RCM Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have a Horton carbon fin and thought about trying it on my 2A66 Razor, Has anyone played with the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted June 5, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 5, 2012 Took the Carbon Fin off my Sans Rival and put it on an S2, with front Mini-Ventral, and it works great. Should work on any ski !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 5, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2012 @RCM I would not think it would fit in the slot. you do not want to sand the ski or the fin....

RCM Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Is there a carbon fin that will fit in the Razor fin box? Or is there a fin box that will work on the Razor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCM Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I just measured my Razor fin, its .075 thick and my Horton fin is .100 thick, I would hate to Mill or sand the Carbon fin knowing it will affect the performance of the fin. Ed, Can you measure the thickness on your Sans Rival fin? My goal here is to make the Razor a little more forgiving in the turns, I always used a Horton fin on my Goode 9700 until the ski broke.

Baller Ed_Johnson Posted June 5, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 5, 2012 Off the top of my head I believe the Sans Carbon was .072, will check when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted June 5, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted June 5, 2012 RCM, how does the Razor compare to the 9700? Which one do you have your PB on? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 5, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2012 SR fin is a lot thinner than what I made. Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCM Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 They both ski very much the same, but I do think the 9700 is just a little faster. PB is on the 9700 by 1/2 buoy. How can I get a Sans Carbon fin? any dealers in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted June 5, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 5, 2012 I had a Carbon Fin on my Yellow Fischer (same fin block as Razor). I had the fin block milled .012" and sanded the slot until the fin slipped in. I kept the milled fin block when I sold my Yellow Fischer and moved it to my new Orange Fischer, but I have not tried the Carbon Fin in this ski.

Baller eleeski Posted June 5, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 5, 2012 @Ryno 2.08mm = .082" according to the online conversion. Horton doesn't like us to go political here so I will resist the urge to chastise us backward Americans for continuing to use a confusing, hard to work with, putting our kids at a world disadvantage, obsolete and non standard measurement system. I guess I shouldn't go off on QWERTY keyboards either... Carbonfins rock! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted June 5, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 5, 2012 @eleski Way to resist there! :) Of course, it has passed ludicrous at this point. Exceptionalism is not so much the way to go in science... (Let's hope neither of us get banned!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Ed_Johnson Posted June 5, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 5, 2012 @RCM: Suggest the numbers that Sans has on their Web-Site. Worked well for me and a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCM Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Installed the new Sans, Carbon fin and foil, the ski is more responsive and faster across the wakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
