ACSS - Advanced Carving Spring System for Deeluxe

[Pogoandi]

Hello Abrax

do you have a system in stock or how can I order one.

Greetings Andi

[Abrax]

I will announce this on Saturday. Still need some polishing...

[Abrax]

Dear riders!

The season is comming and first ACSS sets are prepared and ready to be sent!

So finally you can start sending your orders

In 2013/2014 season we will produce just the basic ACSS set. The price didn't change and it is still 55 euro for a shipped full taxed ACSS set for two boots. I'm sorry, it is not possible to produce colored version before the end of the year 2013.

You have a choice between the two spring sets:
WHITE SPRINGS: it is a basic spring which is the same spring as it was last years, it is perfect for a rider whose weight is in the range between 60 and 80 kg. It does not mean that lighter people can't use them but it may feel a bit too hard for them. It's the softest possible flex.
BLACK SPRINGS: it is 3 times stiffer spring, perfect for advanced or heavier riders. The flex is a bit shortened, stability at higher speed is much better. Rider's weight should not be less than 80kg.

I've tested several other stiffnesses, checked the stiffness with Northwaves and Arnaud's UPZ ACSS and finally decided to propose just the two above. 2nd set matches Northwave's springs and Arnaud's harder setup.

If you wish to buy just a spring set separately (to try the springs with your advanced technique or just because your weight has changed) I can propose you a springs set sold separately (the 4 springs).

A spring set costs 23 euro shipped and taxed in europe.

Payment is possible by a wire SEPA or SWIFT bank transfer or with a PayPal.

Please send me PM and I will give you the payment details.

Track 225 is too soft - not recommended for extremecarving.

Edit 12.9. : too soft for a 70 kg-person - and so of course not recommended in this case.

Track 225, too soft?, depends on your weight. Nice light to middle weight girl boot.

looking forward to hintertux now i m just tuning my 225 with the acss..now i read that the deeluxe 225 are "girly boots or featherweight-carving-boots"...unfortunately i m male and weighing 81kg...now my question: will i ever be able to ec??? at least i will have to change my nick to girly-gerho...

Hi Gerho

You can practice EC with any boots, but some will allow you a better feeling than others (same for the board). If you are in a learning phase and feel comfortable with the 225, keep your actual boots !

[Hans]

Just a question about the preload and how to dial in the ACSS. If I install the ACSS, I find that my boots are too much in the front position. How can I lessen this so that I have less frontload in my boots/stand up more upright?

Cheers, Hans.

hans, i have the same problem but i think my problem is that i mixed up the "big" and "little" spring: i mounted the big one below and the small one up...did u check this?

arnaud, due to a limited snowboard-investment-budget, which is strictly limited by my wife i have 2 options:

- buy new boots and binding and keep my old-school-boarderx
- keep the acss-tuned-225 as well as the snow pro race binding and buy a SWOARD

let me think what you would suggest to do

You forget the 3rd option .... change your wife

An up-to-date board is more important then new boots. Many good EC carvers use successfully Deeluxe boots. New boots may give you a better accuracy (and also maybe some pain is the liner doesn't fit your feet ...) but it's not a key point.

I just made no changes at all to this system.

Hi guys... 81 KG's here... Succesfull EC with 93, 87 and then 83 kg's... The weight is not so important factor. First EC was made on softer springs, then I've changed to harder ones and still success. You will see on SDT in Hintertux. I own Raichle 225 with ACSS and cut shells. Boots are heavily modified but this still does not make the trick.

Most is made with the right board (let's say 45%, then 45% goes to the right technique and then maybe 10% is made because of the boots.

When I've bought my first Swoard my wife has told me that she will cancel our marriage... But then I've shown her first good backside and she has forgotten me the price of the board

Don't listen to Arnaud, wife is important, talk to her gently

Does anyone know if Abrax is in holidays? I wrote him a PM one week ago to place an order but he didn't reply me yet.

Hehey,

I read the instructios on the first two pages but wonder how to detach the big bolts - I`m worried to damage my boots.

EDIT:
All right, I was successful.
