Kastle says that 6mm screws must be used but the freerides (and most other bindings) come with 9mm screws. Has anyone mounted fritschi freerides on the fx84?

Between the 88 and 98, the biggest difference is I noticed is simply the width. A bit more stability in the 98, a little quicker in the 88. Either is a great ski. As for the FT12 on them? I wouldn't hesitate in softer snow, but these skis can be pushed so far on hard pack, I'm wouldn't suggest skiing an FT12 all the time, inbounds, until I've tried it myself. I felt like the Kästles were in a different league than all my other skis. sorry for the late response Jack. Between the 88 and 98, the biggest difference is I noticed is simply the width.

Another question: I found the the 88 very stable, yet easy to turn and very good allmountain ski, but on the heavy side. One dealer suggested to mount vertical FT 12's on them to offset the weight a bit. You agree ? What is according to your experiences the difference(s) between the Kastle 88 and the 98 ?

The guy I was with, was also skiing on his new Kastle skis. He was lovin' them and just ripping.
