    Default Toe blocks

    Here are some pics of a toeblock that I have built using some of the many scraps of carbon fiber I have laying around. If you have any input on the design, it would be much appreciated.

    I will be offering these in pairs of 2 for $28 shipped in the continental usa. If interested either drop me a pm or email me at chicagolongboards@comcast.net

    nice! i would be all in on buying one. only think i can input is maybe have it so it is an easy bolt on with the hardware (maybe i am the only one that likes this?) and adjustability. i have seen some people that keep one hole fixed, and have an arc for the second hole

    ?'s
    1. how much would one of those run me?
    2. it appears to be symmetrical so it would be universal for regular and goofy right?
    3. would there be a way to make regular/goofy specific models or would that just kinda be uneccecary?

    Edit: could you post a pic of a mounted one? possibly with deck dimensions.

    Or make it flipable so you can fit it either regular or goofy.

    It has carbon fiber on both sides, so it can be used either way. I can add 2 more holes that will allow you to move the block farther to the sides.

    at $14 apiece, it's cheaper than that aluminum thingamajigger....plus, sexiest toe block I've seen.

    looks good, but you may have just given me an idea for how to use some fiberglass scraps from a board I just demolished...

    You only need one, but the requests I was getting for these were for pairs.

    Here's pics of one mounted. I bought two and will be using them this year. I've only been able to spend a little time on the deck since I've mounted it but so far I really like them.

    I think I used a 2.5" screw from the Khiro mounting kit.

    The bolt will spin with it unless the nut catches on something or it is VERY tight.
