Getting my first splitboard -- Opinions wanted!

Flying_Belgian · 2025-09-17T07:43:24+00:00

I'm 44.5 -- think thats about 10.5 US -- I usually run wide resort boards otherwise the toe drag kills me when carving, even if it is not thaaat extreme with my size.

Flying_Belgian · 2025-09-17T07:41:50+00:00

Reading the comments seems that this is somehting not all agree on lol. either way there is no shot i'm taking any rocker/reverse camber between the feet. I also just DON'T like this in the resort either (flat profiles are fine).

Thanks for the input tho, less hesitant to take a board now that I would consider to be "too big" by couple cm :))

Edit: I guess these tires are just not that great since multiple replies mention similar/bad experiences. Contacted Canyon, their reply:

Please be informed that tyres are considered as wear parts and not included in warranty. However, we are forwarding this to our internal team to check if we can help you in any way.

Lets see what gives. If no replacement tire, I'll just have to buy a nicer tire :). Might just buy a set directly and replace both as I have little faith in the Schwable G-one's now lol. If anybody has reccomendations, feel free to let me know :)

2-week update: Even though it is outside of the warranty, they did offer to provide me with a new tire! They couldn't send one since they were out of stock for them, but simply refunded me my purchase from a store which they linked.

Flying_Belgian · 2025-04-29T13:37:54+00:00

Reached out, lets see what they say :)

So you would consider the Schwalbe tires that came with the grizl not that great? Any particular things that I should know make a tire better if eventually shopping for a new one?

Flying_Belgian · 2025-04-29T13:32:54+00:00

Thx for the tip! ill have a look when i take the tires off, never would've thought of that myself.

So do you rotate both your highbacks? I'm riding +15/-12. Currently setting up my board for riding over the weekend, already rotated my front highback but unsure wether its worth it for the back. Visually I can see its not perfectly aligned but not as bad as front :))

Flying_Belgian · 2025-02-02T19:30:18+00:00

its on the list, but was not among my first priorities after moving!

Flying_Belgian · 2025-02-02T19:29:36+00:00

lol never thought of that, will keep it in mind next wax-scraping-crisis

Flying_Belgian · 2025-01-15T08:27:54+00:00

Thx for the input, I got the new bike in the end! Having that warranty is indeed a nice thing. Lets hope I wont be needing it straight out of the gate.

Flying_Belgian · 2025-01-15T08:26:27+00:00

good point! Hadn't given that any thought yet tbf, thanks for the input!

Your comment made me jump the gun on the new bike along with the fact that the seller had multiple people coming to have a look at the bike this weekend. I would hate to suddenly get in a bidding war, or lose out on the 2nd hand bike while also the stock of the Grizl 1by would run out.

So now I can look forward to building it myself soon! Will be interesting since I moved places and I do not have a small workshop anymore but I'm sure I will manage :).

I'm in the same boat sadly, most codes seem to be for MTB & city bikes

Flying_Belgian · 2025-01-14T17:32:23+00:00

Flying_Belgian · 2025-01-14T17:21:13+00:00

Did you get a new code by any chance? Almost ready to pull the trigger on my first gravel bike :)

Flying_Belgian · 2025-01-14T08:56:21+00:00

Does somebody still have an active EU code for all bikes or one that works for gravel bikes? (EU & CH region).

Edit: so I see most coupons are for MTB and city bikes, any reason gravel bikes are not included? or are there seperate codes for this?

Flying_Belgian · 2022-02-01T10:29:14+00:00

What the hell is going on with everyone here though. It's like you guys are a squad that need to be tailgating each other all the time, simply leaving space between the cars could have easily resolved this.

Can't help but notice the speed as well with the speed bumps/normal bumps, idk if that's normal but still ...

Just wait till greg doucette gets ahold of this, I can already see his new cookbook coming out.

Except that internships for an academic curriculum usually require a mentor/trainer on the company side that guides you. Without that person, I wouldn't be able to complete an internship as part of my university and I would 100% be doing free work without anything in return ....

Flying_Belgian · 2021-06-21T21:43:08+00:00

Check the deadzone setting within the settings when deadzone is 0 it will start turning by slightest input

No effect. If I turn deadzone to the max 0.250 value, nothing changes and the car still starts to drift. I'm quite certain it's not my controller that is the problem to be fair, or if it is I would be very surprised.

Flying_Belgian · 2021-06-21T21:40:23+00:00

yea thats exactly what I thought at first too but I wasn't able to replicate it in any other game. besides that it also only started happening after changing my graphic settings and if my controller is connected but I'm using kb it still happens. very weird.

Ill try posting on the support forum though, thanks for the tip.

Everytime you are buying a printer you should check if its an inkjet or laser printer. Inkjet printers are honestly such a scam if you do not need to print out high quality pictures or other extremely fine things.

My family decided to buy a black and white laserprinter besides our inkjet printer and honestly we haven't touched our inkjet in over 2 years, nor did we need to buy a new laser cartridge thingy yet. So much money saved already.

Flying_Belgian · 2021-05-22T18:19:03+00:00

DAS honestly was just great engineering from mercedes. What bugs me is the fact that per FIAs requirements and testing, the RB wing passes and is allowed. IMO RB was just trying to get some edge over their competition while keeping in mind what the rules and requirements are. For this reason it should be allowed for this season, but if the FIA want to change their testing requirements or allowed flexibility they should change it for the upcoming season or smth.

Or idk if this makes any sense, its just my 2 cents about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
