ATLstealth09 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 Red Star chassis are all the rage now. A week ago, I couldn't even find e-frames, let alone an alloy in size Medium.Searching for these things was a pain in the ass, but a few days ago, I came across some e-frames. My friend needed them to mount on some Bauer 6000s, so I got him one, and two for myself. This may have been a bad idea, but I just couldn't stand thinking about having to find them again.There is no specific discussion in this topic, but I wanted to make a place to post anything and everything about chassis. You can vent here, too, if you like.--------------------------------------------------------------------------This chassis epidemic all started with Mission patenting the Hi-Lo and Red Star losing their greatest innovation.The Alloy was an amazing chassis, and was created a while before Mission ever used Magnesium Alloy.--------------------------------------------------------------------------First time I saw it, I thought it was a piece of junk because it was so light.After a few years, I found that they were actually an exotic item that only the best players had.I had no need for one, but now everyone wants one. I had the opportunity to get them on hockeymonkey for 90 dollars, but passed it up because I didn't know my size.They did have them in Medium, and now this is one of my greatest regrets.--------------------------------------------------------------------------Anyway, post away. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATLstealth09 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 Yep, those are one of my current two pairs. :D They're actually considerably heavier than most retail skates, due to the Hum'er chassis. However. they are the fastest skates I have because of the big wheel setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick67 1 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Bought 4 pairs of Alloys of hockeymonkey (2 size medium 2 size Large) on the same $90 deal.Greatest chassis ever :) Sold of 3 of the pairs to some team mates (they ordered through me) and currently have a size Large Alloy chassis on my Rbk 8k Pumps. Though I'd rather have the Mission 10000 Mg chassis. Since it can't strip, which is a bit of a concern of mine (regarding the alloys). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockeypunk3 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 yeah, after posting i realized that.But couldnt you raise the holes up 4mm to even it out?the advantage of the bigger front wheel could be taken advantage of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thockey17 1 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 the two 76 wheels wouldnt touch the ground Actually they would. You're skates are pretty much never completely verticle like they would be while walking/running.You will probably see some sort of combination with 76/80 mm wheels offset to stay flat in the near future due to Missions patent on the hi-lo.

ATLstealth09 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 I looked up Mission's patent in the US Patent Office, and it seems that no one can make a chassis with wheels on two horizontal planes, meaning that there must be either one size of wheels or three, as in Labeda's Hum'er, CCM/RBK's Tri-Di, and Bauer's "One-Up" which is a complete load of bull. (In a good sense). The "One-Up" is just a Hi-Lo chassis; they sell it with different sized wheels to avoid the patent. Great idea. Should include and extra 80mm wheel. :P The 80-76-76-80 idea sounds pretty good. I just noticed, but it looks awefully like a Tri-Di, minus the front wheel.

hockeypunk3 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 well i figured that the bigger wheel up front and the two smaller and maybe a harder wheel in the middle would contribute to more speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry54 243 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 I once tried 76-72-72-76 on a small Sure-Grip frame. The frame was made for four 76mm wheels with the option of rockering the front and rear wheels by 2mm. So by rockering both 76mm wheels and putting two 72mm wheels in the middle, I ended up with all wheels touching the ground together. That way, the center of gravity was slightly lower than four 76mm wheels and the wheelbase was slightly shorter since rockering the wheels on that frame also moved them closer to the middle. Who knows, maybe with a medium or larger Sure-Grip frame and a little dremelling, you could manage to get a 80-76-76-80 setup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
