Where did you mount them? Recommended or dead center mount?

depends on what you're gonna use them for.

I have mine at dead center, cus I use them for park.

If they will be your 1 ski quiver, mount like -2.

If you freeride, mount at recommended.

Had mine mounted at -3 from center for more all mountain.
Once they started gettin really beat up, I moved to dead center.
Felt different at dead center the first day. Different in that it felt weird when initiating turns and it seemed like my tails were crossing more frequently. Had to make minor tweaks to my skiing technique during the first day. But now the ski fine mounted at dead center.

Id go with -1 or -2. My friend has them with Schizo's and he doesnt even like moving them to dead center for park because he says it feels too damp and is more difficult to initiate turns with.

They were my only ski all of last season; go recommended if you're in the same situation.

I would go maybe -2. You shouldnt notice too big of a difference in the park but it will help you with the trees for sure

i went dead center, and its just fine for me, riding 90% park. turn initiation at slow speeds can be a bit tough though

Im already used to the wierdness of iniating turns at slow speeds with  my invaders so that wouldnt be too much of an issue.

Im just worried about mounting them back from center because ive been used to a center mount for so long. Im worried it would make spinning and rails harder

I actually went from invaders to chronics as well, and my chronics are noticeably harder to turn than my invaders, at least at slow speeds.

if i did it all over again, id probably choose -1. you wont notice such a small difference.

Chronics or cryptonite?

I have 08 Chronics and mounted dead center, I wouldn't go any other way. Still easy to carve.
