carvedog Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Guys, what's up with your eyes? Those are TD3/sidewinder red bails. I am drunk and loaded. Not used to seeing Bomber with red pieces that's all. I do need glasses too. And I am fat and fart at inappropriate times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I still think countering that twist might be the reason to off set the mounts on a plate opposite to the stance as in the JJA thread http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=353590#post353590 Apart from differences in board construction, a torsionally stiff plate, mounted on the outermost UPM inserts, will have the greatest effect in reducing twist while still allowing the board to bend/decamber. To my way of thinking, assymmetric/offset isocline plate mounts make no sense, nor does an assymmetric board core make sense on a isocline plate equipped snowboard. SunSurfer PS: The FIS Smugmug site http://fis.smugmug.com/ is a great resource for someone like me, on the far side of the world. Beautiful hi-res photos of both rider style and equipment.

fin Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yep, those are TD3 SW toe and heel assemblies on Sigi's board. He just direct mounts them. I am trying to get him to try the new BP Lower System as that is about as low as a direct mount system. We'll see. For those who already have their CARVE magazine, on page 93 is a sweet close-up of Sigi with our SideWinders.

Best statement/observation on plates I have heard in a long time ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 What makes sense and what people want is usually not very predictable. What actually works and makes sense may be more elusive.The quest continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 deeluxe tongues, cable and toothed clips on old northwaves. and still boot manufacturers aren't getting the message? Interesting. Can you put any spare cable /toothed clips on those NW? How easy to replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
