Rome 390 boss question - Snowboarding Forum

Buckeye3343 · 02-28-2013, 11:46 AM

I just put the large/xl rome 390 bosses on my rome artifact 150 rocker 2012. The angles are at -15/15. The base of the bindings slightlyyyy hang over on the toe side. About 1 cm. should this be ok or will it hit the snow? Thanks. Edit: here is a link to the image. https://www.dropbox.com/s/o0ovlsjgcc...2012.46.52.png

that's gonna dig into the snow for sure. there's no way you can ride a board like that. better sell it.

That's nothing. Any boot overhang will catch before that does.

Can you bring in the ramp a bit?

I'm just guessing, but I think that would hit the snow before a boot would (assuming the boot overhangs the same), being the boot is elevated.

What do u mean "bring in the ramp?" I've had multiple answers here I'm not sure what I should do

for the record i was being sarcastic with my first comment. there is absolutely nothing wrong with the overhang you have. A little bit of overhang is good, it helps you control the board better. Only time to start worry if you take really steep carves and have half an inch overhang or more. just leave it how it is, you're fine.

mine sticks out about that much too on my 150 NS Evo...never had an issue with catching.

Haha sorry I didn't realize. I'm kinda new to all this "technical" stuff. Thanks for the info
