Hi,
Does anyone know what the factory bevel (base side and lateral) is for a pair of Head Monster IM70's?
I need to do my first full tune on my ski's in two weeks.
Thanks.
Sidney

I would probably for aus go 1 base and 2 side.
My new fischers i ramped up to 3 on the side, which give more grip on ice etc. The im 75's i have were about 2 when i measured them (new).
This will do for most conditions. I think HH goes 3 or 4 on the side and maybe down to .5 on the base.
Though he doesn't have much edges left.. The problem is your edge isn't as durable at more accute angles.
I have found online edgetune http://www.edgetune.com which looks very interesting. If anyone has experience with this compared to hand tune, pleae share. It is probably cheaper than all the gear i have racked up.

Tell me about the damage australia does! Love the rocks in the bump runs, just hidden so you can't see them.
I had my heads done at Jindy sports last year, excellent job. Winterstieger ceramic grind, and much cheaper than in sydney. Only about 50$ i think.
Other option is you just get the base ground and do the edges yourself.
If you keep even just your side edges sharp and bases waxed, that will be better than 80% of skis on the hill.
Hopefully I might fly back in sept for a ski, might see you on the slopes.!

Youll figure it out when you try it...
Lines down the base are just the stonegrind or crosshatch pattern. Stops the skis sticking to the snow, breaks up the surface tension bewtween the ski and snow etc etc.
New skis have this, though might be more noticeable if you got a 'heavier' structure, which should suit aus conditions I think.

Is it because the sessions are file based and not stored in a DB? Would explain why once you are logged in , you are 'logged out' again, esp if this site is on more than one server/s.
