Yes it has "detents' that assure it locks into position. I ran it for one season before I removed to replace tri Hub with oversize wheel (and it no longer had clearance. Cant remember the price but I'll sell you mine for 50% off retail if you want to give it a shot.

thanks

Thick part to front or rear? I installed mine with Thick towards front of ski. With front lifted the skis seem to be flat. I had to grind down my bushings about 1/16 each side to get the spindle installed

Great news! I talked to dealer at Big East Show and they hadn't heard about this. Hopefully dealers will get info soon before snow flies.
