I've been using X Metal trim for 6 years. Never had a cable break like that. My problem has always been the rubber wears down to the plain steel core of the cable jacket, and then that quickly rusts so the jacket collapses when you pull the lever instead of the nozzle going up...

Not that this helps the situation, but the trim does have stops and you can continue to ride the ski without the trim cable in place
Yeah except @chrisgrace kept the stop so now I have to hear the steer nozzle slap the reduction nozzle lol

I'll send that right out to you Jon! Sorry about that.
I can't. Whatever issues I've had Nick is taking actions to have them fixed. But I can tell you right now I feel like bought the wrong ski. I like the way it rides..... That's it, I hate pretty much everything else about it. Should have got a tigercraft

I run a cats or whatever stock trim setup. I get plenty of throw and have no issues, I use a 3500mm jagwire brand bike cable, with a knarp on the end for a keep. It doesn't even pull straight but it still pulls easier than some of the thrust setups I've felt. I broke 2 cables then realized when I was trimming them they would backwind, the second time I tried soldering the end but it didn't last. So far this cable has lasted me 6 months, replacements are 10 bucks and I can do it without removing the cable housing from the ski ha maybe consider swapping to something like this? I can shoot you some pics if anyone is looking for ideas

I don't mess around. When you spend 8800 dollars on some fiberglass and some parts when you start to dislike it goes downhill from there.

I was going to post this. I've rode with a lot of guys that have trim and they all break. Waste of $500+

I understand ya in both ways x2mafia, inertia. I've always had great results with thrust trim. Just order two cables right off the get go though.
