Yup still in one piece and looking to get out and make some turns. As for you screw it looks like a M6 phillips machine screw with a pan head. The length that you need is the length of the threaded portion from uder the head. I can't tell that from your picture. You can either get the phillips pan head or you could subsitute a hex cap screw like the one in the picture below. If you let me know the length of threaded portion then I can let you know exactly what bolt you need to order and if you order it tonight, you should have it by Friday. ->Ben

ACE hardware has a good selection of stainless metric hardware. They may have what you want. If you post a picture of the bolts that you are looking for I can try to figure out what you need and tell you the part number on McMaster and you can order them up.

Well said Billy. For all that haven't met Billy face to face, come to an event (WTC,SES,ECES) and meet Billy. He is the s*** both on a board and off. Once you meet him there will be no question about his skills or his personality. And you will feel stupid for being a d*** online. Billy is one of the coolest cats I know and he also is the REAL deal on a snowboard.

Indeed I am good sir. That board still rips. Would love to bring it out for you next we make make turns together.

If it's only one of the bolts then completly remove the other one and rotate the heel receiver ro remove the bolt. Once you get it out, throw that sucker away and get a new M8 bolt.

Seems to me that Dave did in fact give some advice there. "Don't tighten them so much". How do you get upset from from that remark? I don't understand why you are being so sensitive. ->Ben

Mounting hardware heads need grease. Do not grease the threads on them. Do not use a petro based grease like WD-40 or you will disolve your board. I use Pedros Syn Grease but Bomber Butter is just as good. I have also used Slick Honey as well. As for thread lock. I have heard bad things about that disovling the epoxy around the inserts. Do it if you want but a properly torqued bolt should not come loose. BTW a bolt can only be properly torqued if it is lubricated so the bolt head does not give friction. ->Ben

Well Blue Tomato is selling new F2 boards so I suspect that F2 is making alpine boards this year. http://www.blue-tomato.at:80/UtilAction.bto?whereFrom=list&pageAction=2&pageNum=1

The best way to "bug" Bruce is over email. He does read and he does respond so I would highly suggest that route instead of the phone.

No, but I guess it wasn't that important to me to drink beer.

Never said I couldn't.

I've stayed in the trailer several times. Never had to do anything more then pay for gas.

No, but I think we should make him that sign for the trailer for his birthday. Since he's taking it out west next year, I think it'll be a nice addition.

And from now on the stories will start, "This one time in the woods with Bob..." BTW, John & Ellen were there so it wasn't a total sausage fest. ->Ben

All parts have been sold!

I have one Bretton Woods ticket that is good until the end of the year. Weekend or weekday, works for either. If anyone is interested please email me at ben -at- bogeydog -dot- net $30 ->Ben

What's the motivation to post anything up here? It's all personal preference. Maybe you're thinking I'll point this out so someone on the Bomberonline "community" can see and take advantage. I highly doubt that their motivation is to point it out so that they can screw the cheapos that are hoping to hide in the shadows and try to get it for a steal. Remeber, somethings value is what someone is willing to pay. Maybe it's not you. But someone is willing to pay more and that is what that thing is worth at that moment. Don't get bummed out becuase you didn't get the great deal. There's other things in life to actually worry about.

How is that embarassing? I would wear that like a badge of honor. Also, since when should my purchasing descisions be based on the Bomberonline "community"?

Technically, something is ALWAYS worth what the market will bear. How big that market is, is variable. eBay is a big market and if you were selling something wouldn't you want the biggest market possible? Let's not be sour grapes becuse someone points out something on eBay. It is after all a free market. ->Ben

Thanks, that's my fault. I usually use the pull down on the name and I didn't see the link when I looked there. Thanks for the tip on looking in the info page. ->Ben

Brad, Since I couldn't email you I'll post this here. Although I would rather not sabotage anothers post I have no choice I guess. So sorry for hijacking this post. Anyway, I guess the Raichle Flexon is being produced by Dalbello again. It's a ski boot that some use to carve in so that may work for you in reducing the boots you need to carry out west. Use <a href = "http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=6754&highlight=flexon">this link</a> for more information on the boot. ->Ben

bump, bump, bump

Sorry, they have all been sold. Thanks for the interest. ->Ben

Still have one for sale, $25. Anyone?

Sean, There is a place that grows bamboo in the town that I live in. One of the few places in the US. The information about them if you are interested is: Burt Associates Bamboo (978) 692-3240 3 Landmark Rd Westford, MA 01886 ->Ben
