Not to split hairs - or maybe to and this is TGR after all - but i am reading standard mount is 78.4cm from tail +/- 1cm so rearward suggested mount point 77.4cm from tail. I am measuring my boot center line @76.3cm after shifting the heel piece back to accommodate 306mm. Hence my “1cm back” comment.

yup, so reusing the holes would put you at about -12.5
classic chargy feel. May be a good match, depending on your style.
I’d say after you get them on snow for a day or two, if needed; it would be easy enough to pop an extra set of toe holes, keep re-using the heels, and go +1 to +1.5 from where you are now.

Agreed. I am not hand wringing over this. I was more so just reacting to the notion I may only be .5cm back whereas I am reading it that I am more like 1cm from your rearward -1 rec.
I typically prefer a more directional feel. Planning ~82cm from the tail on my 180 AM 100s
No qualms about dropping new toe holes 1.5-2cm forward bringing me to ~78. I definitely plan to try them first - hopefully without over thinking it.Uno mas

If you mounted at 77.4 from tail which would be within the recommended range and I had to move the heel back a full cm to go from a 296 to 306bsl, this all makes sense. Or I suck at measuring stuff but I tend to be particular about such things.
We are all cool as far as I’m concerned. The most important thing here is that I have 178cm HL FL105s, a ski I was just slightly too cheap to buy at “retail” given the 181cm Kastle BMX 105 HP already in the stable. Outlet pricing = resistance proved futile.
We should try to ski together irip, but I think you may be too far south. Mainly Smugglers (bash badge+) and Burke (family passes) for me, occasionally Jay (4 packs). Too cheap to buy day passes elsewhere and my fam obligations leave me small windows but I typically have mid week flex.Uno mas

I think we need to do a HL family VT/NE summit. All 5 of us maybe.
Harvest the ride.

Same as Arild. Given the flex pattern, I’d go -12 as the set back traditional mount with a head raptor boot.

Just for reference, I'm 203lbs, 177cm, ski 304mm bsl WCR 140s in their most upright position, and ski those at -11. I did ski them at -12 for a while, when my boots were set up more aggressively, but I had more luck adjusting to my other skis when the boots were a touch more relaxed (no spoilers, minimum forward lean, etc).

Let’s keep in touch, especially reach out if you’ve ever heading up to Jay or Smuggs (I realize no one goes out to their way to ski Burke, terrain in underrated but their snow totals are f’kn lame. True king of ec spring though if you dig bombing big steep EMPTY groomers )

Hi Marshal how many people would you need down to run a special long run of a 105 wide ski? 198-200cm? Has to be enough of us that would buy them.
I like the R99 Comp and they are still basically new after being skied 80% of the time last year but wouldn't want to go slightly wider but lose the metal.
Went for a dedicated short radius race ski this offseason but I think that is what my wish list for next offseason would be.

Having 192 fl105s, I'd be curious to know how many of those there are in the wild

Oh man. My first reaction was… pessimistic , haha.
But then, you got my wheels turning on what I’d personally want that ski to look like. And now I want to ski em myself.
the economics of such a thing are terrible of course.
But also, YOLO.
so pm me your email address some time

200cm FL105 in appropriate flex, giddy the frick up! Esp since my 192’s are unflappable at mach chicken. That’s a serious euro ski!

That would be a serious ski.
I'm on the 185, thinking about downsizing to 178?
5'10" 150#
I only have a handful of days on my 185s.
Nimble when driven, even zipper bumps, but maybe felt like too much tip.
Anyone been on both lengths and care to opine?
I'll have both in hand shortly as Marshal offers unheard of customer support.
These skis seem to run "long" as the 185 are almost as long as some 189s.
I've got 186 R110s and those are long for 186s as well.
Keep in mind I'm a long skis truck kind of guy and have probably been on skis that are "too" long all of my ski life.
Freshman year in HS my Dad bought me a pair of 190 Blue star Kniessels and said those should last you through HS.
Taught me to bend a ski.

As a data point, the 185 FL105 has the same length shovel as a 194 R110 when both are mounted on the line. The R110 just has more tail up and off the snow.

Why not bump the mount up a cm?
