Tomo MPH

[jkb]

Are the stock rails pretty full?

All stock rail from XTR are pretty full

I think I've asked for tapered rails on every XTR order since that one time I didn't

*This is if XTR is doing the scrubbing. If someone like sharpeye or lost is finishing their own XTR's, then you're more likely to get the appropriate rail for the model.

I questioned Shey on the rails for a stock GMM2. He said, "They are his MPH style rails, boxy and a little fuller."

Besides the rails, has anyone else noticed the quad inside single concave isn’t as pronounced as in the Firewires? I don’t have one for a side by side, but when I see an Evo or a Hydroshort on the rack, I always do a double take how sharp the edge of the channels are. I love my XTR Revo, but it seems like a subtler version. At least vs Firewire; I’ve never seen a Tomo shaped version.

i got weird rails on a rocket I ordered which Lost finished. I asked for 2 5/16 with flat deck and full rails. Got the JKB rails that were super fouled out for a trestles homeschooler

Hmm. Maybe FW's file has changed, but a few years ago I always thought how much more pronounced/sharper the channels were on my XTR evos (3 of them) compared to the original FW evo I had. A few people commented on them also. More noticeable when riding too. But I haven't looked at a FW one in years. I see they make them in Helium now too. Dunno but maybe that's different than the LFT version.
Man, now I want to go ride my xtr Evo again. been a while but such a fun boar!

I think we all know there’s only one person who can solve this mystery…..a certain Tomo superfan…and we’ll need pics please….helium vs XTR vs Tomo eps!!

 

[JDJ]

Dan may have tweaked the channels on the Revo to be slightly different than the channels on the Evo.

Apologies for the absolutely horrendous picture but it’s the only one that I could find of the rails on my 2 1/2 Revo, which felt perfect FYI

Do you think @Aruka has several models of AC units from a few different manufacturers??

No way the board barn isn’t climate controlled, including heated epoxy floors for those chilly mornings.

Daikin you fakkas

 

[spjones123]

I want to YOLO a stubby hydro short with album (Greg Griff) twin fin placement

 

[JDJ]

Not sure AC is really a thing where Aruka lives.

I've had MPH's hand shaped by Dan and some scrubbed from XTR. Dan's MPH rails are a low boxy rail and XTR's are definitely fuller. I prefer Dan's rail.

I asked Dan about that and he said he was experimenting with the QISC a lot. (If it should continue through the nose, like on the Evo, or stop at the front foot, like the Cymatic. He was also experimenting on how shallow the channels should go. I think he ultimately decided to keep the more subtle than his original Evo designs were.

I'm actually curious how the channels will come out on the GMM2. I think they go all the way up to the nose, right? @jkb @oeste858 @sh3

 

[sh3]

It's deep but tapers out about a foot from the nose where the rocker kicks in. F*cking love mine.

And that's a Bryant, b*tches. #flex

Rad board. Great AC unit! @sh3 upping the game by including a solar unit teaser.

Awesome pic of the channels!

Flexing with the bryant for sure

My first GMM2 had deep concaves all the way to the nose:

My latest one has much shallower concaves just a little behind the front foot:

To be honest, I don't feel any benefits or deficiencies from either set-up. Rocker and fin placement is more important and both boards are magic.

No A/C unit to flex with, but I have whiskey barrels
