Chubz Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 If anyone has the RT 173 (sabertooth) and has dialed in their sweet spot I would be interested in orderr for me to start somewhere. The boards works well on heelside, but seems to undulate in my toeside turns. It is a matter of finding the sweet spot or just my technique. Toesides were my strongest turn, when I rode an Aggression (Volant) 173 GS, but once I got on the RT, they disappeared. Any input is welcomed.

skategoat Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 What do you mean by sweet spot? Are you talking about binding placement? My RT has only 3 inserts per binding unlike the usual 4. So basically, you have 4 options for placement - both back, both forward, front forward/rear back, front back/rear forward. I experimented and decided both forward worked best for me on hardpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thats all I was looking for. I'm not one for spending time on the hill fiddling with bindings. Nice reply RJ opening chuckled. I think I'm one back, so I will move foraward to try it out. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Greg - you should be just back of center (of the effective edge) to start, if the heelsides are washing then move back a bit. Too far forward has a more dangerous possibility....... If you're centered on the inserts, you are probably in the place the factory intended, which is not a bad thing. Where was your stance on the Aggression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Greg: I should clarify. My bindings are F2s which allow some back and forth adjustment in the binding placement (about 1 inch) because the screws fit through slots, not holes. So, while I have the bindings on the front two (of three) inserts, I have the screws at the very front of the slots. So, I am not in the absolute forward position, I am maybe 1 inch back from that. I hope I'm making sense. Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
