Sure, they do make some junk but I would say that 95% of their hand tools are some of the best in the business. Yes they are expensive and no you don’t NEED them to do a job. I bought my initial set 25 years ago. These days, I only buy certain things from them. If you want to show any possible disgust about that picture, it should be for all of those Gearwrenches. Arguably the best ratcheting wrench in the business, imo, and ALL of the wrenches pictured there were bought brand new, in the package, for $85 shipped to my door. One of Bazos’ idiots probably lost their job over that deal because I can’t even begin to believe that I was the only one that saw that listing. Should’ve bought 3 sets instead of just two. You are talking to someone who buys their tools at auctions by the 5 gallon bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Just slapped the tunnel protectors on. Interesting epoxy method. It eliminated the need for my small, metric adjustable wrench. Still had to use the medium size one though. Waiting on my Stud Boys. Gonna just use this track cuz I’m 90% sure I’ll be working on a different machine over the summer.

That’s my other thing I’m thinking about for the new sled. My buddy has a 1.50 storm on his XCR and another on his 20 limited Cat both studded. That seems like a killer track. The 1.375 on my 18 was a great track but idk if I can get behind these 1.25s. My limited 600 has an ice slipper on it and if you want to go over 7mph into a corner with any comfortability or confidence I do not recommend that thing. I just moved to an area with all seasonal roads and field trails though so I’m pretty sure I could go with a 1” unstudded track and stock carbides and be fine.

The problem is people put too aggressive of a ski on their sled for their sled, setup, or riding style and end up hating them, especially with C&A's. I wish I could still get USI's at a discount, but no dice, so C&A's it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curve is local to me I’ve ridden a few sleds with them too and they work pretty good but they’re pricey and really fucking wide. I can get a set of C&A’s for like 285 local with mounts. Might grab some black on black for my sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a 2x4 under the last 2’ of one ski guides in the middle of the trailer. That way, one of the skis is higher than the other. We did that in a buddy’s sled trailer years ago because he always ran C&A or PP skis on his Cats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
