  1. I have a Donek Pilot 168 from a few years back that could work for GS. Very low mileage. I also have a 160-ish Coiler all-mountain built for a light rider (~125#, I think), could be good for BX. I’m not looking for a whole lot for either. I also have a pair of Deeluxe Suzukas and a pair of UPZ AT8’s in size 25 if that’s of any interest. I should probably post those in For Sale! But I’d be happy to give priority to an up-and-coming racer.
  2. Interested! I also have lots I could trade, (older boards, boots, bindings, newer boards). Let me know what you might be interested in.
  3. If you’re still looking, and willing to upsize a bit, I have a blue Proton 185 in excellent condition.
  4. Just seeing if your looking at selling your FG plates, as I saw on one of your posts about trades for boots.

     

    Thanks

  5. I have a 5mm BBP with 4x4 mounting plates. I slightly modified it to direct-mount my TD3 binding uppers directly, and added a few more 4x4 binding positions. Contact me for pics or more info.
  6. Thanks skategoat, the board looks great.
  7. Looking for a PTex-top Kessler 180. Stock build preferably, as I'm ~62kg, and my feet need a 200mm waist. 4x4 inserts are fine. I'm interested in trying an Allflex plate too, so those inserts would be a bonus. Just no UPM-only, if that's a thing. Condition isn't super important as long as it isn't wrecked.
  8. Hi, How much for the 180 with or without the Vist plate (including shipping to the US)? Also, are there any cracks in the topsheet? I've broken 2 of these boards, so I'd like to know that it still has a healthy lifespan.
  9. I do. It's slightly modified (extra inserts), but it's structurally sound, and as stiff as it ever was. 4x4 mounting, and I have a Wunderbar. PM me for details.
  10. I'll take that last one if it's still available!
  11. I have a 1st-gen 4x4 5mm Boiler plate that I'm unlikely to use again. I did a few mods: -Added more inserts for stance options (4x4 -> 4x2) -Added inserts for direct-mounting TD3 heel/toe blocks. If you happen to ride goofy with a similar stance to me (~500mm/20", 52/48) and wear size 27 UPZ's, you're in luck! I also have a Wunderbar that I can include.
  12. I demo’d an Oxess XXRW174 (now known as SXR174) at the TTC last year, and it was an eye-opening experience. The price tag was intimidating, but after adjusting to it after a few runs, I knew I had to have it. That board has a combination of grip and pop that I had never experienced before, and yet I can ride it all day*. I still prefer my Coiler for softer/irregular snow, and I usually don’t end up as wrecked after a big day. But when it’s firm, up to and including icy, the Oxess is shockingly good. *Not because it’s forgiving, but because I feel compelled to ride it until my legs liquify.
  13. They look a lot like igus bushings: https://www.igus.com/product/3 Shipping is likely to cost much more than the bushings. They keep most USA stock on the east coast. There is always (in the USA) McMaster-Carr, but I don't know if they have the right dimensions available. I don't have my Fintecs near me, but I would guess that the pin diameter is 10mm, and the Fintec body has a 12mm bore. Measure carefully before buying anything! https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-sleeve-bearings/=1baa1vd Avoid nylon, since it absorbs water and can swell, affecting the clearances. Any of the Rulon materials will work well.
