  4. Good shop for major base repair?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I can't help, but what happened? Did you jib to a stop on the lift tower mounting bolts? Looks nasty...

    Conditions were much thinner than expected. It looked rideable but was actually a weird breakable crust with lots of fluff underneath. And rocks. Lots of rocks.

    I royally messed up my Coiler AM's base responding to a lift evac last weekend. Talked to Bruce and it might not be worth repairing due to the cost of shipping and repairs. Does anyone have a shop they would trust to fix this mess? East coast would be best to keep shipping cost down. Thanks! 710a0d78a7aee704e11e391e49c65ea6.jpge21df0ffbfe1aad2f721bafea6c69b0d.jpgb9194154b240a5b73060a0d8485af9be.jpg

  8. Tree Board advice

    Oh btw, I've had my F2 166 sl in the woods once. It wasn't by choice, I was patrolling on it that day and had to go. It wasn't fun. Our woods can be pretty junky so it's nice to have the tip riding up near the top of the snow to avoid strainers.

    I'm looking for a new board for East Coast trees on soft days (powder and spring corn). Currently I have a Coiler AM 172

    with TD2's and Head boots. Its great out in the open but too stiff for me in the trees. I plan to use plates, I just picked

    up a set of SnowPro Race, and my Heads. I don't want to haul around an extra set of boots. I'm 6'3" 245 lbs with a size 29

    boot. Sean has a demo 170 Nomad but its way wide for hardboots in my opinion. Burton Fish (3 hole probably wont work with

    the SnowPro's), Dynastar 3800, Prior Spearhead, what other option are out there?

    Here's an example of the terrain in our area, not me riding.

    How much for just the TD2 stepins? I don't need the heels or recievers.

    TD2 Step ins with extra receivers and Fintec heels, this is a package deal but I may consider selling the parts separate if that is what someone wants. The Fintecs are one season old with new cables and walking pads. I purchased the receivers for the other TD2s and would sell them separate if someone wants, the older TD1 receivers also work with the TD2s if someone wants to convert them.

  15. HELP! TD3 Stance Width Question??

    Posted · Edited by wvrocks

    I know Frank at Virus has option to add additional inserts during ordering, so the inbeded mounting sheet must be long enough to handle it.

    On a differant question - with the 4 hole mounting disc..... I seem to recall someone saying to place the screws as close to each other as possible to help with the applied stress/torque...........wouldn't you want to place the screws farther apart to even the load???

    I suspect that Frank would move or lengthen the reinforcement around the inserts when he lays up the board with additional/special inserts. I assume you understand that they don't put the extra inserts in the board after its constructed, correct? They are mounted under the core and reinforced before the board is pressed.

    As for the the screws. If its a 4x4 mount, you want them at equal spacings in all directions, or more precisely, 4 cm between the screws. Some boards have inserts spaced at 2 cm longitudinally which gives more options but you still mount them the same as a 4x4.

    From the Volkl website:

    Insert-Systems

    Generally you’re dealing with one of three insert systems: 4x4, 5x2 or 6x2. With a 4x4 system, the inserts are 4 cm apart. With the 5x2 and 6x2 Insert Systems, the insert rows are separated by 2 cm only. This way the stance can be set more exactly – down to the precise centimeter. The 6x2 Insert System is specifically employed in our top freestyle boards to offer individual binding placement. Adjustments on binding discs will be limited to the centering of bindings.

    Hey Corey,

    Yeah, I had the Virus with the Oxygen bindings at SES. ......and I tried the TD's on the Virus, which is what started this stance discussion.

    With the TD's my weight is to far back at the most forward setting of inserts on the rear foot..IMO

    Do you have a picture of the mounting disc for the Oxygen bindings? It would be useful for everyone who doesn't know what they look like

    compared to a TD3 mounting disc. Maybe the difference between the 2 allows more adjustment with the Oxygen.

    How much cant/lift do the Oxygen's have? Looks like you are using 3 Deg front and 6 degree rear on the TD3.

    Thanks for all the input guys!

    DonP - your right, the distance between the bindings of the twomboards isn't the same! Somehow I thought I measured it as the same, but I put the Oxygens back on the Virus and it's closer to 19 inches......which makes sense.....it's two differant boards....it can't measure the same!

    So my solution is as I mentioned and showed above to find and mark the center of the Oxygens on the Virus and line up the TD's in that centered spot...which shows I need another set of inserts to match the settings with the Oxygens.....................at least that is what I've come up with?

    1. What is the minimum distance between the 2 closest inserts on the red board that you had the Oxygens on?

    2. What is the minimum distance between the 2 closest inserts on the Virus?

    If its not the same or very close, you will never get the same minimum stance width regardless of what bindings you use.

    I'd suggest either widening your stance, you are tall enough to support it, or finding a board that allows your narrow stance.

    For the record I am wearing Head stratos pro boot. Trying to figure how wide I'd want to order a custom board.

    Donek's calculator doesn't seem to work. Give me board with of 6 cm and such :/

    Try using the US street shoe size on the Donek calculator. For some reason it doesn't work for the big Mondo sizes.

    For reference, I'm riding a Mondo 29 Head Stratos. My angles on my F2 Speedster 166 SL are 60F, 57R. Its a 20 cm waist.

    My Donek Axis 177, 21.5 cm were around 55F, 53R. My Prior BX 176, 23 cm would go down around 50 or less but I didn't

    like them that low.

    Remember too that those angles are going to affected a little bit by your stance width. The further you mount from the

    waist of the board the lower the angles can be.
