Replying to ***** URGENT: Need help detuning my Wets *****
Sorry about the crazy title, I just need this info within the next 2-3 hours so I can pick up supplies on the way home (forgot I had the day off tomorrow and want to hit up Granite Peak).
I need to detune my Wets as I've only rode them once and that was just a few small features and mainly trying to get used to riding them. Now I'd like to take them to a few boxes and then eventually some rails/tubes but they definitely need a quick detuning and I'm struggling to find a straightforward reply on what the best way to go about it is.
From my understanding I should clean the edges, take a file and rub it under the bindings and under my boot at a 10 percent angle, and then take a gummy stone to it. Is that it? Should I do multiple 10 percent runs or just one? Do I need to wet it before grinding?
Also is there a specific file and gummy stone I should buy? Does anyone have a picture of their skis before detuning and a picture of what the finished project looks like? Sorry for all the questions, I've never had to detune a ski unnatty before.
EDIT: Not sure if it matters but I will be using these skis on groomers as well. Maybe 10-30 percent of the time depending on the day. I live in Wisconsin so I don't really need another ski for that but I might buy some Kartels or PB&Js later. I can always detune my Wets even more if I were to make them STRICTLY park skis.
