What’s a good bevel angles (base and edge) for a Lib Tech Skate Banana with Magne-Traction? I’m a strong intermediate rider and ride in all conditions from deep powder to hardpack. Thanks for your help.
I believe it's factory +1/-1 between that and the rocker you shouldn't need to change the bevel. The bananna is really a dedicated park board that floats powder because of rocker. It would not be my board of choice for hard pack, steps and ice.
Thanks for the advice. I’m actually replacing an old banana that I rode for last 3 seasons and I absolutely love it. Getting used to it was a bitch, but after few days I was starting to see advantages of reverse camber. Magne-traction really works well on hardpack and ice. I didn’t realize that banana came with beveled edges, will need to keep this in mind when next time I tune it. Thanks again for the info.
Red, you cant honestly tell me you don't feel a major difference between the ag and bananna on ice and hard pack. If you didn't feel a difference wouldn't you only need 1 board instead of a park and all mt setups?
I ride the mt (magna-traction) boards on pack and ice because I DO notice the difference with them. I ride my DH otherwise. Sorry, wasn't very clear on that post.
You might want to double-check that with them, as it is inconsistent with what Mervin (and others) have told me. For instance, I am pretty sure the T. Rice has different stock bevels (in fact, I believe the bevel for T. Rice varies along the length of the edge).
Common issue with customer service guys at many snowboard brands - they tend to reply quickly, but the response is often inaccurate or plain wrong. Never Summer and Mervin are the worst in that respect, in my experience.
