M series skis

[Blarson_76]

I found some cheap skis online from an m series and was wondering if they will fit on my 2012 proclimb. They are Simmons skis and they came off of an 05 m7. Not sure if the year matters or not but I don’t want to spend $500-$600 on skis either

Different saddles and rubbers.
Can be made to work but won’t be direct swap.

what goes into that? Does it involve immense amounts of trimming? Extra parts I need to order?

On slp skis it’s just swapping rubbers and spacers from ski to ski, one of the 8000 series rubbers required grinding some nubs off to fit that others didn’t, done so many I can’t recall specifics.

Where it’s Simmons I can’t tell you exactly, but it’ll involve getting your new rubbers to fit tightly into the old saddle plus rearranging spacers to fit or possibly getting new spacers. All should be available at hardware store or dealer for rubbers.

Tried using M-series saddles on my Proclimb when I first got it to swap my SLP skis over and cut the nubs off the rubbers. Couldn't keep the rubbers in place properly under the spindle (slipping out). Bought the proper saddles to address it. Only difference being the square holes for the nubs.
