I'm using a V2 910 classic now with speed reducers, they are good but
I still get kind of spooked on the downhills sometimes, especially
when the road is all hacked up.
I opted for a V2 9000 series which has an extra long shaft, a 910
wheel in the back and one of the narrow 100mm wheels up front (with
speed reducer). I like these a lot, as they're a little challenging
to balance on, and with the ratchet way up front on the narrow wheel,
it feels like you do have to press down a bit to get kick.
I'm hoping Len offers a composite version of the 9000 shaft at some
point...

I do like how the 910's feel striding, sometimes I have to click the
reducers one click to slow them a bit, I'm concerned that the 150's
will be way too fast.

I have the 900 series solid wheel skis for classic and the aero 150's
for skating. On the classics, I use the slower wheel and generally
like them, but they do feel a little sketchy for me going down big
hills on broken pavement. If I can get the 150's to work as combi's,
I'd prefer them. I'll post back in a week when I get the new wheels.
I really like the 150's, I can just ski right out of the driveway and
go wherever I want and cover a lot of gound. They are a really nice
ski for my purposes and I'm doing more roller skiing, which is a plus.

I'm curious how the 150's will work for classic. I'm not a champion
skier, so I'm mostly looking to get some balance and general
conditioning. My technique is lousy anyway, so I'm not too worried
about i at this point. I had the Mawres for a while, but got sick of
the limited options for where I could use them safely around here, so
I did not use them much. With the 150's, I look forward to getting
out the door.
Perhaps I'll get more used to the 910's on the downhills, they are not
bad but on the steep hills with the reducers on high they get sort of
unstable for my tastes.
