Jamie Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I just got a set of Burton Elevators on Ebay and I’m wondering if I can mount my TD1’s over them to decrease my angles a bit? (I take an 11 or 12 US) The Elevators seem a bit flimsy, so I’m afraid that they might snap pretty easily because they’re made for a freestyle set up I think. Anyone have any experience with this?

David Kirk Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I think you're right to be suspect. I've used thos Burton pieces in the past and I say be afraid. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlpentalRider Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 they are designed for plastic bindings (i.e. softboot). I would not use them on alpine bindings, the stresses are going to be much greater and you are liable to crack them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Send Fin some e-mail he may have some of the 10mil lift kits left for the TD1s. You could not convince me to ride elevators with plates!!! I would not try it unless you are willing to wreak some gear and maybe your self!

Gtanner Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hey Jamie, Last winter I had to come up with a quick slalom setup (don't know if you were there that night) since Steve was setting up a really tight slalom course (8m radius) for training that night. So I mounted my burton plates on my softboot board complete with the elevators and then pushed like a mad-man. It worked well since the burton plates have a much larger footprint than the TD's, and the burtons are no where near the stiffness of TD's. So don' t mount the TD's on the elevators or you will be looking at a blow-out for sure and there goes your season. Take care, Gord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted November 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 If Steve was setting a slalom course chances are I wasn't there :p Thanks for the input guys, I guess I'll save the elevators for my soft boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
