***SOLD***

I got a new set of boots this year and unfortunately the BSL is too long for these skis, so I'm going to sell them. I successfully fit a 302mm BSL in here, but a 306 mm BSL is just slightly too big.

Asking $400 for the skis and bindings. Preference is local sale around Denver/Front Range, but will ship at buyer's expense if necessary. I will sell the Wardens separately, but only after the Protests find their new home.

I originally purchased these from galibier_numero_un, here's a link to his very detailed FS thread regarding mounts: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...et)?highlight=

Pictures of the skis are below since I did put new Wardens on them since buying.

The maggot consensus is that these 187 Protests are from 2014. They're a robust layup - coming in at what I believe is slightly on the heavy side for a Protest - at exactly 10.0 Lbs.

I picked these up from someone who claimed to have 5 days on them. They look more like 5 hours, and I put two mornings on them. I may be the only maggot who hasn't bonded with Protests. I've been told to give them 4 or 5 days. Call me impulsive.

Mounting Details:

The "live" mount is for Wardens with inserts at BSL=296 and -1.5cm from the dimple.
The dimple on these skis is at -7.5cm (100.5 from the tip, straight-pull).
I mounted them at -9cm from center (102 from the tip, straight-pull).

I'm calling these 2 mounts: (a) 2.5 mounts at the heel - 1.5 mounts are plugged, and (b) 1.5 mounts at the toe - two of the original holes were reused.

The "live" mount is for Wardens with inserts.
The original mount: one STH12 toe and two STH12 heel mounts.
I was able to re-use 2 of the holes at the heel for the Warden mount and two of the holes for the toe.
The holes were filled with the xxx-er approved technique: West Systems Marine Epoxy with chopped up fiberglass.

Note: to make -1.5 for 296 BSL (Lange XT 130 Freetour) work (while reusing two of the existing heel holes), the heels were positioned a bit "forward". There's 5mm of remaining rearward adjustment, so they'll fit a maximum BSL of 301mm without re-drilling.

Note - the dull section in the binding mount area is from a final finish/leveling with a random orbital sander after filling the unused holes with fiberglass & marine epoxy.
