I know LB runs the Bergstrom's on his Simmons skis. Anybody else run them and have any comments as to their performance? _________________ Burn 'em and churn 'em

Most the people in my group run them. The durabilty is second to none. I can only that they are better then stock(I have only run Bergstrom), but so is a balled up piece of paper. Customer service is some of the best. When you call they give you alot of info on your sled and talked ablut darting and how to fix it. I will ONLY run Bergstrom on my sled _________________ Brian Arnold

Very long wearing carbide. There are different qualities of carbide and bergstrom uses about the hardest out there. _________________ 07 Attak GT

They are the very best. _________________ "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!" |

Thanks everyone! Bergstrom's it is, then.
Now...unstudded with the Ripsaw and with Simmon's skis...should I go with the 6 inch 90 degree carbide on the 7/16 bar...or the 1/2 inch bar?
I currently run the 6" cutters on both the inside and outside of the Simmons... _________________ Burn 'em and churn 'em

I'VE ALWAYS USED THE 1/2" BARS OVER THE YEARS!
6" IS ENOUGH WITH NO STUDS!

Anyone tried these new Bergstrom Advantage 3-Triple Point carbides? They seem to be promoting them as their very best.... _________________ Burn 'em and churn 'em

Are you runnin' picks, Indy? How do they compare to their standard carbides...wear longer, handle better...or both?
