 |
|
| Here is the deal. My current Liquid Force setup has too small of bindings. The board is the Stance 138, perfect for my weight (175-180lbs). Well the shop owner says he can't find my size bindings for that board anymore cause its late in the season. He wants to sell me another setup with the right size bindings he has there instead. Well that board is the Synergy 137 and Liquid Force says 100-180 lbs for the 137. Me flexing from 175-180lbs..am I going to be too heavy for this board? |

| adam355, umm... why not just mount new bindings on that board instead of buying a whole new set up? |

Because the setups at the store are packages, it's not pick and choose a custom setup. Plus I am not putting blue and grey bindings on a red and white board. |

adam355, have you checked online then?
Seems like a huge waste of money if you're happy with your current board. |

| The smarter and cheaper thing would be to just get new bindings. Alot of places online have sales for just bindings or look on ebay I know I saw alot of new bindings on there for sale cheap. |

Thanks, I took your advice. I took the whole setup back and got the Synergy/Element setup. It's great.

Why do people not listen? I can't just take the bindings back without losing money, it is a PACKAGE! |

I am sorry I didn't realize you said that it was a new board that you just bought and could return, wait no I am not sorry you never did mention that. You only said that the store sells package deals never that you had the option to return your current board as far as I was knew you could of had the board for alittle while. Before you decide to give someone a hard time for trying to help you you might want to make sure you didn't leave out all of the facts. |
