  1. Yes.  Just like Race Titanium.  If you see the bottom of the binding, both have small 4 holes underneath of each bail for a rubber pad. 

    I think F2 updated the design for less parts for simplicity and cost reduction.  It all makes a sense but I think they ignored the dampening vibration by having rubber. 

    I plan to add a 1mm rubber/silicone sheet underneath.

    Carve RS, Blax, Proflex (all more or less the same), do not have rubber pads. 

    Left one is older model that has damping pads.  PXL_20221227_025251419.jpg.a863084a68864f1092e3e5d49a6745c9.jpgPXL_20221227_025317228.jpg.c07abe011ab083825ab457382c72a3b2.jpg

    Bail block slots are different and so does where the center disc sit.  Older one is like race titanium that no grove. 

  3. Do new F2 Carve RS bindings have rubber damping pads?  I have older 5mm bail ones and they do have a center round rubber pad and pad underneath toe bail and heel bail each. 

    I got newer (6mm) one but they don't have any.  Curious if it is designed that way or missing the pads.

     

    Thanks and Merry Christmas

  4. I went through this stiffest softboots that perform like hardboots road few years ago.   I went that direction to test Asian carving softboot boards and went thru +5 softboots (Insano, Malamute, Driver X, Helio, Trident, etc.).   As @JRAZZ, I agree with Flow/Nidecker boots are the one that I would recommend.  The reduced footprint and detailed features that satisficing carving specific are the reasons.  

    Now, I'm back to hardboots. and use softer UPZ boots w/ custom liners on all my alpine, freeride, and pow boards.  Much comfy, faster reaction time, and less stuff to carry.   Think outside of the box. 

  5. hmm... I used to have non-race SnowPro bindings (Black) and they seemed have smaller bails than this Race one.  I may need to find other bindings then.  Thanks.

    UPZ boots..Yes.  I ride with UPZ 28 shell on F2 medium and all my bails are way forwarded on front & back and not much room to adjust.

    Tempting!  So tempting!!

    What's the model year,  SCR and weight range of this baby?

    2015? Not sure.  SCR=15.7m, SG used to publish recommended weight range but not any more.  I say +160lbs.  Full spec. is at SG site, https://www.sgsnowboards.com/snowboards/sg-full-race-titan-2/

    I have ridden SG 163, 170, 175, 180, and 185 and stiffness-wise it's par with 163 and 185 but more versatile with its length. 

  7. SG Full Race 170

    Has few scratches on base after riding very thin layer at Steamboat. Edges are all there.  one ding in toe side (I will add the photo tomorrow).  This is one of most versatile boards.  Hate to let go but got bitten by backcountry type of riding. 

    Still can't figure image inserting way in this new forum. 

    SOLD

     

    F2 Race Titanium Bindings (Large)

    Should fit m26.5–m31.0 boots.  5.9 mm bails.  Used few years.  Center disc covers are missing. 

    $170+Shipping at cost (probably USPS Priority Medium box) or trade for Medium or Small F2 Race Titanium

     

    Payment thru PayPal friends/family.

  8. In addition, I noticed that F2 RS Carve bindings is supposed to be fit 22.5 - 31.5,  the shortest distance between bails barely works on UPZ 24 boots.  I use M for UPZ 28 boots. Centering the UPZ boots always resulted as front bail all the ways extended and back bails toward center.  That is only way to center (as close as I can) them.

    Thanks Ace. You are correct. I do look at ebay.de from time to time and there are occasionally some old Pogos that pop up.  The only Pogo that I have ever scored was an Impact 168 from a contributor here (BOL,actually) who lives close enough to me for pick-up. If I recall, I may have been advantaged over others who wanted it because no shipping was necessary.

    I am always looking for the Pogos. They have a special build quality, for sure.

    Don't forget the discussed condition when I handed it to you.  If you ever decide to let it go, I will take it back at the price - $ amount of fun you had (compared to others) on Impact, which means you will need to hand it over to me for free & probably a rad air 200.  

    Not Beluga.. but few BOL members have Blitz and Overdose. I know you are addicted to Pow and long sticks but Blitz is "supersized" Impact.  you will love it. 

    Let's ride together this year.   I got something you will love to try on this year  (again).

    I think I missed you mentioning this, but do you have the Ls or XLs? I also ride in 10.5 Driver Xs that I stuff my 11.5 foot into and just wondering how much space is left in the binding. I.e., would XLs be too big and require me to crank down the boots to painful levels.

    Yes. For me, XL was big with 10.5. Driver X. Now, i have Adidas boots and Flux XF.  I tried to netralize the lack of cushion on Flux bindings with the Energy Adidas boots. Then. I noticed weird underfeet feeling I am not used to. Then, tinkering with 3D cants material to compensate. Who knows. I may tinker with isolate plates next.  Never-ending experiment.

  11. @BlueB  Send an email with more photos. Let me know since there are others waiting.

    @garybergmann  Sure. I can do that.  But shipping and handling will cost $49.  Check yourself on USPS.com for Priority Mail International® Medium Flat Rate Box.  Ship from 20152. .  Let me know. 

    @jsa  you are next in line after garybergmann

    @davekempmeister  Yup.  I work in Tysons nowaday.  Let me know when you are coming over to Stone Spring. 

     

    Folks, I have to compare post times and message-received times to keep this sale fair.  and there are quiet few prospects.  So, please let me know asap so that next in lines doesn't have to wait.  Thanks.

  12. This season was a washout for me.  Only few times on slopes due to change of work. Hope to ride more on next season.

    Anyway, I got some softboot stuff for sale.

    1. Flow NXT XL bindings - Used for few seasons.  After many pairs of bindings trials, I settled with Flux and don't wear green pants any more.  $80
    2. Salomon SP3 L/XL bindings - Old but one of my favorites due to fast toe strap tightening mechanism and very cush straps. $50
    3. Palmer Crown 158 - Titanium, Carbon, Honeycomb, etc. modern tech. on old deck.  $100
    4. Palmer PLS Shock Riser - 13mm lift.  Sold
    5. Phiokka bindings - I have held onto these for long time to put on skwal or skinny board.  But it didn't happened.  IMO, the closest (responsive) and lightest (aluminum) bindings. Few bail blocks' engaging square nuts are missing.  Simple DIY from hardware store will complete the bindings.   Sold
    6. Donek Saber SRT 167 - Beast. This is not built for my local hills.  I needed serious speed to bend it.  18m SCR, 25.5 cm waist.  $150
    7. Ride Lowride 138 - If you have a kid who needs it, free. If you want the stomp pad, the board comes with it. so $10.

    Shipping thru USPS Priority.  Let me know your address for a shipping quote. PayPal as a gift. 

     

  13. I asked Shane for wider version for next year model. He replied that he needs to see more volume for such change. Totally understand him since it gets manufactured by 3rd party (Nidecker factory)   Only tweak for next year model will be more forwarded inserts placement as of current.
