craig Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I recently acquired an F2 Speedster RS 176, that I think is from 2002. It looks almost identical to the one in the link below, except that it has an elongated white triangle graphic in the center of the nose and tail. http://www.blue-tomato.de/preview/F2/f2_speedsterrs_01.htm The board looks as though it already has the conshox built in (based on the shape of the topsheet), and the description (in German) of the 2001 board seems to suggest that it does... but I thought this didn't happen until 2005 or so. Would this board benefit from a Conshox? thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmut Karvlow Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 It is built in. adding one would stiffen the flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 sorry to resurrect an older thread, but the conshox makes a huge difference. I tried my F2 without it and then later with it. It feels like a completly different board. Get one if you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Gleb, you're right. It makes a huge difference. The stiffness in the center of the board is doubled and camber is added too. Sometimes this is good, but in other cases it makes the board worse. It is most definitely a personal choice, and for me the Conshox was a bad idea for a Silberpfeil. The only way anyone is going to find out is to try it for themselves.
