quick important question..Got (sick) 169 PEs, but ther mounted on the normal setting, and i want to get it re-mounted more foward, cause i have like no tail. The higest marked setting is +3, but its like only 1 inch foward, leaving hardly ne tail, and not really that centered. I really want to mount it foward though, ne suggestions.

man i said the same thing when i got mine (exactly like urs) but i decided i didnt want 6 more holes in the skis...plus, it feels really good once u get used to it. my old skis last year were center mount and it was hard but after like a day it was cool. hope that helps.

o yea will my ski really be weaker if i get it re-mounted and just have a good ski shop plug in the holes..O and should i leave the small riser plates in, or get it drilled directly into the ski?

well taht depends on ur skiing...center mount is for park only and switch riding...back a little (normal pe) is for all around. u could go +1 or +2 and give a little more tail. my first time on them i had to lean forward alot but not anymore. its great like it is.

+4 or +5 is something i would like to go to if i re-mount my ish..How will it effect my carving though? I love to rip nice carves a lot 2, but i also want these skis a lot more centered. thanks..

yes i do know that center is for park..um i like to ski. but like..on the PEs (or ne ski) is it alright to measure and mount bindings, even where there are no numbers marked? not a lot of experience with mounting skis.
