Dave* Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Just found myself some burton race plates with the carbon fiber base plate for dirt cheap that are brand spankin new. Are they safe to use for general free riding ie is the base plate going to frag/explode/do the nasty like the old physics base plates or should I be using them as spare parts (bails etc) for my regular race plates.

mirror70 Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 What part of the binding is made of CF? The whole baseplate, or just the center disc? I actually did make a pair of CF bindings. They ended up being way too stiff and uh.....caused an unexpected side effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Al T. Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I have a pair of those which I used to use a lot. The base plate is carbon and the disk came in aluminum. They're fine but will feel very soft compared to Bombers because of the bails. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleaman Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I actually did make a pair of CF bindings. Do you mean you own the Burton Factory? or maybe you are Jake Burton in disguise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirror70 Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 No, I mean I made a pair CF bindings myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirror70 Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 The bindings turned me into a short, fat, 40 year old, man with no job, no life, and a strong Lawnguyland accent. Actually, the bindings broke the topsheet. At the very least, I should have mounted them on a rubber gasket like with the TD2s. Revision1 will make use of UD fabric which should help a bit, too.
