How far back from "true center" is the recommended...

How far back from "true center" is the recommended mounting point on these? I have last year's Jibs, and they're pretty close to center, less than 2cm back

I can give you last years Freeride 188's and I'll bet this years mount point is the same (since I am guessing the recurve in tip & tail is same at about 20cm each end). Depends what you mean by center, so I'll give you two measurements. Based on centre of running length, the dimple is about -5cm back from that point. For me, in my 310BSL shells, it's pretty close; I'd still go back -7cm from centre of contact/running length so the dent, for me, is 2cm too far forward. Tape pulled taught the skis are 186cm tip to tail; dimple is at 101.5cm from tip. So based on that, if true centre is at 93cm, these are -8.5 from that. Bear in mind these are a directional twin, with a much more subtle tail relative to the tip. My tips are roughly 22cm long and tails are 16cm long so comparing these to the Jibs (which are pretty much perfectly symmetrical) just basing on midpoint between tip and tail is no good.
