shintowin Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have one and a half sets (six total) of the F2 Race Titanium rubber shims that go under the plates for damping. These are $25 a set so if you need a couple do the math and make me and offer. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarvingScooby Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Interested. Try to use on different binding with similar shape if can. U have pixs to share? Or sent me direct carvingchanel at yahoo dot ca RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shintowin Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 ...about 2.5mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 they are actually for damping? i thought they were just for stopping the t-nuts scratching up a pretty topsheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont stop F2 Race Intecs from breaking your pretty shiney board, but they do dampen a bit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_1 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 They wont stop F2 Race Intecs from breaking your pretty shiney board, but they do dampen a bit as well. Can you elaborate? I know of at least one board builder that reccomends F2 bindings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transistor Rhythm Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 All I can say I've broken a board with them and other people have had similar experiences. Intec bindings are always a bit stiffer, the F2 Intec can get a lot of pressure on one point. I still use Intecs though, but not on more delicate and/or wider boards, I use the regular Titanium bails on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transistor Rhythm Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I have been searching for a thread about a broken Virus where the manufacturer claimed the bindings were the problem, can't find it anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_1 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Thanks for the clarification. Interesting that only the intec version is a problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDY_2_Carve Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I've got about 100 days on my F2 Intec Titanflex and not a single problem. Don't read too much into this one guy and his "others" that had issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I need a couple. Are they new or used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transistor Rhythm Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm not saying the F2 Race Intecs are bad bindings, but the small dampening rubbers won't do much compared to TD3 elastomers. Also all intec bindings are stiffer than their bail counterparts, you're locked in at three points instead of two. Boards are getting softer and more fragile nowadays, so stiffer bindings can cause problems. I've got about 100 days on my F2 Intec Titanflex and not a single problem. That's an entirely different binding, it probably has even more flex than regular Titanium bail bindings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavechaser Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I've smashed through topsheets with them on freeride rigs (Volkl Cross 167) but never even a dent on my race boards - mounted 4x4 with nothing other than the shims he's selling.

I realize you are talking specifically about the intec version of the F2s, but could you please offer more evidence about them damaging boards? I do agree that these pads are not doing much more than protecting the topsheet from the toe and heel bail mounting T nuts. They are necessary to have under the binding though and are pretty easy to lose if you are careless. The F2 binding itself is more damp than any of the TDs I have ever tried, including the SW. Except for the F2 Intec Race Titanium may be stiffer than the SW in most directions of motion (it has been a few years since I have ridden them).

No, intec bindings are hardly used by anyone for racing. They are way too stiff. Standard bail F2 Race Titaniums are the top bindings for racing. They are not harsh on a board from anything I have personally experienced, seen, read, or heard. If you have other evidence, please post it.

I do remember a forum thread that got totally out of hand on http://www.frozen-backside.de about a broken Virus board involving F2 race intec bindings. I'm afraid it got deleted at some point. Maybe somebody frequenting FB still remembers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
