hachis Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Hi there, Looking for some help ... I hope you'll help me ... My problem is: #1: A BURTON ALP 6.9 DECK #2: F2 INTEC TITANIUM BINDINGS #3: A donkey not able to match #1 and #2 together... I previously had a P.J. and I customised my variplates to adapt the FTWO bindings on. BUT BUT BUT .... Everything went wrong when I tried to put the bindings -and the variplates- on my ALP !!! None of these two systems worked and the bolts were too large to fit in the inserts of the board. Did someone have the same problem? How can I solve it? Thanks a lot for your help.

hachis Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 It seems I have found a solution ... Filing down gently the discs of my bindings. Everything looks O.K. . Lets see when there will be snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardfast Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Your Burton alp has a 3 hole insert pattern and you might need a disc from f2 that works with that pattern? Other brands of snowboards use the 4 hole insert pattern. I can't tell from the picture if you are lined up properly over the inserts with that disc? You might post more pictures to make it possible to tell? Burton Variplates will not work with your Burton Alp as they were made for the 5 hole pattern that Burton used to use years ago.

hachis Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 As said, I filed down the grooves to fit the insert pattern. I removed (approx) 1.5 mm each side. Now, it works and I can reach my 50cm. stance. I'll keep you posted if any problem happens. Right now, I can't test it as there's no snow in the southern Alps ...

hachis Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 EXCELLENT!!! If I knew this before! thanks a lot! And I've found the dampers I need ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hachis Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Bump to say that they are amazingly high ... for the S&H charges.... they ask 30EUR. to ship from Italy to France ... I received a compound from the U.S.A. for less! I asked them because I'm also looking for dampening pads ... I was "surprised" that S&H is twice the price of the dampers! ... May be a good deal for overseas shipments ... as I've understood, it's the same wherever you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
