  1. So Moose, I think I can help. I live about an hour south of you, and would be glad to stop by on weekday mornings to pick up the board, head west on I-70, and ... ah ... debug the board for you. Yeah, debug the board, that's what I would do. I'm near your weight too, so I make a perfect crash test dummy test subject. In fact, it might be better if I just pick it up every Monday and return it sometime Friday. Late Friday. Then you could waste your time on the parking lot that I-70 becomes every Saturday enjoy a leisurely drive up into the mountains on I-70 on Saturday morning, and fight the hordes of beginner skiers/boarders have a slow relaxing day on the board after reading my weekly report. I could even stop by and get a demo board or two from Sean, since he's not that far east of you, then I could have a really fun time make some really serious comparisons. I'm guessing it would take, oh, most of the season a few weeks at most to debug the board properly.

    Fintec Heels

    I'll take them ... PM sent
  3. Ha ... when I saw the thread title my first thought was: "Someone wants a 3 nano-meter wrench? Wait, what?"
  4. I had the heel guts (lever arm) break two weeks ago ... same end result ... I had to take foot out, use two hex wrenches (just happen to have in my pocket) to push the heel release bars in. Now I'm back to normal binding on that foot ... because I never got around to getting the "inner arm" replacement kit. When Fin gets the store open, I'll buy a few of those and replacement cables too. And I need a bag of those little clips that hold the handles on ... not the handles, not the cable, just those annoying clips.
  5. Oh come one, it's already March (well almost, and it's a leap year) and there's no HIITLL topic for this season? liftie: Wow, cool, that's gotta be, like, stupid fast me, laughing: Yeah, that's accurate me, pointing at lift operator's panel: So please turn the knob that makes the snow slower
  6. And ... length, waist, SCR, etc?
  7. I'm interested in the 178 if you still have it
  8. Do you know the sidecut radius of these boards? If not, how about the waist width, nose/tail width, and running length? The radius is easy to compute from those measurements.
  9. Would you take $100 + shipping?
  10. Compute the radius this way: Measure the running length, the distance from where the nose touches the floor to where the tail touches, -NOT- all the way from nose to tail. Measure the widest width, this will be right where the nose or tail touches the floor. Measure the waist width, the narrowest width in the middle of the board Measure in millimeters Side cut depth = (widest - narrowest) / 2 Half length = length / 2 So now we have L (half running length) and D (sidecut depth) If your calculator uses radians: R = D + L / tan(PI - 2 * atan(L / D)) where PI is 3.14159265 (expand PI to your heart's content) If your calculator uses degrees: R = D + L / tan(180 - 2 * atan(L / D)) My board has running length 1440mm, nose/tail width 234mm, waist width 190mm So L is 1440/2 or 720, D is (234-190)/2 or 22, and R comes out as 11793mm, or 11.79m, which matches what is on the board
