    Aussie... why dont you just use tnuts? Then you can swap out whenever you want.... let me know, I've got a set of tnuts and screws if you want

    most people dont fil in the previous holes... but you could try silicon or epoxy... epoxy would be more permanent...

    Those MGs would look good on anything... I think Mission created 'the look' when they introduced that chassis. flyweightphantom, you should have said something... I had some hilos a few weeks ago, and sold them off. I do know someone here still using the HE950 skates... skinny guy, by no means would damage the chassis much.

    Thanks for putting everything in perspective... every morning before i leave for work, i lean over to kiss my 5 year old son... sometimes it wakes him up, and he sleepily says 'i love you dad, have a good day at work'.... makes me want to just sleep in.

    Looks good... looks like you mounted them yourself?
  13. fatwabbit
    what did you use for the heel lifts?
  14. fatwabbit
    The S400 and the One90 both look sweet...

    Might be doing these mounts, the boots were just set on the chassis for the pic... not sure yet as I dont have enough time to play so often, let alone spend the time to do the mounts. Might sell them off in the end... which one do you guys think? The MG is an older set, so it might not come out as nice. The alloys are brand new.

    If you are using Tnuts, screw in the ones in front first but not all the way... maybe half way up the screw thread to ensure that you have it anchored... then do the rear... Once all the screws are in, start tightening up the screws little by little... the sole will be malleable enough to mount that vanguard.

    Here's what I got back in the mail today. Thanks to Aussie Joe for setting this up, and thanks to Rhys for mounting the sprungs. Kor Shift 1's mounted on A7 sprungs... I didnt have time to get them baked, so they will have to wait another week before being used. Am currently still on my torspo sprungs A6, with the numerous blocked shots and no issues.

    Its the same here in Australia... tnuts selling in bags of 4 pcs for about $6... McMasters has them for $7 for 100 I think.

    what a way to give a newbie some confidence... real crappy move. Someone should have taken that hotshot out!
  20. fatwabbit
    danny... are those shift 1 or 2?
  21. fatwabbit
    The whole idea of a drop in is to have fun... while going end to end by yourself could be fun to some, its downright boring and pisses the others off. I agree with Aussie_Joe (and his avatar), nothing beats helping a newbie out with a simple pass.

    mostly just don't call for the puck. 70% of the time if you deserve it and are in position to do something with it you'll probably get it. doesnt work with puck hogs though... they wont pass regardless. I understand how they might be a really good player, but in my book the difference between a good and great player is that the great player also makes good passes I play drop in with a couple of guys who are really good... but usually one guy stands out as he tries to make a sweet pass to the open guy, regardless of his skill level.

    Give everyone a chance to get into the flow of the game... playing on 'your' line with your buddies defeats the purpose of the whole session. I've got a buddy that I normally pair up with during league games, but during drop ins we always try to be on the opposing side... gives you a chance to play with others, and appreciate each others' weak points. Communicate with the other players on your team... not tell them what to do but to let each other know where you are on the ice/rink.

    11 skate, Medium chassis. At the end of the day its all about your own personal preference. Nobody can fault you for driving a small car if you feel more comfortable in them (I'm looking at a Smart Fortwo car in the future, even though I'm 6ft tall... only thing stopping me is getting the hockey bag in that sardine can)

    what size are the boots and chassis? It looks like you have a much shorter wheelbase which could explain why you are on your toes.
