Mix Matching Tapered Shaft Blades?

[nicksmission14 0]

Sorry for all the questions today guys but if I don't ask I'll never find out :D

Let's say I take a TPS Redlite XN10 which takes a Tapered R2 Blade and instead of using the R2 I want to put a Synergy II blade in it... Will it work?

Then my next question is are there any tapered shafts that HAVE to use the matching tapered blade?

How in the hell did you get a tapered R2 blade to fit correctly into a RLxn10? Redlites only take standard blades..

I'll be damned.

My RLnx10 only takes standard and I have never heard of a redlite that was tapered. I thought the only tapered shafts from TPS were the Response and the R2's.

The tapered stick is the R2 XN 10...make sure that is the one you have.

Thanks!

Anyone know what the weight of the R2 Armor Shaft is by chance?

CS2 is the old school redlight, not even the XN10 version. That's the CS11 (I think)

I'm actually looking for R2 XN10's as well.

JR, would you have this in your shop?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

I know someone on here weighed it, odp perhaps?

EDIT: No, Andoy had it. Did some searching and he said it was lighter than the regular R2 but heavier than the XN10... So, the R2 was 300 Grams, and the R2XN10 was 265, so I'd guess it's around 285 grams.

Nope, wasn't me. But my R2 weighs in at 301g and my R2 XN10 weighs 290g. Both 52" and uncut.

Hmmm, Ok..... I'm so undecided about what Tapered shaft I want

By the way, this board is awesome!

If you wait til spring you can get a Vapor XXX Lite tapered shaft. I'm thinking I'll get one of those to compliment my Vapor XXX Lite OPS..

Just to confirm..I have a synergy..cut it at the fuse point..got all the junk out..trying to get a RBK 6K blade in there..but won't fit..do I have to cut more of the shaft until it'd wider?
