The whole idea seems a little sacrilegious,but if I HAD to add holes to a board......I would only put my faith in t-nuts. I 2nd having a builder just make a board with inserts to suit your needs.
I'm so stoked! I really need to contact Bruce or Sean and order up a 180 metal\rubber\carbon with an 11m SCR built for my weight.......Dreaming of something easily-flickable with super-long eff.-edge!Any advice?
Are metal whips generally thinner\lighter than traditional construction boards? 'Cause when I switch back to glass stuff, it feels like there's a cinder-block bolted to my foot?
A couple nights back,Slayermtb and I were rutting-up our local bump when a little jibber asks me if I ever hit my knees on the snow.....I reply-"nope,just my hips",followed by weird Golden-Retriever stare at me and my gear....
Yep,it was a pain in the a$$ getting them sorted just right to my boots....the receiver holes aren't nearly as accomodating as those on my TD3's.Once I got them dialed though,seemed nice and snug.
Who's familiar with them?I just mounted a pair for trial tomorrow....never been on them before,but I can see where the aluminum receivers could wear from the steel pins.Anything I should know or be watching for?Thanks.
Rode my new WCRM 169 last evening on a mix of hardpack and ice. I was both impressed and concerned with the construction of the board-very light and thinner than anything I've had underfoot. I'm likely well beyond its'weight rating at 235 geared-up.....this had me wondering if it would fold underneath me. Very happy to report that it gave back all that I could put into it. This is my second Prior but first metal construction and I now believe in the hype. It dampened the frozen cookies and astounded me with its' edgehold on fast,scraped snow that would've forced me to stay low and over the edge on my glass boards. The board is just stiff enough for some rebound off the tail,the SCR is perfect for our narrow trails and it's very predictable on edge or straightlining on flat base. More than happy with the board and the confidence it inspires in icy conditions. A great East Coast ride from a quality West Coast builder. Well done Chris Prior....
