Going crazy for a -4 mount

Yes guys I got my k2 Reckoners 102 mounted -4.25 cm from true center (midsole line) instead of -2.15 from true center (team line).
Do you think it makes a huge difference in terms of spinning / playing around with the skis or it's everything just in my head?
Remount or not remount that is the question

Try it first, it probably won't make as big of a difference as you think. If they ski funky and you can't get used to them, remounts aren't as big of a deal as people think. I bet they'll be fine though

You're going to hate it.

Just playing, I demo'ed the Reckoners before I got a pair and rode em at the recommended line, they rode just fine. You know I mounted mine at team line just in case I ran into any of you on the slopes tho.

leave them, chances are you will like them that way, and if you decide you hate it you can remount em, not a huge deal

if it's nagging the hell out of you right now, you could go ahead and remount now but i wouldn't overthink it, honestly. i'd prefer them at the back line unless i was switch like, literally half the time. it'll ski better esp in soft snow with it back

You'll be fine. The "Recommended" mount is just a bit in front of where you mounted them and a lot of people prefer the Reckoners mounted like this.

That’s farrrrr back, but these are also powder skis. Idk what they perform like but try it first, a lot of pros ride park skis -2cm from center so I can’t imagine it actually fucks up your spinning *that* much

The diff between mounts that are 2 cm apart is pretty subtle. It’s not worth the extra holes unless you ski them a bit, say this is really not my jam, and then go at least 4 cm away from your previous IMO

Also depends on where you'll be riding most of the time
