Would it be a decent day tour setup for the kartel 108's mounted -2.5 from centre with frame bindings? also is it okay if i was to remount the skis with frame bindings.

I have some Bent Chetlers with Dukes mounted -2cm back from center. Haven't done crazy touring but I like where they're mounted for in bounds and slack terrain. Ideally if it is primarily a backcountry touring setup you'd want to set them further back, but the -2cm has worked well for me.

If you doing a lot of switch skiing and landing switch mounting -2.5 from center wouldn't be a terrible idea.

However ON3P is the one ski company where I always go by the recommended punch mark cause they know what they are doing.

If you've already ridden them at recommended and feel they don't give you enough tail then go to the -2.5. Otherwise I'd say go the punch mark.

If you dont mind me asking how far back is the recommended line from centre? Also feel free to yell at me if its on their website.

I don't believe (how far back) is on there website but if you grab the phone number off the website and give them a call they would be more than happy to tell you. Otherwise pm iggyskier (head ON3P) or the on3p profile and they should reply in a day or two. ON3P has the best customer service of any ski company.

You can get by just fine with that setup, but I'd find a really good reason to convince yourself to pick an arbitrary number of -2.5 rather than going with recommended.
