  Do you guys have any idea?

yea, the only construction difference between the PC and the AR5 is the faster base.

so if the pipe cleaner just has a different base could they handle rails?

so great for jump

Any ski will be able to handle rails... I have a friend that skied rails on them all year and they were fine.

The edges are the same, the base is faster, but what does that matter?
they are the same on rails as any other ski really.

the old pipe cleaners definitely have the 1.7 mm edge and the new ones definitely have the 2.5 mm edge.  fuck
