300/440/550 X2 Rubber

[Snackem]

Who still has the stock rubber on their X2? I'm thinking of removing it and possible turfing those spots? Any reason not to?

I think your knees are your only concern. My next X2 project is going to have a cut stern, and the rubber guys are gone then. I may have two layers of "B" turf.
The two back corner rubbers are of no concern, really.

I've never hit my knees on the rubber. I'd like to ditch all of it, even the front 'bumper',

I know my back two rubber pieces on the rails are becoming a pain in the ass. They do nothing but spray water at my ankles and legs. Probably gonna take them off and see how it goes. Won't be doing any major turf projects on my current ski, but my 95 is going under the saw and getting some glass over the summer and into the winter...

Same here. All the rear rubbers are gone because they were just spraying water on me. Plus they had to go when I chopped the rear.

pull the rubber off and weigh it, then weigh the turf you're putting on in place...

It's meant to be!

I took all mine off also, however the only down side is that the turf on teh front tends to get ripped off when you start subbing, etc

I kept the nose peice on one of my x2s and turfed the rails alll the way up and tucked under the nose piece so they don't peel in front. Also cut the edge of the turf where it stops on the edge of the rail at a 45 degree angle so it doesn't peel either

im looking to turf mine this winter, but i want to know what is the best way to keep the turf on for subs. Does keeping to front knows on work?

Get rid of it. No problems with knee bashing
