Does anyone know of any suppliers of edge material in north america other than snowboardmaterials.com?

They're badly backourdered and out of stock. I'm having to resort to scrounging what I can from mildly used skis I'm finding at thrift stores and ski shops.

It is a real pain in the ass to tear out the edges, clean them up, and rebend them.

Thanks for any information at all

I'm having simular issues. It's pretty diffucult having to be totally reliant on just one source for an item as important as the metal edges. I don't know at this time what it would take, but count me in on a team effort to find another source, even a European manufacturer, so that we can have a more available resource for edges. I'm not knocking SBM, I can only try to imagine how difficult it must be to try to project how many edges might sell in the next few months. And I'm sure it takes a long time to receive a shipment from Europe... manufacturing lead times, shipping via boat, customs, etc.

I'd also be interested in stainless steel and dimensionally larger edges.

Tearing edges out of old skis!!?? Man, I wish that I had some extra edges I could send you. That sounds like an awful chore.

Wishing us luck in finding another source.

I'll participate in a group order.

Any update on this? Was the group order already put in?
Or did anyone find a supplier other than SBM?

thanks
