I have a pair of chronics(121-92-117) center mounted but mounted backwards. will this make that much of a difference? i can have them remounted but if it won't be that big a difference I'm not going to worry about it.

any input?

will they ride completely different?

uhh, lolwut? one of the skis is backwards? chronics aren't symmetrical at all. the flex might be, but there's a clear front and back. if a shop did that for you, get new skis.

At minimum they should remount them for free. I'd think the ride would be quite different.

skis were given to me but I'm just trying to see if that 4mm will make a significant riding difference.

Think maybe he means they're mounted back of center or midsole and not backwards like pointing the wrong way. OP if that's what you mean then -4 of dead center isn't optimal for park but do able for all mountain. Pretty sure that the midsole mark on those is like -6 from center anyway. At least previous years were.

lol thats a great response...and they are mounted backwards as in 117 tip-92-121 tail

i just spoke to a few ppl who said you may notice the difference but it might not be that big of a deal since its on 4mm

Its not like it will be impossible to ski with them, but they are going to ski like complete akward shit compared to how they would ski mounted right.
