Patagonia Pursuit 2010 #2

Here is my gut.

Best Glide: Base of SOLDA UF7 scraped and brushed. Mix SOLDA F40 Red and F40 Yellow 50/50. Scrape and brush. Finish with SOLDA Fluor 100 powder or spray.

Good glide: Solda UF7 base with F15 Orange and F15 Yellow mixed 50/50.

Budget glide wax: Solda UF7

Kick Wax: Still going with one pair with Rode Rossa klister and one pair with Rode Silver Klister. If it is snowing I will be ready to cover with hard wax.

    Hi Bert,
    Re Rode Rossa vs Rode Silver. What are the conditions that favor Silver vs. Rossa?

    Which worked out better?

    Hi Edgar,

    Rode Red (Rossa) works well above and below 0°C. It does not ‘grab’ in the shaded icy areas under trees etc. Also Swix KR 60 and KR 50 klister work well in the melt-freeze area.

    Silver is usually called for in dirty snow. It is also generally used when all parts of the track are above freezing.
