Ski’s are cheap.Building a track/flatland setup and leaning towards a riot but have never felt confident on the aro ski at high speed on hard pack. I'm 100% confident dragging bars in corners with the yeti ski. Any mods to improve the aro ski for this application? What are timbersled race crews running?
Do you know how much is required to mount yeti ski to aro spindle? Going with a riot s so can't just run the yeti spindle without having forks 2" up in the clamps to balance out. I know c3 had a kit at one time to mount yeti to mountain horse spindle but doubt anything available off the shelf now.Ski’s are cheap.
Run a yeti ski.
(I couldn’t get that amount of bite with my aro ski)
I just bought the rubber from yeti made for the TS spindle. Bolt it right on.Do you know how much is required to mount yeti ski to aro spindle?

I was not a fan of how darty the traverse (aro) ski was on hard pack either, just terribly unpredictable down the trail. Found a thread on this forum suggesting to cut the outer skegs down to 50% height and taper them from 0% (front of skeg) to 50% (middle of skeg). I did exactly that, before last season and it is much more predictable and stable on hard pack. I didn't notice any negative side effects in the deep powder either.To me I always felt the side wings touched down too soon in the hard pack taking weight off the center carbide. I cut the sides down pretty low and seemed better but I don't race. I still don't like it as much as the back country.
Thanks!!! Rubber is still available through c3. Went a little different direction this week with the prairie setup. Bought aro spindle, front end fit kit, yeti ski, paddle tire and 96 1.375" studs. Not 100% sure if it will provide the desired effect but might be the best for what I'm trying to achieve(closest summer moto feel in low/packed snow conditions). I run trelleborgs in fall and spring that work good but once im in more than 8" of snow the dirtbike feel goes away with the sinking front tire and constant wheel spin. Hopefully the sand paddle and studs give a fair amount of forward push to overcome the lack of footprint.I just bought the rubber from yeti made for the TS spindle. Bolt it right on.
Just cut your own rubber from a gripper ski durapro dampener if the adaptive yeti rubber is not available anymore.
