Evening FTE addicts :P
I'm worried to say I might agree with ya Sherwin. I really think rebound is important for multiple riding styles/days. Only bad part is the Float 3's are 200Kms old
My stockers if I was just trail, making miles I'd have a setting. Click Click and i'm done.
If I was out playing/jumping, I'd adjust and be done. I was all over the settings today with the fronts and just not comfy. I may take some pressure off the front tomorrow with the skid strap and see what she's like. I've never had that darting issue this bad before. Even learning how to set up. Only been riding for 4 seasons now and thought I had it figured out
Thanks Brett. I finished off the day at 70PSI and it actually was better, just too low/darty in the front.

Stock piggy backs in the rear. Rebuilt/revalved in the spring.
Rear sag, spring set 1/4" from sloppy.
Medium on big springs.
Rebound on rear shock 11 clicks out and
strap in middle of 5 holes.
Going to lower the front of the skid tomorrow to lighten up the front end.

Gotcha, I upped the psi in my rear float to get some more pressure on the skis last winter, well my rear is set up pretty stiff now. Seemed to help with some of my darting...
Sounds like you know more about dialing in a sled though, I'm still learning, lol.

Nite all. It's nice to see all the chatter on the forum. It reminds me of my youth. Live to sled, sled to live! We used to talk about jetting and clutching at the cottage till the cow's came home. This activity is really warming my heart. You guy's bring back a lot of fond memories. Thanks a bunch. If there's a ride happening for the FTE dude's, I'd like to know. Curtis, call me when you come into town. I live off the North Perimeter. PM me or call me at work 800.Three four three. 93 . 43. Have a great nite all.

Good evening Brett, Colin, Curtis, Grant, Gerry, Randy, Sherm and Steve, it`s time to turn out the lights again. 
It is great to have all this activity, it got pretty quiet here for a while.

That was a cool pic, Morris. Me and a few buddies build an igloo once. Shovelled a mound of snow until it was about 9-10' high, the last foot or so we laid spruce boughs and willows over it for some strength and binder to the snow. When we had it done, the walls were roughly 2' thick overall. We lit a fire in there and sat around in our house clothes. Perhaps the warmest shelter I've ever been in.
