    knees

    @skijay, Awesome news. I plan to look into it for my wife. I'm hoping our health care will cover after the deductible. This will be the year for us to do it. Many thanks.
  2. @skier2788 @AdamCord I use Mequiar's No. 9 to remove any hair line scratches (will not harm top at all). After that I use Turtle Wax Formula 2000 with SUN STOP. Your top will look like new. I never put wax on bottom. If I do get any marks on bottom I use a Mr. Clean pad to wipe it away.

    @coskier My wife just had Meniscus surgery and can hardly get up and down stairs. She did all the PT but still hurting.

    @SkiJay My wife needs a knee replacement but she is too young. Do you have any info on the place in Colorado
  6. @skialex, Took the fin out of the clamp, washed clamp and fin in vinegar, rinsed well, used a thin nail file to clean inside the clamp, put it all together and fin moves smoothly. @gyoung Watched @chrisrossi videos (excellent) and almost done setting the fin. I probably will get my buddy to help me finish but at least I am close.

  8. @thepantsmancan, you have to be nice or the DNR may pull your permit. DNR loves fishermen.

  10. Our course is on a public lake. We were bothered by one fishman all summer. We ski 6am to 730am. There is no one out there but 2 ski boats and 4 skiers. At 630am these guys start trolling down 2,4,6 then go down the boat guides when we spun at the end. I am driving, I see these guys and don't know what to. My skibud yells at me to hit them, not going to kill anyone, so I go around the outside of the turn balls. My skier had words with them as he passed. Can't talk to these Wally's, we go home, wipe the boat and go to work.

  12. @ToddL, Some neat fin designs. I've been skiing a long time but I'm really not very good. I need stick with the norm. Thanks.

  16. @Bruce_Butterfield, very interesting. A new fin is $35. I guess I will wait til ice out and try for awhile before I change anything. I will set to stock numbers. I will keep my previous ski until I know I like the Nano 1.

  18. @SkiJay, I did not record the settings. They were not very close to stock so I didn't trust them. Too late.

  20. @skijay, May be I should just get a new fin. I don't want to hate this ski before I ski it.
  21. When I tighten the bolts my numbers change. Should I not tighten so much?
  22. @Horton Fin is where @Skiep extra hole is except it is centered. I will clean clamp and fin as everyone suggested. I loosened all the bolts at same time, I will change what I am doing.
  23. I just bought a Nano 1 on SIA and am setting the fin to stock numbers. I noticed the fin was drilled adding a hole. The fin has 6 holes instead of 5. What will that do to the fin? I am also having a heck of a time setting the fin. I pulled it out and washed the clamp and the fin with vinegar and it seems to move easier but I can't get the numbers set. Every time I set one the others go crazy. What is going on? I need advice.
  24. @ToddL, Thanks for the info. I know I'd like the 66 Quest, so I'm looking on SIA for a good buy. Thanks again.
