ecarnell Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 So after three failed attempts to ride Quebec with my (now 17 years old) son (Christmas and March break last year , and Christmas this year) - we finally made it! Trailered to New Liskeard - left 1:09pm, in at Amos in good time. Checked yesterday and today and Atmosphere had lots of room options , and heck it’s a Monday night. In 300 km we saw 10 sleds and a groomer total. well - arrived and it was fully booked! so headed over to Nouvelle Fronteirre (redone hotel next to the petro can). Nice place so far. Up to Chibougamau tomorrow, and yep - booked a room ahead of time! trails were 9.5 all afternoon. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS If said torsion spring bolt holder (treads into an aluminum spacer that the plastic retainer holds spring into) breaks , and torsion spring goes once around in the track at XXX km/hr - crap happens.

Wow! That usually would be a track destroyer. Glad it didn't! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Common thing on those sleds? I think I’ve read something about an issue with the skid on them, maybe a shock issue with track rubbing on it?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above scenario seems to be fairly common that riders are changing stock bolts and spaces out for better ones. Heard Polaris fixed this issue in 2024 I believe.
