Marsblade I2 Holder?
I know they have a pretty aggressive sale going which could mean either really good or bad things for the holder. I tested the previous generation holder and while it felt decent I disliked how heavy and overly stiff the holder was. Overall I was not impressed. Has anyone used the new holder extensively? Good? Bad? Meh?
Botched holder replacement
I decided to give marsblade i2s a try and had them swapped out at a local skate shop. I went from 263 tuuks to 272 i2s, so I knew some holes would have to be drilled. Picked them up this morning, didn't look too closely, but there are clearly issues, primarily the fact that one holder is mounted quite off-center. Upon looking more closely, the holders are pretty beat up, rivets are installed at an angle (one wasn't even set and fell out), copper rivets are in the wrong spots (not sure how

Top cap coming away from rest of boot, is it repairable or am I looking at a new set of skates? TIA

Favorite 4-Roll Gloves?
I'm in the market for a new pair of gloves, and I'm looking for recommendations. I'm a longtime Eagle wearer (currently in an old pair of PPFs), but they've gotten harder to find over the years, and I'd be curious to try something new, What's your favorite 4-roll glove on the market? Open to retail or pro stock.
True Pro 4-Roll
Has anyone tried these? https://www.truetempersports.com/en-us/hockey/true-pro-4-roll-player-gloves.html?srsltid=AfmBOoojx4fJOTn9hMxidvIi2hkmhzs8iSDbxmqj9BTeHwpMtIqTZ426 Particularly tempting on Labor Day sales, but I also think of True gloves as being very tight-fitting, so I'm curious how their 4-rolls fit. Any thoughts appreciated!

Trouble with quad 0 profile
Hey I’m just looking for advice on the quad zero profile. I was using ccm rbz size 8 skates with 272 runners for the last 9 years and I looked and realized that they have a banana blade with a lot of heel shaved off. I needed new skates so got supreme m5 pro skates (size 8.5 272 runners) I decided to get them profiled to a quad zero with a 5/8 hollow and I find that I get good glide and straight line speed and even turning is nice with them but when I start to cross over I feel very s
Adjusting pivot point back to neutral
I've seen several posts regarding adjusting the pivot point on the AS2001 to compensate for pitched profiles if refreshing a profile. What happens if you want to adjust the pivot point back to neutral? Would there not also need to be an adjustment that needs to be made if returning the runner to a neutral pivot point?
Liking Quad 2 but looking for some tweaks
So some of you maybe saw my recent skate fitment journey. Had my new Vapor skates profiled with quad 2, 11/16 roh, just like my previous Ribcors overall I like this profile but I’d like maybe a little more grip/bite/explosion and more agility (had difficulties to initiate quick turns tonight). i don’t mind losing some glide since I find quad 2 has plenty of it. Quad 2 feel light and smooth but id like maybe a tiny more heavy feeling. should I stay with quad 2 and focus more on s
Bauer’s Factory Profile
I read the Bauer’s factory profile is set at what I am assuming is a Quad Zero due to the radio (6ft-9ft-11ft-13ft) out of the box. Pro Sharp lists this as a size 7-8 skate. Does this mean that if one has a junior size 1-2, the Bauer factory profile would be a Quad 3XS (4ft-5ft-7ft-10ft)? I have new Step Steel Blacksteel and want to possibly profile them with a Quad 3XS for my squirt. I’d like him to skate in the profile prior and if the Bauer factory profile matches Pro Sharp’s Quad profiling,

I have worn a bunch of True skates in the past, and these ones have been my favourite so far and by far the best for durability. Very impressed with these once I dialed in the fit.

Bauer Re-Akt 200
I've been wearing this helmet for the past year and have found it to be very comfortable once adjusted.i'm getting older and I wanted something that offered protection. I just happened to be run into by a player on another team who is a good 75lbs larger then me. Needless to say we both went down and I hit the back of my head pretty hard. I basically ended up with a sore neck; never felt anything to the back of my head, never lost consciousness or headache, virtually no signs of concussion. I fe
Bauer Re-Akt 200
Hey, I recognize that this post was 4.5 yrs ago, but I am in the same situation you were in then. Got a ReAkt 200 large online, like the helmet, but am near the bottom of the adjustment range and have the same reservations you did: moves a bit too much and bit too much room on the sides. I'm tempted by your experience to try a medium as my head is a touch more oval than round, but don't want to get on a 'no order' list by getting and sending back yet more stuff (this has been a frustrati
