Convinced myself I need a pair of Jeffrey 118s. Sold out on the site - seems like they only way to get a pair is custom - does anyone have an idea of lead times (or where the heck I might be able to find a pair for sale)? I know with supply chain issues, covid in general, etc. lead times are probably going to be long and also hard to predict.
Site currently says mid-February, however I leave for a 10 day trip on Feb 12 so about hesitant to pull the trigger on something I might get a couple of days out of until next year. Can anyone possibly provide a timeline if you recently ordered customs?
(Or if for whatever reason someone has an unmounted pair of J118s to sell, ha!)

thanks all
Okay listening to the podcast now, seems the J118 isn’t in production yet so totally understandable that they aren’t for sale on the site. Well, if anyone has some info on build times, would be beyond appreciated.

I feel like I made a mistake throwing kingpins on my Woodsman 108s because Ive barely touched them, but I also swapped a pair of STH2 16s onto a pair of Ravens that I might honestly swap my kingpins to and take those/put those on the 108s and finally let them puppies breath.

The way I see it, pin bindings should never go on on3ps. The typical skier riding on3ps is way too aggressive and dynamic for pins and they simply hold the ski back a lot

I wouldn't mind the tour woodsman but yeah, I do kind-of agree. I also was able to get my Ravens fully base-repaired and waxed up, its a 185cm ski so my BD skins will still work, and I think that ski is meant to have a pin binding on it too, but it'll be mount number 3, but I don't plan on ripping that thing hard at all

Lol I had kingpins on my Woodsman 108’s last year and when I brake checked a tree, the bindings held while the ski did this. Pin bindings are fine, stop being a pussy and send it.

Interesting. The other thing about pin bindings is when ice builds up it sucks. But so do other hybrid bindings. Ice just sucks in general

RudyGarmischAnything under 100 underfoot is basically built to order, so if you want one order one.
Nah I cant afford it. I mean 750$ for a pair of skis is much but pay plus 300$ just because its custom and just because it isnt stock i mean its ridiculous…

ON3P runs a sale on customs during the summer. And if it's $300 over a stock build then you chose to many upcharges.
xonskier78No if I buy j96 on stock its 749 and custom starts by 899 plus park detune 50 makes 949$. So its 200$ for the exact same ski. I mean wtff?!!
Every step in the process takes additional time for custom, as well as disrupts the standard production line. You could wait until they run their summer sale on customs, and detune your own ski.

Jeffrey 96 don’t come with a park tune out of stock. It’s $150 more, and for that you get to choose your bases, sidewalls and topsheet. Find any other company offering custom options for that little over stock MSRP.

Also - check evo maybe?
Bro the customs are worth the small price just for the sick top sheets and bases you can get
whatsamonadBro the customs are worth the small price just for the sick top sheets and bases you can get
yeah but you pay an extra 100 bucks for bases and another 100 for the special tops... If I order jessie 96 in stock its 749$ and if i order the exact same ski but on custom I pay 899$ so its plus 150$ just for custom...
Ye they're probably still so backed up with custom orders but that's just speculation. I did see this, I know it doesnt help but it's pretty cool https://shop.on3pskis.com/products/mango-trees

I'm bumping this thread again specifically to talk about how rad the woodsman 108s are with kingpins. I finally took mine out today at snowbird with all sorts of spring conditions like freeze/thaw, ice, slush, etc., and had an absolute time. Great skis, and you are absolutely right. I'm going to keep them as is and just work on my boots. Super fun skis. Thank you ON3P.
SessionI sold my beloved 108's. But I have some 110 customs in the pipeline. Might be able to ski them one time before the season ends.
Mine came pretty quick.. wanna say 2 1/2 weeks. Hand flexing these 110's versus my stock stiffness 98's has me pretty excited for some butters and pow skiing.

ColingarnesDefinitely. Was pretty set on line sir Francis bacons then was like why not just soften up another pair of wider Kartels?
I’ve got Jeffrey 98s and 108s I’ve wanted a pair of bacons for awhile just for that turn radius ripped straight from the Sakana. But I’ve been considering replacing the 108s with a custom soft 102 or 110.
