I've found that if you make a ski it works much better for gravel. I made a set for one of my blades and it works great. I used a seat spring from a 127 and cut it in half at the bend then cut them down to 4 1/2" long and welded them to the original shoes. I set mine so the cutting edge is 3/4" above the ground. It does'nt wear the cutting edge or pick up stones and the ski's glide really well.
