I have upload a video from Leonid showing how he steel scrapes skis. I
have reduced the size so it doesn't take up so much bandwidth - it's now about 1.7MBs. You may download it at http://www.nordicskiracer.com/Equipm...elscraping.wmv Mike Regarding your point #5 - it has been clear to me that your metal scraping process cannot be the same as mine. |

Ian Harvey of Toko US has a point by point analysis of Kuzmin's thesis:
http://www.skinnyski.com/gear/display.asp?Id=4430. An interesting point: he waxed Kuzmin's wife's skis for the Birkie a few years back and says it took 3 days to undo the damage Kuzin had caused. Gene "Edgar" wrote: Zach may be too busy to post his response to the Kuzmin paper on steel scraping being better than waxing. The paper's abstract says that stonegriding and waxing are not as good as an alternative treatment. Kuzmin theorizes that steel scraping is better than waxing because it picks up less dirt. Zach's website has an interesting experiment and commentary cahllenging the Kuzmin thesis. http://www.engineeredtuning.net/Basematerialdemo.htm Peer review reports should be interesting. Edgar |

It's nice of Ian to take the time to do his write up.
It always takes a lot longer to write than for someone to read. I just wanted to add a comment about the Red Creek steel roto brush. As Ian highlights Kuzmin used it after waxing and Ian takes him to task on this. My comment is that Red Creek has been very specific about when a steel roto brush should be used. It has never been suggested that a steel roto brush be used after waxing with warm waxes. Which makes it all the more questionable why Kuzmin did this. Rodney |
