Hi
I have a 1999 Indy 500, with composite skis (from Polaris, they are the blue ones) and it seems like when I am riding on packed trails that my skis get pulled into the ruts and I am always bouncing around in the ruts. I talked with a guy at a dealership and he said that I could put double runners on it and that would solve the problem. However, they require 4 holes in the ski and he said the compostite ski only has 3 holes for the bolts. He said I would have to drill another hole in the ski to accomadate the runners, is this hard and OK to do? My sled is in Maine and I live in Boston, so I can't remember how many holes the skis have. I just got my sled last year and I am not sure what size carbides I have on it, maybe 6'', it has 96 studs. I took the sled in last year for a pre-season check and the shop said the carbides were OK and didn't need replacing. I only out 200 miles on it last year too, soft miles. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to stop me from constantly getting pulled into other sleds' ruts from their runners?
Thanks in advance.
