I have a pair of new (never molded, never even had a foot in them) Deeluxe Indy's. They are size MP27. I am looking to get $350 + shipping for them. Please email me at ben -at- bogeydog -dot- net if you are interested. Although new items are not usually allowed in the classified sections, I have cleared this with Fin. Thanks, ->Ben

Only on the Burton boots. With Deeluxe all 4 bolts are the same length, M5x20mm.

Cool, hope to see you there Kathy. Yes, captain Bob J is coming up on the 10th last I knew. He was good last I emailed him a couple of days ago. ->Ben

Then polycarbonate is what you want. Get part # 85805K27 www.mcmaster.com and if you have Bombers then you need to get M6 x 20mm bolts to hold them to the board. I like the oval phillips head ones. Part # 90258A288 in case you wanted that too. ->Ben

I made up some spacers for it and I'm gonna try them. I made a set out of polycarbonate and another set out of polyethylene. I don't want to affect the flex of the board too much so I'm going to experiment with these two. I made up a template if you are interested in a set. All I need to do is attach the template to the raw material and run it through my router. ->Ben

I got a NSR II 185 Titianal, should be here on Friday.

That's not how you tune those things?

Paul, 24! Damn, my 6 week old son is almost a 24. Are you riding tomorrow? I'll be up there and we can discuss your options for hardware etc... If not, I'm sure I'll catch up with you this winter sometime. ->Ben

Here is a picture of the old and new tee nuts that come with the Intec heels. The new ones are painted black. Not sure if they are the same underneath. Next to that is the M5x20mm pan head screw that comes with the heels. Next is a M5x20mm stainless pan head. Next to that is an M5x20mm stainless hex cap bolt replacement and the appropriate M5 washer so that that head is the same diameter as the pan head screw. One thing to mention is that carbon steel is stronger then stainless. Stainless is more brittle so you don't want to let them get loose so they can get worked. You've all seen what happens to a paper clip when you bend it back and forth a few times. However, carbon steel will corrode so it IS work replacing the whole works every year. The tee nuts/bolts are very inexpensive when compared to the alternative. :-)

Jack, just let me know when you want to ride them and I'll bring them both for you to ponder. My Coiler 196 is a 17+ radius. It's 17m up front and larger out back. I know nothing about the split tail for specs but I know it rides big.

Board has been sold! Thanks, ->Ben

I have boot bag that I'm looking to sell. It's an REI bag a few years old but looks new. There are no rips or stains etc.. I'm looking for $25 + shipping. <a href = "http://picasaweb.google.com/bschurma/BootBag">Pics</a> email me at ben -at- bogeydog -dot- net if you are interested.

I have a MADD 170 for sale. This is pre flex pattern but I would guess it's about a F2. Red sidewall and fresh PTC tune. The CF fly typically is a little rough where it was cut but this does not affect performance. This is as it came from MADD. Board has literally been ridden twice. Just making some room for a new Coiler. Price is $400 + shipping. <a href = "http://picasaweb.google.com/bschurma/MADD/photo#5148119892847161634">Pics</a> email me at ben -at- bogeydog -dot- net if you are interested.

Have you tried calling them? It is the Holiday season, perhaps things are backed up.

I have a titanium plate and seven screws in my right fibula from a mountain biking accident. Picture your right foot pointed in the 3:00 position. Attached picture if not my foot but that is what the hardware in mine looks like.

Why not lock the board to a rack at the bottom of the mountain? You have to go down the mountain anyway so top or bottom makes no difference.

They are NOT the sleeve design but a real tee nut. The plastic is just molded over them that's all. ->Ben

According to Erik Dr. Franken Boots Beckman: "The initial function of toe lift is to account for the supportive forward lean of your boot, and equalize the leverage ratios from the toe side to heel side of the snowboard. Another way of looking at it is that you are trying to set the center of your knee, as viewed from the tip of the board looking toward the tail, roughly on the midline of the board width."

Hey, I thought that IBEX bought the Burton boot molds and was going to reissue them. Does anyone have any information about this? I know the race plates were reissued by them. "It would be a lot cooler if they did" produce the boots again.

bump!

Not true. In fact a beginner will benefit more from a proper tune, a la PTC, then a more advanced rider. I can not recommend a PTC tune enough. The board will ride better then new and you can remove the board as a source of problems while you learn. The $75 is the whole ball of wax including base grind done by a master. You do not need to do this too often. Just maintenance after that for a couple of years. Gleb, have you ridden a PTC tune? ->Ben

I have no idea what's up with this face but it comes up again and again in pictures of me on heelside. I'll call it my heelside face.

I believe that the boots in the picture are Burton too.

I have a brand new Canadian race suit in size large for sale.

Agreed, any team with non primary team colors shouldn't be in the league. These new teams should have been contracted long ago. Does anyone really even go to a Rockies game?
