it a little bit hard ro explain in english.....the three "td2-nippels" on the plate... in witch direction do they have look if you dont have to turn them, because there is no canting?

/ /

Hi Bowen

I'm pretty sure I know what you are talking about.

Both 'single' tabs point to the center of the board.

Or

Back binding, the double tabs point to the tail.
Front binding, the double tabs point to the tip.

Hope this makes sense.

I think it doesn't really make that a difference, got my two tabs pointing behind, the front as the back binding.

Hi Guys

I read about the binding configuration I mentioned in the above post through Fin and the TD2 thread that he started. The thread was for all questions with regards to the new TrenchDiggers2.

But ... Bob Jenny, TD2 co-designer, also stated that placing the disks in ‘any’ position will NOT affect the boards’s natural flex during a turn. He stated this in the same thread.

So, I guess you can put the disks in any position. I choose the ‘symmetrical’ pattern because of Fin’s comments and to ensure that the boards’ flex pattern would also be consistent and symmetrical.

Cheers
Rob

ok, if i understand evertihing right, than you can set it like you want, because it have no effecte on the board( it is like it where a round plate like the cateks)

so you fix it like on the manuall, with the single one to the center for both bindings?!

Yes, Bowen. Two tips in the front and two tips in the back, so in the center/inside you get each of the binding one tip pointing at/to the center of your board.

Hey,

Just one addition to the above: although it definetely does not make any difference at all, but if you look carefully, you'll see a dot on the cant disk at one of the tabs, and an other dot on the opposite side, exactly half-way between the other two tabs.

The 90 degree marking on the center disk should point to these dots. This itself defines which tab would point to the center of the board (obviously tha tab with the aforementioned dot).

The dots have more function if it is not a flat cant disk, but a 3 or six degrees. Then the dots give you a help to check the lift angle (for most of the people it is 90 degrees, but you can play around a bit with that).

If its a flat disk, then the dots will help you to make sure that the tabs are precisely pointing to the center of the board and the two disks are put on the board in the very same position.

Sorry if the above was too obvious or too detailed

Kindest,

István

maybe this will help? It is true that the tabs can be aligned in any direction you want. You rotate the cant disc to change the blend of cant and lift. If you align the cant disc with your binding angle, you will have all lift and no cant. If you align the cant disc with the long axis of the board, you will have some inward cant and some lift.
