  1. Yep that’s right. The bars are on the right. I store the setup using zip ties for ease of swapping.
  2. Price drop to $100 + shipping
  3. Compact version of DGSS with the standard blue and green long springs, plus four full additional sets of springs from McMaster Carr to dial in stiffness. Hope you like tinkering with springs as much as I did! Note that the McMaster long springs are about 1cm shorter than standard dgss - didn’t impact my experiments too much since I was trying to stiffen up toeside travel. $110 shipped within ConUS.
  4. One of the reissue series, green sidewall. Hasn’t seen use over the last few years so looking to find a new home. Nose was chipped by a collision with a skier, damage has been sealed with epoxy. Few scratches but no other base/edge damage. Plenty of camber/edge/base left. $100 + shipping.
  5. I’ll take the cants/wedges and screws if still available
  6. Still looking for a set?
  7. Doh! Just going to to miss you, will be up there on Sunday the 16th. How’ve the conditions been up there?
  8. I can help with a few of these based on my own testing... 1. Liner - I’m using intuitions. After forming them and the boots I’ve had no issues with heel hold or all day comfort. Toes get kinda cold towards the end of a session, but nothing worse than any other boot I’ve had. 2. strap - the Velcro strap is ok. I swapped mine out for a booster just to make it easier to tighten down. 3. For soft boot angles, I’m close to max forward lean. With the green springs, the boots are more responsive than my Salomon malamutes on toesides and are comparable to any stiff bindings on heel sides. You should have no problems driving the Fish. Hardboot angles (>50 degrees) are where I’ve been running into a challenge. Even with the rear boot lean max’ed out, I still can’t get into the right crouch position. I need some heel/toe lift, so that’s where I’m stuck for the moment. The boots were stiff enough to drive an alpine board at ~45 degree angles, but I had a lot of overhang and so couldn’t really push it. 4. I’ve used this with both a Dupraz and an Osin 3800, the boots worked brilliantly as a soft boot replacement on both powder and groom. I end up with less overhang as well, which is a nice bonus. Really curious if you’re able to get your position worked out on the Madd, and how the boots feel for you at those angles. Good luck!
  9. Near new condition - ~5 days on them. Includes orange/red bumper sets and extra set of insert spacers. ~560 new for everything - SOLD PayPal preferred either +3% or F&F.
  10. Anyone have extras lying around? Looking for 2 sets for medium and 2 sets for large (along w/ screws). Not sure if they’re the same across sizes, so just in case. donek is out of stock and I’m hoping to not have to order from overseas.
  11. I had both the SG163 FRT (not XT) and K168 last year. Both very friendly and smooth-handling boards when used for freeriding, but keep in mind I'm on the high end of the weight range (195 lbs). The SG felt slightly stiffer and likes to stay pointed down the fall line, so it ended up feeling easier for me to control my carves and adjust speed on the K168. Both had great grip and dampness on icy conditions. Both responded well to riding with Geckos, but the big step up for the K168 came from installing the apex plate. As Daveo mentioned above... no issues at all "pedaling" to control the board at sub-carving speeds or to adjust the line, and holy crap it is unbelievably stable/easy to manage in sketchy east coast conditions. Ended up keeping the K168, but honestly a big part what sealed the deal was that the K was drilled for UPM and I have an Apex plate, while I didn't have anything that used allflex inserts for the SG.
