lowrider Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 You will get used to it. (Bomber plate ?) as long as plate hardware is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 You get used to it or you can buy the plate specific round base rings and bumpers. Pretty sure they have a lower stack height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the "BP" cant plates, they are minimal height and I prefer that. There is also a difference between the TD3 models, TD3 SW is higher than regular TD3 model. You have not specified which you are using. TD2 to TD3 regular are similar. The Sidewinder does add some height for it's mechanical needs. Fin and Bomber has done a great job of keeping it at a minimum yet very strong. BOMBER!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teach Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 TD3 uppers with TD2 e-ring, center disk and screws is 4 mm lower than all TD3. It's also lower than all TD2 as the TD3 sole blocks have lower stack height than TD2. The ultimate is TD3 uppers + BP lowers. Elton runs TD3 lowers with a double TD2 suspension kit and TD2 uppers.

kieran Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 more heel ramp than RC10's, there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I run non-Sidewinder TD3's on a Coiler plate w/ Bomber hardware... and don't feel it's too high. Switch to Sidewinders, and it feels too high. The Coiler plate is a couple mm thicker than the Boiler plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrutton Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 It's fine. That's what I run with the standard base plates. I do like the newer plate specific base plates. I might switch mine over to those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpletiesto Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 You could try switching to f2 bindings. I believe they have a lower 'stack height'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2012Alpine1 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks for all the info. Rode it and didn't even notice the height to buzy smiling and laughing. Get a plate before you get another board. Technology is a lot o fun!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on your canting , probably not. With the some of the base options it is actually taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpletiesto Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Are you sure about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursle Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ha I run the f2 titanflex on an apex plate, the rear has two 4mm spacers, the front has one 4mm spacer, and the whole binding sits on a 1/2" raised platform for "flexion" think sidewinder sideways movement. To high is relative, no boot out, lots of leverage. So the f2 has adjustability, you can stack the spacers to get more degrees of lift, putting two 4mm spacers gives 8 mm of lift, yes the f2 can be taller then the bomber bindings. What's with all the height hate? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboarderdude Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 No such thing as too high. I run TD3 SI SW on a vist, and love being ~4 inches off the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
