  1. SOLD TO mtrosejibber 7/19. Thanks for speedy payment, board is on its way. This is a 2006 Prior FWD in 179. It has had one run (literally) since a tune that included fresh edges a base grind and wax. No damage, good cosmetics. The bindings have been removed since the pictures were taken and are no longer available. Located in SoCal zip 90274, prefer payment via PayPal.
  2. OK the boots and bindings were nearly a photo finish. Carving Scooby sent in his dibs at nearly the same time that Carving Chef was PMing me. Technically the dibs online should be in first position however the Chef lives down the street from me here in LA, had a wad of cash and came to pick them up tonight from my house. Tie breaker goes to the Chef for being on it and local. Thanks Chef. THE BOARD IS STILL FOR SALE without bindings.
  3. BOOTS BINDINGS AND HEELS WERE PICKED UP IN PERSON TODAY, CARVING CHEF was on it, thanks. I STILL HAVE THE BOARD FOR SALE. You can see additional full size photos on this link: http://gallery.me.com/c.crocker#100249 THE BOARD: $350 obo This is a 2006 Prior FWD in 179. It has had one run (literally) since a tune that included fresh edges a base grind and wax. No damage, good cosmetics.

  4. good feedback and yes i rather like my kidneys whole. now that you mention it, i have a lightweight hex set i bought at a bicycle store that has plastic sides and is compact. i've just added it to the back pocket of the new dakine heli pro backpack i picked up yesterday to haul around all this stuff!
  5. i have the front bale of the TD2s in the "back" position to try and push the boots to the heel as much as possible. there is still more room behind the heel than the toe. i'm assuming this is as much as I can move it, unless there is some way to move the base of the plate system that bolts to the board and get some adjustment to heel side there??? it seemed to me when i put them together that the base was centered on the holes of the board to start with. should i try rotating the base below the binding to move them heelside? i've got a lot of room under the heels to the edge.
  6. OK, new in that I've only been out once or twice in the past 10+ years on ancient gear in ski boots. I've just kitted myself out with used gear from the BOL community and i'm just about ready to go give it a go. I picked up a prior 4WD and the deelux track 700s with a set of TD2s with the step in heels. I set up the bindings today and was trying to minimize the angles without the toes hanging over. i ended up with 55 degrees on the front foot and 60 degrees on the back foot. what i'm wondering is.... 1) should i be setting the very tip of the front toe inside the board edge, at the edge or hanging over. 2) does the rear toe also need to fully clear or can it hang out a bit? Sorry, these seem like silly questions i guess but I'd appreciate some input, perhaps i need to move them to clear even more? pictures are below. Thanks for the input.
  7. I purchased a set of deelux 700s but they came without liners. I need some thermoflex liners now. 27.5MP is ideal. I could probably stretch some 27.0 if they are strechy.....maybe.... Please they need some life in them I don't need some tired ones.
  8. SOLD 12/4 Purchased these a few weeks ago and they are too small for me. (After consulting the mondo sizing chart a gazillion times of course) I need the 27.5. Note to those of you looking for boots, drop by a ski shop and try on some normal boots if you don't know your size. On paper these should have fit me, I'm about a 10US and these are tight on me. 9.5US and under should be fine. I've posted a ton of pictures here: http://gallery.me.com/c.crocker/100181 Looking for $200 OBO. They also have the orange race tongue inserts which aren't in the photos. A fair amount of normal scratches but no issues, they are in good shape. Previous owner used them with intek heels in them so they have the small hole in the sole for the cable to pass through.
  9. PROBLEM SOLVED, THANKS looking for a pair of 27.5 boot that will accept step in heels. with or without heels is OK but prefer newer boots in good condition.
