Chouinard Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Modified Titanflex bindings with 10 mm center riser and orange Gecko pads. Definitely more feedback than the Titanflex foam pads but not enough time to determine if it attenuates chatter. Does not compromise the board flex (Thirst) like the full plates did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Ah... that's what you were up to... super cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Good idea. I found the Titanflex foam pads way too soft & squishy. Felt like I was standing on a balance ball. How do you think that setup compares to td3 sidewinders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chouinard Posted March 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Never tried td3 sw but I think they provide lateral flex. These won’t because the center is fixed…no opportunity to rotate around longitudinal axis. Tempted to make the drive to Bessemer based on the latest forecast…what’s 8hrs +/-?

F2's have similar lateral play as sidewinders. The sole of the boot rocks back and forth on the toe & heel blocks. You can see it if you clamp in and move your boot side to side. Sidewinders were designed to mimic that F2 side to side play using an axle in the toe & heel blocks. Indianhead/Blackjack are open Th-F-S-S the next couple of weekends (weather permitting), and then that's it. Should be good this weekend after the past 2 storms. P.S. just noticed that you have stepins. I suppose that negates any lateral flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same bindings, where do you find those Gecko pads? That's something I could try as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chouinard Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 Milled a cutting board down with a router to slightly less than 10cm. I sourced stainless bolts that hold the toe and heel blocks to the binding base but extend thru the bottom so I could thread on some left over bumpers from a set of gecko plates. If you find a source of bumpers let me know because I have another setup that needs more bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabber Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Also interested in more bumpers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
