Back in the day, carbides were very expensive with a teenager riding a 70's Polaris with a cleated track. The standard skegs might last a season or might break your ski in half if they wore out prematurely. Along came Bergstrom, who welded a bead on the bottom of a standard skeg - giving us better wear and better steering at a price significantly lower than carbides. Great product from an innovative company.
7-8k kilometers on bergstroms? I've had 3 sets and my best was about 1500. The current set is pretty worn after 600km. They are pretty amazing when new though.
If that "greasy" ol triple with a carb keeps me sledding without trying to find $25k for a new one I'm all over it. I'm fairly new to this sport and the costs of new rides is mind bending. With all due respect something your show and others like it are missing is the manufacturers are pricing themselves out of existence. Snowmobiling needs a comeback and unfortunately it's on the wrong path. I'm a gear head thru and thru and the reason I don't own a muscle car anymore is simple. Pricetag. Focus more on how to have fun on machines of all years and I think you'd attract more viewers IMO. Several youtube channels focus on this and their viewrship is huge.
Nice to see Bergstrom on the show I love the triple points and shims on my sled.
Thanks for the great show. I love the plywood on the overhead door where the skis went through!!!!
Yeah. Big garage doors are expensive!!! Lol
Nice wear bars. Are they pricey?
Will have to check to see if they have apps for older sleds like my Phazer😅
Your are lucky to have some snow so you could tried it out. Maybe we will see you on the Valcourt oval next year.

We took our skis off with the rod on and hard surfaced them in the late 70's. Farmer with a welder.
@@gordonmckay914the ole man got pissed when we started stealing his electric fence post to make our own wear rods.

Lol!
I was hoping to see a episode riding in Ontario to promote small businesses as I'm sure they could you the help with this terrible winter we've had !

I got 13,000 kms to a pair of bergstroms in 2022. 1500 kms? I've never seen those bars wear that quickly.
@@jessebuchman6744 and you still have all three points? My carbides last but they get ground pointless pretty quick.
@@doclobster yup all three points!
Well done look good and fonction also.💪👍😎👏
Snowmobiles??? The way winters are now it's like owning a boat living in the desert...
Giv er the biscuits!!!
C’mon Jeff, straighten that bumper, it looks like hell and it’ll give you 5 kph.
All u will ever get is last place on that heap 😆
Snowmobile is getting too costly for the average person.
You got that right...
