10 mm baskets on 7 mm poles

Classic Roller Skis: Swenor v. Ski-Go v. V2
For what it's worth, I have some experience with both V2 and Swenor.
I have a pair of the original V2-900s with steel shaft and VERY slow wheels that I use from on a hill right outside of my...

Pilot bindings on rollerskis
For what it's worth, I've always found that aluminum is soft enough to
allow self tapping with the normal binding screws. I drill the pilot
hole at the recommended diameter and screw away, with no...

Regarding "filling up the fish scales" I have an old pair of fish-

the pattern was way too...

I've put about 200,000 miles each on two cars in the last 25 years: a
1984 FWD Saab 900 with 4 snow tires in the winter and a 1998 AWD
Subaru Outback with all-season tires. Both cars had...

Actually the Universal Sports Nordic feeds would be better WITHOUT the

drive, walk, and/or ski to the ice with your boots on and then just

I've used mine just once at a rink and wasn't too pleased with the
