G3 Skin Savers DO NOT USE

G3 Skin Savers DO NOT USE

Rating for this product: 3 February 17, 2010

Yup..
the cheat sheets plastic coating likes to come off and become part of your skins. Unfortunately, they are almost necessary for fast change-overs with wide splitboard skins.

The particles of plastic can be easily removed with a good pair of needle nose pliers.. but it still sucks.

I tried to get BD to acknowledge this problem, or provide a replacement, and I was met with silence. Not really surprising as I'm sure these aren't a real money maker for them.

Voile Split Kit (DIY)

Voile Split Kit (DIY)

Rating for this product: 4 April 29, 2008

I split an M3 millenium.. a very stiff board. Made an excellent splitboard.

Beware though with your mounting of the pucks. If you will be riding conditions where the board will be experiencing some abuse, or where equipment failure could mean serious injury or death, I advise epoxying the screws (as recommended in the instructions) and also epoxying the pucks to the topsheet.

I had a complete failure of two of the pucks during a wreck, when I cratered board first into a drainage that I didn't see coming at a pretty good clip. The two rear pucks ripped completely out. They had been screwed and glued carefully, and I've never had any problems with telemark bindings that I've mounted.

I filled all the damage with epoxy, and remounted the pucks (and epoxied them to the topsheet) and haven't had any problems since.

Also, many of the components can likely be reused. If you live on the EC like me, you may need to do a new split every 1-2 years due to damage. I have heard that Voile is open to selling the components ala-carte, so you can replace components that are broken or not reuseable (like the rivets for the tip and tail hooks).
