It being a good year for snow here in the
Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon we decided we should spend a
little time on a sled this winter. How could we not? It is only 15
minutes from our house to the unload zone for miles for great
sledding.
Noooooo,
not in a snow snowstorm.
So starting with a couple used sleds and a two
place open snowmobile trailer we hit the hills. It has been
awesome. BUT I quickly discovered an issue that toned done the
whole experience. That issue was fighting to strap down the sleds
at the end of the day and especially when a storm moved in and
you are running around in the storm trying to get sleds in
place so you can get the heck out of dodge. Have you
experienced this? Well being new to this I figured there MUST be a
better way.
After doing a little research I discovered
Super Clamp. It did not take much to convince me I had to try
a set of these SuperClamp II's. So I ordered up a set and in
just a few days I had a set on my doorstep.
A complete set of front
and rear SuperClamp II's .
The install instructions
are printed right on the box.
Remove your existing
system then screw in the new SuperClamp mount.
You may or may not need
to put a nut on the underside.
New Superclamp II's
almost ready.
Loosen this adjuster nut.
This is what adjusts the tension on the clamp and allows it to fit
varying ski's.
The
SuperClamp simply slips under the trailer ring / mount when
installing.
The small plastic key
locks it in place OR you can add your own Master
Lock.
Adjust the tension knob
the first time you load your sled.
Summary
Installation time of the front SuperClamp II
was literally less than 15 minutes. It was hard to believe
how easy it was. Leave it to a couple of brothers in Canada to come
up with such a great product. Now we could enjoy our ride and
not think about the frustration of strapping down our sleds at the
end of the day. Bring on the snow storm and the darkness! We know
we will have our sled loaded and tied down and we will be sitting
in the cab while our riding partners are still loading. Next
month we will show you the rear SuperClamp's.
