Randy T. Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 So I just picked up a second pair of TD2's from a local shop and I got the 3deg. discs since that is what I already have. But now I'm wondering if I should swap them for the 6deg. discs. I guess my question is whether it would a good or bad idea to have different amounts of lift on different boards? Would it feel awkward switching between boards? I have never ridden with anything except the 3deg. Thanks, Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpalka Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I couldn't tell much of a difference. I switched my front foot from 3 to 0, my back from 6 (inward cant) to 3 (straight lift) and it's all fine. I imagine some people can fine tune these settings, but I found that it doesn't make much of a difference to me. To really compare them I'd need to re-mount the same board on the same day every couple of runs. Curious what others will have to say. I imagine you'll be just fine with the difference, and that any feeling of awkwardness will disappear after 3-4 turns. tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istvan Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 My 2 cents: ride flat. In case your boot sticks out, buy a wider board. Best, István Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Try out some new stuff. Worst that could happen is you don't like it. Then you can trade out with someone here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 At some point I think it all comes down to preference. I've used 3/6, 3/3, and 0/3 at various times. I recently switched my carving decks from 3/3 to 0/3 because the flat front foor seems to offer more unrestricted movement. The 3* on the back foot is pure lift. I run 6/0 on my powder deck, it gives me a very natural stance for powder riding. Bottom line: if you are a tinkerer, here's your chance to satisfy your tinkering urges. If not, and you're happy with 3/3, no reason to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 What I found out when I switched from 0 to 3 degrees is that I had to widen my stance to get a similar feel (knees at the same distance one from another). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
