Hey Guys

I tried to search for this but I couldnt find anything. I have a 2011-2012 Solution 163w and Karakouram Split30s. How much of a gap should you have in ride mode? A little daylight? no daylight? I was riding in some spring slop and it the slush would come right through the crack like pizza dough coming out a rolling machine. Also with the bindings off and the board connected with the K clips and the tip/tail connected there is quite amount on vertical play. Meaning if you hold it verticaly and grab each half and pull one side up the other down it moves bought a half inch. With a lot of folks have issues with there jones and me never riding any other split I thought I would ask.

vertical play without the bindings on doesn't matter. all splitboards do this.

It doesn't quite sound right to me. Pics of the issue might help us determine if you actually have a problem or not.

A small gap in the board is no big deal at all. I have a gap in the tip and tail, small, and sometimes snow can push its way out. Nothing to worry about in my opinion.

I've had thin slivers of mash-potato slush (has to be just the right snow texture--not grainy corn) push up through the seam of every split board I've owned; it happens aft of my back binding where the most force is being exerted down onto the snow. Nothing to fret about.
