Put on some shims and decent carbides and the ski's are fine, so quit whining! lol.
No seriously, last year on the '09 Vector I rode the whole year with std. carbides, never put the Stud Boy deuce's on, and I thought it handled fine with no darting. All the wailing and knashing of teeth on TY about darting you would of thought I'd be in the trees and wrecked. I got some good wear out of std. carbides, thank god I didn't listen to all the internet whiners blowing problems from years ago totally out of proportion.
