    I will not respond to sticks and stones.

    What does that even mean? Whatever it means, I'm glad you responded :)

    But as Corey and I have both said now, this is about how damp a board it, the plate has nothing to do with it.

    Never Summer uses pre tensioned s glass precure laminates.  Carbon has a short elastic curve to begin with.  Pre tensioning it will only shorten it further and increase the likelihood of a catastrophic failure.  A balanced laminate stack becomes a necessity to eliminate changes in shape with temperature variations and de molding.  There are many ways of generating a damper board, but Carbon fiber is unlikely to achieve that goal.  You could look at wavy fiber technology, but the patent is probably still in effect.  Metal construction boards would be better described as rubber construction boards.  The metal generates a certain perception of dampness, but it's the rubber laminates that do most of that work.  The rubber is there because the boards will fall apart without it.

     

    I think what Corey is referring to is the post above in this thread.

  3. My Catek OS1 Short bindings' kingpins have both been rounded over time. I don't currently have them with me so I can't take them down to the local nuts n' bolts to get new ones.

    Does anyone know the exact specs of the Catek OS1 Kingpins- like the thread type and bolt length?

    The graphic is going to dictate getting this board or not? I thought all the excitement was about what this board is, not what's on it

    That's one hundred percent correct. I believe the graphic is an expression of form and emotion- and I don't feel like this is a reflection to the legacy this board should portray, therefore the graphic does entirely dictate getting this board or not. For me, anyway.

    If it is offered in black, sign me up.
