Guys Thanks for all the info on the early cdx 1. Not sure why I couldn't figure out how to post a pic. MDB, if you get a chance please put up an image of your 98 cdx-1, my ebay version looks slightly different than the one ski brain put up. so maybe its a 99? also, really appreciate the info on zeroing out the ski fin and boots to factory specs. The ebay ski came to me setup far from stock.

MDB Thanks for the info on the ski. Based on what you've said. my original ski is a 2000 then, upgraded flame graphics cdx-1, came with first gen animal boots. I will try out that original version I got from ebay once summer finally arrives in the northeast. It will be interesting to see how the 98-99 version compares.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/119gr1XF6WZ5vKsTfRjBgADVjQiMoEiha/view?usp=share_link

Finally (hopefully?) a picture of the ski

Guys I ski on a 2001? cdx that I bought brand new. I ski all open water now so its fine and great for me. I recently bought another CDX 1 as backup, from ebay. It was cheap. When it arrived I find it is an early version before they used the original HO standard threaded insert pattern and binding plates. Finally the question: does anyone remember the era of these early non standard cdx skis? When did HO introduced the standard binding plate/threaded insert? also, I seem to remember talk of the original cdx's having a different carbon fiber layup? this ski does feel just a bit heavier. I am planning to add threaded inserts that will align with the plates on my animal bindings. any info greatly appreciated. thanks. I will try and post an image of the ski. I just have to figure out how to do it.
