Does anyone know the suggested mounting 4 the Line Sir Francis Bacon.  Just put them on lay away 2day.  Dude even gave me $30 off 4 some reason.  I was gonna get the prophets but i think these are much better 4 my style of riding.

Maby I just didn't have enough time on them, but these seemed a bit odd.  What are they marketed for?  All mountain/pow jib ski?  Oh and mounting some Line skis fairly far past the reco. mount sometimes fucks up the flex badly.  I'm gonna go look up more reviews to see what people say about these..

Eric Pollard rides them 2.5 cm back from center or a very balanced feel FYI

For the bacons i would suggest 2.5. I run 1.5 back on my eps. For both skis i find it is the best way to balance swing weight without compromising edge control/sidecut contact. It really is personal preference, but what ever you do dont run true center on these skis. It makes the tail edges super slippery. Hope that helped! Cheers.
