Okay, so the zips run a touch long so a boot fitter insisted I needed a 275. for my 282 foot. The sizing he suggested is generally correct.
I have an exceptionally high volume foot.I don’t want to return these as I don’t want to be that guy... I should of insisted on the 285s
$400 plus actual shipping.
this is a small discount and at the moment it’s a fairly hard size to get.... -

If you're having heel hold issues in a Zipfit you probably don't have enough cork.
Yup!

Obviously I’m gonna keep the td2s
11 hours ago, Mr.E said:I'm going to shoot you my email- please send photos. I lost track of the models and want to see if this is the one I was thinking.
Yeah, it’s kinda hard to keep up with all this stuff!

West System G-Flex. I used it on a Nidecker Ultralight 5 years ago and it has been fine. I popped the sidewall out like yours and delaminated the topsheet as well. Clean it up with acetone, let it dry thoroughly, clamp it up and leave it for 24 hours. Tape off anything you don't want the epoxy to adhere to.
Yup, thus far it’s been treating me very well for a variety of projects

Still looking for a plate?
-
This is the regular plate Not the light version. I have both the UPM and 4x4 mounts for it. Let me know which ones you want.
the plate was my spare, MAYBE four days of use.
$215 plus shipping.
if you have a set of td3s in the intec flavor or a set of SG bindings we can work out a trade.
I can post pics if anyone is interested. -
Mine is a 163 I think, tighter sidecut 275 width. It’s an animal

Bruce built me one last year. His hieroglyphics calls it the "MFS" (Mark Fawcett special?).
Mark coaches the canadian Paralympic team. Pretty sure Bruce is/has supplied the team with boards....
I have one too mine isn’t asym though, regardless, best softboot carver I’ve been on that comes in a small package
-
Thinner, stiffer, taller. I like them.
no foam underfoot, use a decent footbed with them
Ahh, I’m using them in softboots
should pair well with taller hardboots

Suffice to say I like them better than the Genesis X, but the GX were good too. On the Nows, it's a must to reverse the back foot toe strap so the buckle doesn't catch and break off on a deep toeside. I have not tried Flows or any sb bindings with a metal baseplate so I don't have a lot to compare to. Very happy with the Nows though.
Same, not perfect but they function so well in some regards they’re worth the trade offs.

So, if weight doesn’t bother you....... bomber BP bomber power plates, ride el hefes. Seems like a knee injury waiting to happen and the stack height is........ spectacular but it will isolate you pretty well.

Yeah fair enough. Personally, I'd make it stiffer for my 85kg. I think the weight range is a bit broad for it. I would say 65-80kg. But that's just me and I feel I'm at a point where I'm more in touch with my preferences than I was say 5 years back. I always found myself on the edge of pushing it too far. But I still think it's the easiest board to carve dynamically on and look good. Pity I've never looked good!
Yeah, IDK, my 162 was made for a dude that is 100lbs less than me. That thing could be a touch stiffer but I don’t think I’d benefit from it all that much. I’ve ridden boards that were unridable for me they were so soft that I could not control the turn but this is not the case with the kesslers made for the normal guy weight range, they work realllllllllly well for me.

I never rode the 4mm lite, but I felt the 5mm V1 was too stiff in every way. Your plate sounds like it might be more like an Apex X, just taller. So I’d say my answer to your question is no. And I don’t think a UPM Vist plate exists.
Anyone that rides sugarloaf have 5mil plate? Wanna try one, I’m fat, the stiff 4mil is almost too soft for me.......

I have a set of Hangl plates that I pulled off a used Prior wcrm metal a few years ago because they made the board seem too heavy without helping my riding. Anyone here have an opinion as to whether it would be worth it to put them back on next season?
Yeah, in a narrow set of conditions hangls work really effing well. The rest of the time they are the pits.
Icy day with a moderate amount of chop and they work every bit as well as most other systems at low but not slow speeds.
the rest of the time they’re too heavy, don’t filter as much out as most other systems, too heavy, have too many parts to lose, are too heavy, put a lot of pressure on the points they mount to the board, are too heavy, are a nightmare to swap between board and, did I mention they’re too heavy?
The hangls in my experience work way way better on a slalom type board than any other type of board. I still have a hangl only Kessler I contemplated T-nutting it but could bear the idea of hurting the old girl. That board, is the finest piece of engineering I’ve ever been lucky enough to attach to my boots.

What’s the waist on the Rossi?

The thanks was for buying it, would of been a divorce if I pulled the trigger, was close.
You just saved a marriage, you’re proof not all heroes wear capes.

Apparently I got the last slot for 2019.
Going with a 160 BX, decambered nose, 27cm wide, and probably carbon for extra pop.
Not sure about the sidecut. Thinking 8/10/9 since the role of bigger sidecut cruiser is filled by the DO. I kinda want a quick all mountain thing.
Any thoughts?
I ****ing love mine with roughly the same specs as yours. ****ing love it.

I wouldn’t trust one ratchet to hold me in. I put softboot bindings through the ringer
Ehh, it’s an upgrade from most splitboard bindings. And that’s what it seems to be. A splitboard binding. Seen some spectacular failures of the mainstream stuff so overall maybe there’s an improvement here.....

Used twice, molded once (but I think the guy doing the molding undercooked them. In retrospect, he may have just been sweeping up around the place while the legitimate boot fitter was taking a lunch break). Happy to send pictures, but they look virtually new with a couple of rub marks on the rear logo from taking them in an out of shells. I'm wanting to love the tongue liners, I really am, but the wrap liners may be preferred by my dainty shins.
I’m the opposite, wraps take up a lot of volume.
do these come in different thicknesses? If so what volume are they?

I’m pretty fat, pretty poor, have a variety of UPM plates and will feed you if you’re on the east coast at any point.
need some flies tied? I can do that for you, I’m good at that. If you want to fish in western Maine I can show you around.
I’ll maybe need to ship it, maybe even have someone pick it up for me.

Would i be out of line to suggest that riding duck requires or encourages peddling more so than forward alpine stance hence the binding fatigue.
Nope, not at all, where the flows hinge the higher the angle I’m guessing the higher the uneven load on the frame instead of mostly even on the cable. The cable is what is supposed to be carrying the load, evenly, pretty much in the middle of the highback.

looking at this pic(hard to tell): it looked like Drupi's spring system and not stock Deeluxe? the MS spring system does look fancy.
Agree that having options are wonderful for us.http://snowboardshop.co.kr/shop/sub_detail.asp?prod_idx=293
wishful thinking on my part: "The 265mm, 270mm mermaid uses a 292mm shell" -- which sound perfect for my feet (in between size)
Guessing "mermaid" is the version of bladder/liner come with?Aaaaaand that’s the third forward lean adjustment doohickey I’ve seen on it.
