Performance by Ken Jones tunes thousands of skis a year, let us tune yours! ***side note: some tuners mistakenly use detune to mean deburr, but several good beatings should cure this.Our expertly trained staff have been tuning skis for a combined total of over 100 years! They take pride in the work that they do to ensure that you have the best on hill experience. Now if the industry could just beat any tuners (professional or not) that use detuning (including the word detuning) in their course of tuning skis or talking to their customers. I wouldn’t as I find the extreme side base combinations more than enough, without any of the potential negative drawbacks of doing this. BTW some extreme skiers play with intentional burrs to achieve even better ice hold, this sort of falls into true extreme as it can be a bit hit and miss depending on how and by whom it’s done. This said, deburring is something different, this depending on how you sharpen is required to remove random razor blade edges caused during sharpening, which will/can cause the ski to be unskiable. Now how bad is detuning on your skis, if it been done aggressively, I’d be insisting on new skis as the life has been shorten excessively and you didn’t ask for it, if it’s minor getting them retuned at a proper ski shop and never darken the first shop again (after a refund has been given), if its very minor ski them till a tune is required and visit a different shop that has a tuner that knows not to detune. Side/base angles are as follows:ģ/1 most common good all around set up (what set for almost everyone else)Ĥ/0.5 for very aggressive setups (what I ski every day),Ģ/2 (generally park riders) as the edge gets rounded anyway riding rails so who cares. This allowed razor edges, great ice hold and skis that allow some skier error without trying to kill you. Smart skiers the a better solution was the start of the Base Bevel. The advent of shaped ski caused detuning to surface again but with the same negative aspects. Additionally on straight skis not detuning was ok. When it started, side bevels had just started 30’ish years ago and I unfortunately tried it, quickly discovering that any benefit of the side bevel was negated by the detune on ice. Do a search on this site and you will see several threads on this, unfortunately.ĭetuning was introduced many years ago on straight skis to soften turn initiation (make skis less hooky.
