Mounting Pipe Cleaners

Right now my pipe cleaners are mounted -5.5 from true center. I'm working on boxes, and rails, and jumps right now and I can only ski when the spring time arrives, so there is not much powder I can ski in that time, and its not like PC's are good in the deep stuff anyways. So, should I get them center mounted? By the way I'm getting new skis next season too.

5'11 on 166?

Those are real short. I would sell them and get another pair (longer) and yes, center mount.

Pretty much the entire team mount them between 1 and 3cm back, according to the site. I'd go 1.5 back.

I mounted mine dead center and they ski great. Better all around than my foils mounted about 2cm's back.  Not to mention that they rip park also.

Thats one thing I love abour Armada's park/pipe skis. Even at a centre mount, they carve amazingly! I would go centre.

agreed yeah you can't deny what armada's pros do t-hall mounts them 2cm back so yep from 1 to 3 is best even for rails and boxes cause then you are more on the actual balance point of the ski where the sidecut rises to the highest point
