Wear Rod Application Chart

The finest wear rods and... we can prove it!


Do not over tighten nuts!  Tighten only until firmly snug.  This is especially important when working with plastic skis.  They always have a cushioned feel to them, unlike steel skis which provide a dead stop to the nut. We use 5/16" x 18 bolts because these are all that is necessary - strength-wise. Having more than one bolt only helps keep the host bar straight. Also, this allows the easiest installation without any need to drill the skis or use a hammer. It is not the size of the bolts, but the number and location that is important. Easy installation

To prevent cross-threading, rotate the nut counter-clockwise until you feel the end of the nut's thread fall over the end thread of the bolt. Then, turn clockwise to tighten.


NEW! Bergstrom Skegs' 7/16" diameter hardsurfaced wear rods.  These 7/16" hardsurfaced wear rods will outwear almost two sets of our standard 3/8" hardsurfaced wear rods. Also, they will lift your plastic skis higher off the ground for more protection.

Accu-Track wear rods are only a temporary and superficial fix for darting because they do not address the causes of darting.

We suggest using a H04P rod with 3/8" Ski Savers. The back three bolts do line up. To get proper wear pattern, add a 3/16" to 1/4" shim to the bottom back of the rubber stop.
