Ordered a pair of the armada b-dogs yesterday with some rossignal fks 140s, does anyone have any idea on where i should get them mounted? I know they are not symmetrical but i still kinda want to get them mounted dead center, either that or a cm or two back.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated +k

I was wondering the same with my chronics, got them mounted centre for better and quicker turn initiation since the weight is closer to the tips contact point. Really depends on how much park/all mountain skiing your'e up to. just my $0.02

pretty much 95% park 5% all mountain, thinking about it now im leaning more towards dead center because im mainly skiing park and ill mostly be hitting rails. thanks for the response +k

For sure dead center. However, A couple cm really doesn't make a crazy difference. My urban skis are about 2cm back and I never notice.

i got some alpha xs which are the exact same shape as the b dogs and i wanted to get them center but i learned that the skis arent made to be center mounted, the recommended range is - 2.5-5. i decided to get them 2.25 back lol.

I would definitely go dead centre. I mounted my Al Dentes ( very similar to B-dogs) 3cm back because i was about 50-50 park and all mountain. This worked for the most part but now Im more of a park skier and i definitely notice the difference when hitting rails you have to lean more on the toe. so with rockered skis like the b-dogs I would definitely go with the centre mounts.
