Hi Seb, It's possible the 169-176 would work for the 179 ski - you would likely just have very little tail strap to work with. The benefit of the shorter skin is the lighter weight (less material) but you also max out the strap. It's one of the other.

Hi Trevor, I would go with the 9mm intuitions for these boots. I think the 12mm would be too bulky. Alternatively, you could try a  Palau All Track MV liner.

Hi Greg, It looks like you are spot on with the Wave Cable Tongue Nut. You are looking for the Maestrale RS 2.0 Wave Cable Upper End Screw in the drop down.

Hi Michele, We just checked - the 177 skins are just barely too long on the 168 skis.

Hi Deejj, In response to the weight discrepancy, is it possible that their claim of 480g is for the pair and not a single? If it were me, I'd probably replace them with the stock liners as they will be the best fit. If the space is an issue, you could always add a bit of foam around the ankles to keep them locked in.
