[SG delamination repair?]

Where did you buy the board?

I don't know how it works with deals to USA it probably complicates stuff.

Anyway there is a two year guarantee for all consumer goods sold in the EU whatever they state on their warranty page.

Also racing might woid warranty?

Thank you.

So the short answer would be: To be able to have a system as low as possible the plate will contact the hardware at the end of the travel. This will only cause some minor scratch marks in the clear coat.:)

I became a little worried since i do not really feel i have pushed the board and plate yet due to bad snow conditions. But maybe I have

[Ski box or racks on car?]

I would say box, and a lambo to go with it

Ah, with the proper orientation...

same-same, 1-2-3mm of spacer below the hardware for a clearance cushion or let it ride.

I am not after any cluttering solutions with spacers and stuff.

The question was/is more in line with how usual is this and how much wear on the plate is healthy? Will it hold forever or will it explode next season? :rolleyes:

Had similar results with Doneks plate but I thought it would be better when paying twice the amount :D

Welcome Calle.

First of all, I am sure Fin will have this all covered upon his return. His customer service is always great

Second, you are a BIG rider.

Third, based on the wear marks where the core raises up in the bottom of the plate, I am cruious if you might have the 4X4 hardware in the wrong position. This would both limit the travel of the system, but also potentiall cause the smaller set of marks.

Any pictures of the board and plate set up from the side? showing the stack and alignment of everything?

Good luck!

What happens when you run out of travel?

Both the board and the plate would have to bend?

The result should be the same whereever one sets the axle in the slider, however it would happen sooner if axle were set with smaller travel ( strange things could probably happen).

I wouldn't want to limit the travel in the system and don't think I have. It is also marked in the harware where the axles should be, to minimize the confusion.

probably the most intriguing part is the rubbing between the aluminum 4X4 adapter plate. You show the anodizing being rubbed. This indicates interference when flexing the board upwards (inducing greater camber in the board) There is only 1 to 2 mm of travel in the slider in this direction, yet you are clearly bending the board far more than ever expected in the reverse direction.

You don't have to bend the board much in the backward direction to make contact and if the plate also flexes some there aren't much margin. But you would probably know better how much can be expected :)

EDIT: To me this seems much more reasonable than the slider scratching since i can make it happen with my hands :)

[Alpine Snowboard Plate Systems]

Yes correct.

The anodized hardware have been in contact with the binding inserts.

The ones in the plate with arrows comes from sliding mechanism but i don't thin it is the screws since they sit lower than the overall assemply.

[Alpine Snowboard Plate Systems]

Yes I have moved the slider forward so it wont scrape at the back where the plate gets thicker. Tried to mention it in the paranthesis.

EDIT: hmm this maybe isn't such a bright idea, the plate is thinner if moved forward, maybe more flex?

I also have more wear on toeside, however on the donek plate it was the opposite but that mas on the board.

[Alpine Snowboard Plate Systems]

It's probably no big deal. I also want a plate as low as possible:)

Sean - The Donek plate worked really well except for the really small scraping of the topsheet.

I am/was just curious if any others have the same problems. It was so shiny when new :)

[Alpine Snowboard Plate Systems]

It's a 5mm

Thank you.

That info is old... :) SG full race team 185.

110 kg. that would be something like 240 lbs i think.

My First post...

Got my Bomber plate about a week ago. It's replacing my Donek plate since it couldn't give enough axle spacing and felt a bit soft (and carbonfiber is carbonfiber).

Has anyone had problems with the plate rubbing against the hardware?

Been thinking about weather I could have caused this when mounting the plate but don't think so?

The Donek plate I had dug holes in the snowboard and plate when different parts came in contact.

Don't know if it is a problem at all. But it feels like it would be better if not.

Am I too heavy? the plate/hardware to soft? to little play in the system? or to soft snowboard? :D

(Pictures of front slider, have moved the axle forward so it wont rub at the back, also second picture shows harware paint beeing rubbed of)
