I don't get the issues people have with the aesthetic. They're literally all black skates with a silver accent. Pretty non-offensive from my perspective.

MEH... Builds character. I will never understand being afraid of being chirped... I thought we were tough???

Sorry, I didn't see this reply until just now. The grinding ring head (Trolley) runs on a fixed path, yes. If we say the grinding ring moves back and forth on the X-axis to sharpen the skate blade, the grinding ring itself is adjustable in the Y-axis by turning a knob, which has incremental "clicks." A separate height adjustment lever also allows Z-axis adjustment, so you can set the max height of the grinding ring. The grinding ring can then move downward from this setting with a consistent torsional spring pressure pushing the ring back up toward this max height setting. This puts consistent pressure on the grinding surface, taking off consistent amount of material along the entire blade's profile. 2 to 3 clicks of Y-axis adjustment is advertised to change edge height by approximately .001" when using a 1/2" radius ring. So in other words, they're telling us if your edges are off by .001", 2-3 clicks toward the taller edge should set them perfectly even. I work with Autocad and a quick sketch shows me that in order to get .001" height difference bewteen the edges on a 1/8" wide blade, the 1/2" grinding ring would need be approximately .004" off-center, in the Y-axis. So .004/2.5 clicks = .0016"; let's call it .0015" per click in the Y-axis. I also calculate approximately .0004" of edge height (Z-axis) adjustment per click (.001/2.5 clicks=.0004 per click).

If you can't rely on someone sharpening your skates at a consistently high level then it doesn't matter if the pitch is built into the boot or done with profiling/lifts. A butchered pitch of the blade by a sharpener will negate whatever original setup you had.

If true never got your order or scans what it's there for them to look into? I guess they could contacted the dealer if you provided them with their info but I'm it seems to me that the dealer was the one lacking the follow-up

I have the Tuuks on mine and never noticed a forward pitch. They feel neutral.

If you're going to put on tuuks it will feel pretty neutral. The stock step holders def have a more forward pitch.

Howdy, Older guys that get in fights in lower level beer league hockey. For fuck's sake, you're >40. Outside of another guy taking a two handed swing to your melon, nobody cares what he did and you're just being an ass. Mark

I always try to drink at least one beer in the locker room while getting dressed. Sometimes 2, if the game before is going long.

I wanna thank @JR Boucicaut and Pure Hockey for helping me get these done.
