I used to use Bergstroms years ago. Now I use Woody's. Just trying to see which one is more popular. Thanks.

Changing to Woody's from Shapers because they are cheaper. If the are the same length carbide can you really tell the difference?
Burnt Turkey
Woody's dooleys (sp) - 6 inch.
joerocket
Long ones. 8 or 10 inch. Probably cheap because they all wear out so fast. I think they are woodys. I need new ones especially after riding with no damn snow.

ZR Rider
8" Stud Boy Shapers... they rock in the loose snow and really good on ice and hard packed.
OverKill
Stock Woody's 4" from Cat right now, probly change to something better when it's time.
FlatOutFilms
just replaced them. stock ski-doo carbides. the 7 inch "extreme" carbides. man now this thing handles like my bros mod with the C&A's. not sure what kinda carbides hes got on those skis but there pretty much a half inch thick lol.
awrightzr9
C&A 1/2" host bar 8" Woodies or whatever in that style for less. They all seam to wear about the same to me.

Skidoo71
GREAT TOPIC! I was going to start the same one lol. I need carbides and what should I get? The sled has the stock ones and IDK what they are lol. Should I get woody's 4's or woodys 6? And 90* or 45*?? I think the * is carbides and not studs lol! Thanks guys this place rocks!

Stud Boy Shapers 9"

www.cbperformanceparts.com

10" on my pro x, 6" on the others (I500,xcr440)

They are simular to shapers but last longer and don't bend. 60* carbides and they last 2-3 years.

use stock toe out spec,, add an addt'l 1/8'' and low speed issue will be history,, works fine w/14'' woody's comp bars

accord double down 8 inch better than woody's
DamageInc
I run the Shapers now, Before that, I used Roetins. I don't like Woody's because of their "flat top" design. It reduces the depth that the wear bar cuts into hardpack, giving you less turning force in those conditions.

brand new Woody's 10" Carbides on the Doo for next season... cant wait to try them out div20.gif
Snowslut
I had 9" shapers on my C&A's until they wore down. I bought 8" Woody's though ShadeTree 20% off. Didn't notice a difference.

The Big East Show is coming and I think the Bergstrom guy is always there. Maybe I'll buy a set. sledder dude.gif

Ran em last year for the first time and they are the best carbide I've ever used. I had 8" studboy shapers (they suck) carbides broke in 1 ride. Used woodys for a number of years and they were pretty good. USI carbides were very hard and durable as well. I have USI PX 301 skis and with the bergstroms it hooks like mad but with reasonable steering effort and NO darting 1a.gif
