  1. Been using some ceramic bearings I got from ebay for about 7 years now. Clean them every so often. No rusting, no pitting and the balls just keep going. Got Bones reds on my other skates. I'm more intrigued to know what people use to clean their bearings?
  2. 2.5-3 seasons on a set of wheels?! You’re doing well! I’ve got a work colleague in Vancouver and have got a deal from the guys at coast to coast so getting him to bring over some wheels. Bargain compared to the UK. Set of grippers and a set of Konixx +2 for around £80 compared to around £140. I’ll take a punt at that price!
  3. Thanks for the advice and replies. It's exactly what I thought. I need a hard wearing 78a or a good 80a wheel.
  4. Ice court surface. They're tiles, not sure what they would be comparable to in the states?
  5. Hi guys, I'm about 300 lbs and been using the yellow grippers for years and years but seeing if there is anything else out there that I can give a go and won't break down? With the different materials and stuff now since the grippers came out I don't know what will last? Cheers
  6. Mission Soldier pants, had them since 2010/11 in plain black........love them! They are still in great condition except for the velcro shin strap. Also got some really old retro/vintage Mission pants that are huge, even for me! White and blue they are but can't remember what they are called, had the huge nylon panel on the front of the knee shin part. I tape mine with clear parcel tape.
  7. How do you find the n7000 skates? Thanks
  8. With the current model, I want to know more about width and how they thermo mould? I want to try but not when I can't try them on....
  9. Thanks for the reply! I'm currently in converted Rbz's so would just get the boot but I'm a EE fit and a big one at that across the forefoot. How do they mould?
  10. I'm intrigued by these and the price to be able to use on online but I have extremely wide feet. What do the fit of these compare to? I'm looking to find out a width comparison. Did message verbero but got nothing back! Cheers
  11. Has anyone ever considered ventilation when it comes to a conversion and whether it makes any difference? I converted some Rbz's and have only just wondered whether it makes any difference and whether anybody has actually modified the boot for ventilation and if I should do it?
  12. Can someone help me with and outsole issue after conversion please? I've converted a pair of RBZ 100's and knew about the sole coming away slightly around the toe so epoxyed the little bits and left them. On one side of one of the toeboxes the sole came away even more, even though I had epoxy in it. To rectify this I filled the hole with as much eposy as I could but there is still that flex when weight is applied to the boot. Has anyone got any advice on how to solve this? Do I need to use a stronger epoxy? Do I need to use the epoxy to bond the sole to the boot rather then fill the hole? Thanks in advance guys!
  13. I would agree with the dremmel of the second wheel. I've converted the 100's with Hi-Lo and have had to do the second wheel on both skates so you will definitely have to with 80's.
  14. This is going to be pretty old subject but I got a pair of rbz 100's recently for the sole purpose I converting using an aluminium hilo chassis and being a pair of skates to last me forever but after reading a couple posts people were writing about the soles being a problem. Can anyone give me any advice please. Thanks
  15. Done another conversion, this was few weeks ago. Thes were purchased from ebay for around £20 having hardly been worn. I'm loving a retro bit of hockey equipment at the moment. Got the chassis off a friend who had them mounted to a pair of nike quests which I had to remove and re-fit. I was worried the chassis was too small but they feel fine. Loving the stiffness of them! May have another pair but no chassis. I was considering doing a conversion with a full 80mm setup even though I've always used Hi-Lo?
