    Hi,
    first of all, it’s great to see that there is finally again a site with some real world reviews on ski gear! Appreciate your work a lot!
    I wanted to ask, if there is any update on your review of those skis? I’m especially intrested on your thoughts about the mount point of the bindings? Did you end up 1-2 cm further the recommended line?
    The reason I’m asking for is that I’m about to mount the Transalp 98 CTI, but not yet shure if I should move 1 cm forward…
    Thanks a lot!

      Hey George, we have been really enjoying the Transalp 105! I have enjoyed a few days on them, but for the most part, Slator Aplin has been using them a ton. I mounted them at +1 from recommended, so 9cm behind center. It’s worth checking the mount point on the 98mm model as it may not be the same. For my preferences of more centered for/aft weight distribution, -9cm is still quite far back – that being said, the 105s have felt intuitive and relatively easy skiing, where sometimes I tend to get “punished” by not being far enough forward on skis like this. I don’t imagine it would be productive to stray too far from recommended here.
