Skin width for 186 4frnt EHP

[D(C)]

115 mm skins are cheap right now. I'm looking to use them on 186 4frnt EHPs - 129-116-123. Will this work or should I forgo the deal and get 130s?

Sorry in advance for the JONGy thread.

How cheap? And where?

So I bought one set of nylon (for my Turbos, which will see more spring tours) and one set of mohair mix (for my EHPs, mainly for midwinter use). I look forward to comparing.

Can someone tell me if I made a mistake with the 115 width for my EHPs?

I don't think you made a mistake. 1mm narrower skins underfoot allows for better edging when traversing. Additionally the ehp has very little sidecut, so the tips and tails aren't that much wider than underfoot. You'll be fine with 115 skins. I've previously gotten skins with this type of fit, also because they were really cheap. They worked fine.

So close to pulling the trigger, but the shipping charges to the time2climistan province in canukistan, will put them at about the same price as MEC.

Yes, their Canadian shipping is ridiculous. I shipped to a place in WA and will go pick them up. Can you do something like that?

Not a mistake. I've used 115 glidelites on my EHPs with no issues.

Edit: And I actually cut those down for my turbos and used one pair for both.
