dshack Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'll see if I can borrow a camera to take some pictures, but besides some scuffing, the only functional problem is one stripped cant adjuster. However, I bought a new replacement one from Bomber, and I'll include it. The boots are mounted with the red Indy tongue and spring-loaded RAB forward lean mechanism. They also come with the green suzuka tongues, and the normal 5-position lean devices. They've got black "race" tongues, too; I'm not quite sure how they compare in stiffness to the other two. The liners have been molded twice, and are in good shape. $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebu Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Is that a mod you did or is that something new to RAB? I would love that just for a hint of shock absorbtion on my heelsides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshack Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 No, it's a standard RAB. It, the tongue, and the rear spoiler are taken from the Indy. I find that the spring mechanism is pretty good; I can tighten it so it gets really flexy or crank it down so it barely moves (I'm only about 52 kg, though). Apparently over on Extremcarving people have modded it with a longer spring, but I'm not quite sure how. Anyway, the original suzuka tongues, spoilers, and 5-position lean mechanisms are included if you prefer those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Interesting. My rab only has a spring for the forward lean, but the brass nut is right up against the black housing on the top of it... edit like so... It does give me good ideas though. I might dismantle it and thread the whole thing, then stick a short stiff spring in there. I think it would really help keep the chatter down on my heelsides.

dshack Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 And there's not a little black spring just kind of sitting inside that housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 And there's not a little black spring just kind of sitting inside that housing? I don't believe so. I'm at work, so I can't tell you positively, but I'm about 98% sure. Possibly different rabs for different boots? My boots are raichle 124s, so they didn't have rab originally, but the guy I bought them from liked the 124's lean adjuster, so he swapped them.

Guest Flagcarver Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Can't find the size of the boots anywhere in all of the threads posted so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshack Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Sorry, the little "M25" in the title indicates that they're Mondo point 25. I find that Raichles actually size big, so you can probably squeeze into them with anything from a 25.0 to a 26.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Dshack, might post this on the main board to see if others know about this RAB? I don't recall seeing this. It may be a simple mod or? If you can borrow the camera again , perhaps a close up? If it is simply an added spring, it would reduce the upper cuffs ability to be "Stood Up" more. Changing the amount of adjustment you have available. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm considering trying a little mod on my rabs. What I think I would do is take them apart and thread the rest of the way up the shaft so its like a mod that ECers would do (as I read on the carvers almanac) and then that would give the room for a little spring if I can get my hands on some. If it doesn't work out right, I'd still be able to adjust the nuts back to where they should be without springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
