Race · positive rake

More nose-up for more front-foot pressure.

Positive rake lifts the board's nose slightly: you can fly with more weight on your front foot. It's the setting racers look for.

Wing area matters.

The smaller the wing, the more nose-up the board needs.

Torn between two values? Take the smaller one: too strong a correction is felt immediately at high speed.

Questions

Before you order.

Which angle should I choose?

Start from how you ride: more nose-up for racing, a neutral angle for comfort and progression. The smaller the wing, the more nose-up you need. If in doubt between two values, take the smaller one, or compare three angles with the Tuning Pack.

Do I need longer screws?

Yes. The shim requires longer baseplate screws than the original ones. Check the thread depth available in your track box and tighten progressively, in a cross pattern, without over-torquing.

Lead times and shipping costs?

Each shim is printed to order and shipped within 3 to 7 working days from Saint-Nazaire. Shipping €4.90 to a Mondial Relay pickup point or €6.90 for home delivery with La Poste, in France and the European Union. Pickup point delivery is free from €25.
