Top for Ultra Lite
Posted by: Roger Rierson (---.triad.res.rr.com)

In process of gathering everything to build a ultra lite(6 1/2 ft). I want to try my hand at using #4 micro's for the running guides. I have minima 4 and 6's guides now. I have the xp4xt #6 top. My understanding is #6 is the smallest top that matches with the minima guides. If i use the #4's will the #6 top be to big or is there a smaller top that matches well with the mimina guides? Also does fuji MCAT tops have the black ring?

Thanks,
Roger

As far as the Fuji question goes ... YES.

The size 6 is currently the smallest Minima style tip ring. I asked Pac Bay about this and was told that in 1-2 months we will see Minima tips down to a size 4 ring.
