    Talking Full Tilt #12 tongue

    Who’s been on it? Does this change the boot?!

    1) doesn't exist to public. I have not seen one ever (20+ years of raichle, knissle, and FT)

    2) change: will make it stiffer. Boosters, and a 10 flex not enought for you?

    I heard the tongues are additive. You can get the same effect by taping two #6 tongues together.

    This might be a good addition for warm spring days when the 10 tongue starts to feel mushy.

    Full Tilt #12 tongue

    Any engineers out there (1000 oaks?) able to show us some sort of Mod to attach the 12 full tilt tongues to a dalbello cabrio boot? (Lupo TI for example).

    Mine are starting to soften and I don't think dalbello "A" tongues are for sale to the public.

    Failing that, I might try the ascendant boot stock with 12 tongues as an option, but I don't have a wide foot and last I checked, it comes with a 102mm last.

    Recently donated a pair of old flexons to a friend for parts. I had the orange tongue. Actually found them in a ski shop back room locally in SLC only a few years back. Think they charged me $20 cause the SKU wasn't in the system anymore lol.

    Jeez, if they called it an 11 instead, they would have had a lot of fun marketing it.

    memba back in the day when you'd see somebody in the liftline with that worldcup stiff-ass all-green or all-yellow raichle tongue standing on derbyflexes and greensprings and you just knew they were a heavy hitter?

    I memba!

    Well yeah, I've looked there before but don't see a way to actually order them. Am I missing something?

    There are plenty of online retailers who sell FT parts, which is what I hoping would be the case here and what I was asking about in my first post. Obviously if I wanted to go the local shop route I could do that.

    Skied mine for the first time tonight. It's like the old Raichle full green or full yellow race stock tongues. Fuck yes it changes the boot, it's a race boot with this flex.

    On the hunt for a pair of 12 flex tongues. Since FT went under K2 branding their parts stock is hard to find. Anybody have a pair that are unused that they would sell off?

    what size boot? I may have, although I haven't looked since K2 killed Full Tilt we had all the flexes at one point
    what's orange and looks good on hippies?

    28.5 boot - I think that is a size large tongue.

    I don’t think those will work, I assume they are sized for a reason, right?
