The steel chassis is usually a two piece chassis instead of a one piece design. It's the design that's less durable and more prone to bending/breaking. So it's not steel vs. aluminum; it's one piece vs. two piece. Most low end inline skates have a two piece chassis. You have to jump up to mid-range skates to get a more durable one piece chassis. Another option is to buy your chassis of choice (Marsblade R1, Sprung, One Piece Aluminum Hi-Lo ect.) and have it mounted on an ice boot. This gives you more fit options and you can often find good deals on older models of ice boots or just use your old, but good condition ice skates for the conversion and buy new ice skates.

A guy I play with Brent the rsx chassis last season. I doubt he weighs over 165

True fits wider and has more volume like Tacks/Supreme/Mission. So if that’s the kind of boot that fits you, the Trues should fit

Seems to be the answer, makes way more sense than a lake in Kazakhstan

BGP2P sticks have a fused extension. I have personally had to cut one down, so I know this from experience. I can also say that my BGP2P is noticeably lighter than my 1X 3.0 at the same length, even with a larger P10 vs P88 blade. So the Pro Stock ADV is still lighter than a Pro Stock 1X Lite. Edit: I just went and found what I could of the extension I cut off. The pieces I found are about 5.5" long, which account for the 4" extension and an extra 1.5", but there is still some of the tenon from the extension in the stick. Those 5.5" pieces weigh 39 grams. It's also not all of what I cut, I'm still missing about 1/4-1/2". So the extension plus the epoxy used to fuse it in could easily weigh most of that 60 grams.
