After a two-season hiatus from production of the Ski-MX Conversion Kits, we did a small production run for the 2009/2010 season. We sold through that run and have done another run for the upcoming 2010/2011 season including kits with skis. We are currently awaiting delivery (projected for early October 2010) of 60 pairs of ski-bike-specific skis that are the result of 9 years of R&D. They are a 99cm skiboard with a 100mm tip width, 80mm waist width and 90mm tail width, with a 4cm square 4-hole insert pattern for easy mounting. They are very similar to the 99cm Matrix FSX 99's pictured below, and will feature AlpineSkibikes.com topsheet graphics with bright yellow bases. As soon as we get them in, we will mount them up, take pics, and post them on the website for sale. Kits with skis will retail for $469.95, and the skis themselves will be available for $199.95.
If you choose to buy a kit without skis you still have many ski options to consider. You can use children's skis (like the "Elan" skis pictured above left) or twin-tip ski-boards (like the "Line" ski-boards pictured above right) or you can choose to cut off the tips of some old skis from your basement. The optimum length for 20" BMX bikes is 85-90cm, and for 26" mountain bikes 95-100cm seems to work best.
Yes, the kit will fit (via removal of a spacer) either size rear dropout (as long as it is the standard 3/8" axle size). Mountainbikes have a 135 mm width between rear dropouts, and BMX bikes have a 110mm width. The kit has been engineered to fit both of these standard sizes. All forks have a 100mm width. If you have a 20mm through-axle, we have 20mm adaptors that allow the kit to be used with these axles as well.
