New rails for a Pint showpiece

[Lemur]

These new 357 rails are way too nice for a everyday rider.

[Lia]

@lemur Oooooooooomg I wanna see these on your board like now!

[NotSure]

@lemur those are the titanium ones arent they... smh

[Lemur]

@notsure No these are just the aluminum version.

[Sirgu]

7075 aluminum, to be stubbornly precise.
@NotSure - True is, this Pint/Pint-X version of these are step towards the similarities of slimmer-ish titanium version (aka 'DaVinci rails').
As of the time of writing titanium ones are GT exlusive only and sold out ever since.

@lemur nice!

I remember seeing a guy riding the GT versions out. Apparently he was with 1wheelparts and was testing the rails

looked cool as hell!

Well, it's been 4 days. Are they on yet?! lol Interested in your feedback.

I have the FAF rails and really, really like the 7 degree tail. Have often wondered what it would be like to have a 3.5 nose but I usually tilt it up around 2 degrees anyway considering the FAF nose is .25" lower.

@sirgu i wonder about these two features tho. u think they used FEA when they designed them? its an interesting design choice. you could technically integrate 'suspension' into the rails via trussing.

@notsure said in New rails for a Pint showpiece:
...you could technically integrate 'suspension' into the rails via trussing.

Good call. They did that actually:

"These rails use an open truss system. This open truss system saves weight, increases strength, and provides an opportunity to introduce "Tuned compliance". Tuned Compliance is a small amount designed-in flex. This slight flex increases ride comfort without sacrificing ride "Feel"."

Jeez, don't like them at all. Prefer these ones by FAR:

@lemur those look super cool! Do they have them in any other colors?

[Lemur]

@cheppy44 They did come in green, black, gold and silver.

[Sirgu]

( @cheppy44 & @Lemur )
... or in few other colors as well. Now. :D

With Tech-Rails you'll never know how long your info stays valid, because variety of options keep changing back and forth in a blink of eye everyday.
