Has anyone seen the Ride Engine Foil Track Cassette.  Looks like a great retro fit option.

Looks good, but I like this one. Cant remember where I heard about them...

These come from the U.K. faster than you can believe.

Yes, the RE inserts are nice.  They use 8" Chinook boxes while Charlie (Grey Paddleboards) is using 10.75" Futures boxes (Correct me if I'm wrong, Charlie) which allows more flexibility to adjust mast position.

The Ride ones are almost 2x what I paid for my UK cassettes. sayin....
I installed one and it was super easy and bomber construction.

Thanks Charlie!

the futers boxes come in 10.75" and 8" the Chinook are 9.75" and 7.25" (this is the length or the actual track)

sorry I cant seam to post pics direct of my phone or I would.

The Chinook boxes are a one peace construction, thicker walled but heavier, less adjustment and nearly twice the price of futures

Futures are also once peace construction, lighter,larger bonding area, and cheaper

The Ride Engine boxes to not look the same as Genuine Chinook so im not sure what they use.

I have been using futures LB boxes for a long time now and never had one fail on a normal board or on my foil board under normal use so my personal preference, there is no reason why you could not use Chinook boxes though if you don't mind paying the extra (about $30 I think)
