But, as you are say, we are all entitled to an opinion :D


I think you will find that I edited my post to remove the non-acceptable language. I suggest you do the same :evil:

I think you will also find that I have since had a PM conversation with Tony and sorted things out there and not done a public slanging match.

I think some people should take heed from this advice....

Ok, so who wants to answer my question then?

Q. If you have skis with graphics that clearly look odd when they are reversed would you swap them over? Not because of any technical reason but purely for looks.

I wouldn't be able to stand it if they were incorrect even if they skied fine. I would have to swap them over and therefore create a set due to wear and tear that will become technically L&R.

I guess i have OCD, but then i do have to have one bad point don't i?

Not getting drawn into any conversation about manners here, especially after my last experience.

I have had another look at my ski poles and they are labelled left and right as well as being different colours. I think it is probably just a gimmic though. Never noticed any difference even when getting them the wrong way around.
I can see my house from here...

You do have left and right skis .... as we had a thread about it a couple of years ago, but to be honest it does'nt make much difference

The thing is it's very difficult to put them the wrong way when this is the case. I mean, how can you put the skis with graphics like on those on your picture wrong? It just won't happen. Just it doesn't happen very often that people when they can see would put the left shoe on a right foot. It can be seen, they don't need to feel it.

When a store mounts bindings on skis for you, They are required to mark a left and right ski as part of process. They will normally place a sticker on the right ski to differentiate.
because I'm so inclined .....
