Where to mount 2010 Line Chronics.

+2 from center. i used to love that spot on my old chrons. good for park, still great everywhere.

personally, with that much time in the park, i would throw the bindings on the center. It's really your choice though, as +2 won't really be enough to mess you up in the park too bad

But the Chronics arn't symetrical so center isn't really ballanced.

go for +2, pretty sure you'll be happy

i centermounted my chronic kryptonites and they work great im about 80% park

Im the same as you, i spend about 70 to 80% of my time in the park and i have my chronics mounted
+2 from center. That is actually where they are meant to be mounted because their thinnest point isnt in the dead center of the ski its slightly back to give it the all mountain capability. Also the flex pattern isnt gonna be balanced at true center. I demo'd a pair that were center mounted before i bought mine and it felt like the tails were way too stiff because of how the ski is built. Mine at +2 are great because i can ski groomers with them really well (i used to race so i know how to actually ski out of the park and how a good ski should turn) but ive never had a problem with them in the park...there a great ski.

On my Chronics i am .5 cm back from True Center.

Does everyone mean +2 from center, or +2 from recommended? I wanted to go +2 from center (yes, ahead of center) but my shop wouldn't do it, so I went center. I would recommend going center, I have never seen the point of mounting like 1 or 2 back form center, just go all the way. And yea the tails are stiff, but that only helps you on the landings.

Why would anyone want to go +2 in front of center? that fucking stupid.

I used to agree with you, and i had my chronics mounted at -1 from center, but after the bindings pulled out i told the guy to remount directly inbetween the existing holes putting me at around +1 or 2 from true center.

I SWEAR they skied everything better (except for snow deeper than an inch, but why would i use them at all if there was more than an inch of snow on the ground?). I wouldn't recommend a mount like that for any other ski i have used, but for the chronics is was a total WIN

Okay, I'm sorry, I am SO confused.

Recap: I'm a complete Gaper when it comes to mounting.
When I bring my Chronics to my shop, what should I tell them.

I've decided to go with this +2 thing, so exactly what should I tell my shop?

Sorry for being such a dipshit.
And thanks for any legit answers.

Here's what you do, if you want it to be EXACTLY right, go get the following:
Masking Tape
Sharpie or a similar type marker (magic marker works too, it doesn't really need to be permanent)
a METRIC ruler (so it has Centimeters on it)
another straight edge (the flatter the better though, if you need to, used a piece of computer paper)

First thing you need to do is locate recommend or core center on the top sheet(should be a line on the top of the ski somewhere that say where it is), then take that ruler and measure 2CMs away from that line towards the tip, then take some masking tape and put in around that area (doesn't need to be exact), then take the straight edge and put in on the masking tape then take the ruler and measure out EXACTLY 2CMs forward from the recommended line, use the straight edge to help measure and try to keep it perpendicular to the edges (so it's at a 90 degree angle to the side of the ski), then remove the ruler but keep the straight edge exactly where it was (should be at exactly 2cm from the recommended line), then draw a line on the masking tape using the straight edge. Repeat with ski number 2, then keep them flat on the floor and push them up against the base of a wall lightly, look at the lines, they should match up, if not, figure out which one is wrong and fix it. Then go to the shop and say "I want them mounted at that line" while pointing to your line. Most fool proof way of getting them mounted EXACTLY where YOU want them.

(obviously this can be used with any mounting point, and is always done the same way with different measurements EXCEPT TRUE CENTER - measured dead center of the ski - that would be done by measuring the entire ski, cutting that number exactly in half then measuring to that point from either the tip or tail, then do the tape, line and stuff, and to double check measure from the other side, it should be the same measurement).

Thanks. That helped alot. +K

Use the searchbar and you will find out. There are many reasons, and most people just lack the ability to understand why, just like my shop. It's not fucking stupid.

Okay, did the whole tape deal, and then didn't know, +2 from Center? Or +2 from recommended?

I did and i still think its stupid.

ANd OP Go -1 from true center.

You want +2 from recommended (which i believe recomended on my chronics is -4 from true center so +2 from recommended or -2 from true center depending on how you look at it) If you did +2 from true center you would have more ski behind you than infront of you which would not work very well which is what i think Mr.pretzel thought we meant. No we do not mean to mount them anywhere infront of center just recommended. Hope that cleared up some confusion.

The recommended on the chronic is 62mm back so 6.2cm back.

Thanks to all.
