lowrider Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Are you planning on production for public if so what would you charge ? Is wardware plate specific or adaptable to other plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Is anyone ready to commit to trying a plate if you had the opportunity? Is anyone going to buy one when available ? Does anyone have enough snow left to try one before this season ends ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 So roby69's plate looks like it would mount on the standard insets ? BTW looks the business for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 My guess would be yes since the binding inserts are directly in line with mounting hardware but it's hard to tell with all the snow on the board!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacopodotti Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi Roby Looking at the photoes it seems to be more thick than 2,5cm. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred Gruumer Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I don't see a multitude of plate systems unless some standardization starts taking place... I can't buy a board then have to have there own special plate everytime... I Im not going to drill holes in a $1000 dollar plus board.. ain't gonna do it.. I hope something simple can be derived from all this that uses the standard 4 hole six pack or 8 pack... RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSS IDK, I don't see 4x4 being ideal for this sort of thing. seems like the apex cananda people did not either and went with the hangl insert pattern.

Shred Gruumer Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I sure some one will figure it out.. why would you want a board that looks like swiss cheese! I mean your gonna have a bunch of holes... Vist Holes, Apex holes, Hangle Holes.. Mass Holes... I threw that in.. its not really a plate...yet.. :lol: RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokkis Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think ApexComp. holes are equal to Hangl holes so one set less :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I don't see 4x4 being ideal for this sort of thing. absolutely right... follow the forces and minimize redirection and dissipation. Attachment of the plates right along the board edges makes the most sense because that is where the force needs to be directed. That is where the force will ultimately end up, regardless... because that is where the board gets its reaction force, the edge engaged in the snow. I think 'plates only' boards would be best served by migrating to an insert pattern out at the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp1 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Sure would be nice to be able to use the old 4X4 pattern so it could be used on existing boards without the other inserts in it though :)....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Pukas Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 solid carbon,a little flexable,25mm high with the plate, Hi Roby - nice looking plate from what we can see so far! Have you had any issues with the durability of the carbon fiber plate? I have to tell you (all) something funny - when I first saw the pics of the plate I thought it was a spoof - because I thought you just took a nice piece of CF and crumpled up some aluminum foil to make a bed to set the plate on top of the board. didn't realize until afterwards that your mounting plates were scribbled out. Duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Apex Composites site shown above now appears live with announcement taking orders in late May. Site also notes that the Apex plate fits the Hangl inserts pattern. SunSurfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 The Apex Race Plate won't work on standard 4x4 inserts. It fits inserts set up for that other plate. The one that starts with "H" and ends in "angl". I lol'd. Also, I like that they give Seb credit for his tent picture in the top right corner. I like this picture better: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valsam Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 No titanal no carbon no elastomere no steel edges no base and alot less wood than a board so if it costs 1/5 of a board and works this should sell like crazy! It looks like a skateboard without wheels and i think it should cost as much as one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
