Removing some carbide

[CR125HAYDEN]

Hi,
I'm a newbee, with just a couple of rides so far. I put new carbide runners on my 98 indy 500 and made the mistake of getting the roetin XPR1 w/ 6 1/2 of carbide. My track is not studded and the ride is terrible (Darting and jerking on packed trails). I checked the alignment and adjusted the suspension, did not help.
My question is can a use a green grinding disc and remove 1" from the front and 1" from rear of each carbide section?

Thanks, David

I've got a 9" HD grinder & I've tried... that stuff is TOUGH.

It takes a lot of work just to get a sharp edge off of it (was tearing up my sled deck), taking off an inch would be a beeeeoootch.

The carbide is not your problem. Go to the Bergstrom Skegs site and read the section about shimming your skis. You will see an instant improvement.

If you check out HCS there are several threads with pictures.

Thanks,
I never considered shims, I will try it next weekend. The darting has been driving me crazy.
