im 6' tall and going to be shreding last years k2 shreditor 102's 177cm and use the 70% all mountain / 30% park. I have some new FKS 140's to throw on there as well. Should i mount True Center or like 1.5cm back? I want to be able to use them for when there is some pow too? Not sure what to do. Will they still perform will in some pow even if they are mounted true center? Please Help!! I was told not to mount to far back (2-2.5cm) cause they are rocker and ill whip out a bunch if i land to far back?

I also have a 102mm ski (faction 2.0s) and am mounting them with FKS 140s... just wondering are you using the 115mm brakes? I guess its the only real option but im a bit concerned about the difference.

im mounting centre, but I will be in the park more.

If you can find 100mm brakes, use those. 115s will overhang and may catch on switch landings.

Yeah I'm using 115mm brakes. If they over hang to far and catch when I'm landing switch, I plan on bending them inward a little

Honestly id go 1-2 back. You do the majority of all mountain so it will be more beneficial that way. If you have all mountain skis center mounted in the past and were fine, you could go that route too, otherwise go 1-2 back

yeah its really annoying as the FKS brakes only come in 95mm or 115mm. Don't think that 95mm would bend out far enough.

And I would mount -2 if I were you tbh.

unless you plan skiing 100% in the park go 1-2 back.
