hey guys i plan on picking up a set of kartel 108s this weekend and wondering what you thought about mounting point. i had a pair of 2012 jefferys (110mm) before mounted on recommended and they felt maybe a bit far back for spinning and jibbing. is the kartel mount point further forward does anyone know? i was thinking maybe 1.5 ahead of recommended

for reference i am 6'1" 190lbs and ski western canada. really anywhere on the mountain but i like to go fast and jump and trick off everything. i have a park set up centre mounted that i enjoy for that and it's super fun but would like a bit more ski in front of me for charging through crud and whatnot.
thank you friends

-2.5 from center is a great place. That is where mine are and I love it.

I ski Kartel 108's and my older Jeffrey 122's both at -2.5 from true. I'm riding backwards for at lease part of every run so I prefer it closer to center and for me -2.5 has been money. I'm on 191's though so I've got more tip to play with than most, for what it's worth.

I ended up mounting mine at -2.5 and they ski great. Kind of wish I would've gone with the 186 instead of the 181 though.
