Haha.... good point. I've decided to go with the heel lift and flat up front. Might add the gas pedal later.

Yes definitely. I wish F2 would stop installing those inward cant shims at the factory and just put them in the box.
Well Kessler sends them too! The bindings I just mounted had them in.

Ivan is great at I-Carve. I got mine in yesterday along with a few other items.

Interesting..... as I'm setting up my new board I was just looking at putting the heel lift and toe lift wedges in (which I use on my F2 bindings). Seeing that this will be my first turns with the ALLFLEX plate I decided to just go stock and see how the plate felt. Maybe I'll just pull the cant shims and go with the heel and toe lifts. Keep ya posted.

The Allflex Spring plate works as advertised for SL-ish boards which the K168 is. It noticeably increases edge grip, power, and speed. It is popular in World Cup slalom. However it is heavy and torsionally rigid and demands very athletic riding. If you're a regular in the gym this may not be a problem. I enjoyed getting to know one but... I no longer own it. If I make a goal of winning USASA Nationals I'll consider another one. I recommend trying the board with and without it. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
I'll keep you posted..... it took Ivan a little longer than expected to get the plate so I'll be on an F2 this week in Maine.

I'm looking forward to this board! Looking like my first turns will be at Saddleback over the Christmas break. Paired mine up with an ALLFLEX spring plate.....can't wait!!

Update - I just bought the last pair of 26.5 .951 WCs from Ivan. Can't wait to get them out and see what they can do.

My feet measure 28.4 and 28.0 and I am in the C shell. I love them. I am a the end of the C shell range so I have a low volume fit. I need to have the shell punched a little for my big toe on my bigger foot. The stock liners worked well for me, they provide different liners for different sizes within a shell size. I got about 100 days out of them then I replaced with Intuition Plugs. Disregard the street shoe size conversion, mondopoint is all that matters - it's simply the length of your foot in centimeters.
There are many many thoughts on these boots in our reviews section here:

Mountain Slope size chart is here:

Looks like you will have a similar fit as me in the B shell.
Jack are you in the WC model or ST?

Hi folks,
I'm upgrading my boots this fall and am leaning towards the .951 MSWC. At the shop I measure a perfect fit for a 26.5 but was wondering if the mountain slopes sizing runs true. I'm currently in UPZ RC10's which have what I'd consider a "performance" fit that gives me great control but I'm unbuckled on just about every ride back up the hill. I did notice that the new UPZ size chart has my US foot size (9.5) in a 27.5 which seems huge when I'm standing in the measuring device at the board shop. Any advice would be appreciated prior to pulling the trigger. I wish I could try a few on but I'm limited to a online purchase.
