Where do you get those deletes? I've got the WTF rails and would love to get the deletes.

They are from the Floatlife but you can get it also from C&R.

I've got wtf's coming, is there a build tutorial somewhere, or is it a straightforward swap with the rails?
2
Really straight forward swapping the rails. If you can do a tire change, you can change your rails too. Just donāt mess up with the different screw sizes. The fit is also much tighter whatās good.

Cheers, have changed tire so should be right. Just wasn't sure if there were any tricky bits. The hardest part of the tire change is getting the tire on and off the hub

This seems like it'd be bad for trails but good for roads though...? For trails the more clearance you have the better, unless of course the trails you're riding are basically like smooth gravel-less dirt roads or something.

I only tested them shortly on road today in Mission so I canāt say how they perform on trails maybe I have to custom shape it. Will see ! š But what I can say theyāre outstanding in the riding experience. Itās like deep powder snowboarding with maximum control and nimbleness (the T2 does a good job here) itās almost like steering. When you accelerate it feels much saver and quicker (maybe also the Abec-7 ceramic Bearings comes in to the game) you can carve shortly like a champ. The only downside you feel your rear leg and feet. Iāll guess itās because of the nose down when riding slowly. Thereās is definitely a adjusting period but with some little tweaks and custom shaping for the trail or area you ride itās awesome. The Kush Wide will also add to amazing stability and locked in feel. A must buy.

Been riding WTFs for a bit now since they first came out. I love Mission but itās really difficult to ride Mission on the trails with these rails due to the lower front. I ride custom settings on both street and trails with these rails. Thatās the only downside IMO. The locked in feel has definitely saved me from eating it a few times when hitting some unexpected unforeseen obstacles.

Mind sharing your custom settings?

I would start with -1,+2.5,+7 and play with it from there. I believe Iām at -5, + 2.3, + 7 now. You may like that first number positive or negative depending on your style.

What's the purpose of the bent rail?
3
It lowers your feet below the wheel so youār more stable. Also the angle of the rail locks you in.
3
Oh ok. I feel like this would be worse for trails tho.
3
Nose and tail angle leave your front and rear drag clearance the same. It's only lower near the wheel - or at least that's the plan.
3
Have you felt the difference on that set up? Iām just curious lol. I ride all sorts of terrains. That off road is crazy tho.

Thereās a huge difference for sure. I just tested these bad boys shortly on street in Mission.

beautiful!!

Get some Flight Fins on that bad boy! Once you hit trails with them, I can't imagine ever going back.

How is your board so clean?
Mine has so many scratches around the front and back bumper. Even some on the pads.

Itās a new build š
