    New holder in use too, nice to see
  2. Stryker
    Plus they'd look way better

    Still no tacks helmet tests? WTF? Is CCM trying to hide the scores because they're bad?

    I love when people come into the store while raving about the VT findings. It just means I can hand them the re-akt 200 helmet and walk away, as they don't care about how it fits. Easiest sale ever!

    If volume is a concern, the Pro Carbons will probably be the best option. They're marketed as a performance version of superfeet (11% better acceleration), while the yellows are more geared to comfort. That being said, if you think that the extra couple mm of depth between the 2 will make a difference (which it sounds like it will) then go with Pro carbons. Heel lock should be the same between the Pro carbons and the regular yellows. The best part is with the 60 day comfort guarantee, if the pro carbons don't feel great after a decent amount of ice times, you can take them back and get a pair of yellows instead.

    It could be because the stock insole doesn't have wings anymore, which always made it tighter up front. Disregard if you had speedplates or superfeet in.

    Except Reebok-CCM has to pay for the cost of the investigation...
  8. Stryker
    Not to mention, people are less likely to report in that their skate is a-ok compared to when there are some issues to mention (minor or not)

    +1 man, this is a nightmare until the goalie stuff is launched lol

    The problem with this is that ESPN didn't run a giant fear mongering documentary with over the top headlines regarding the proper fit of helmets. They simply shouted that hockey helmets are unsafe. And realistically not many hockey parents will be actually reading the VT scientific article...

    We sold 2 Krown helmets today, both to parents who stopped by without their kids, who directly cited this report as the reason for changing helmets. Both times I tried to explain how proper fit works, and how one helmet is not the most protective for everyone. Both times, the parents shrugged off my recommendations and left with their new shiny helmet. This is the major issue with the study, everyone is so quick to term one helmet a champion, and people refuse to listen to the guys working in stores, that have been fitting helmets for many years. At this point, the damage is already done. No matter the methods (flawed or not) of the study, the media has ran with it and people are now in a shock and awe stage. Fucking frustrating that people dont want to listen anymore

    Which insole do you use? Don't forget the normal insoles in APX2 and MX3 have wings on the that take up extra space in the toe cap. This could be taking up more volume at the front compared to the new speed plate. However, someone who has seen or tried both could probably comment with more concrete info.

    Yes, because the "real screws" have never had any issues staying tight or maybe even falling out... Wonder what all the E-pro customers would say about that. I'm assuming you weren't referring to the LS2 holders as well, because those screws wouldn't make a difference when it comes to lateral play.
  14. Stryker
    That's cause its a DUAL LIE!!!1!11!!1!!!! Hahaha seriously though this is a lot of confusion from multiple sources. Maybe some official clarification would help

    I forgot Warrior invented tapered hockey sticks and quick release terminology...
  16. Stryker
    I believe they launch a new stick in the fall
  17. Stryker
    Now I want to know what those standards are haha. They look pretty cool for a vintage/throwback design.

    HDI -- Clamp it on the blade, push the copper (?) piece all the way to one side, turn the face of the dial so that 0 sits at exactly where the needle is, move the slider all the way to the other side, and discover how far off your one edge is from the other, in thousandths (?) of an inch.

    This is the same mechanism that's used on the APX2's, which have been on the market for over a year with no major issues. It will also be featured on the new Nexus skates, when they launch. If it wasn't well constructed and at least as durable as its predecessor, I highly doubt it would be considered a viable option for every single Bauer skate going forward. Same fit as the NXG's, though the new lacing system makes it wrap the foot better (closer), so it could feel like a smaller skate depth wise.

    Slight change of fit on the ribcor with a more rounded heel to match it up with the anatomical fitting supremes, from what I was told. Pump also provides a perfect anatomical lock. Tacks going with a tapered fit like vapors

    I can't help but cringe every time I see a pair of RBZ's come in looking like this. I've started to actually mention it to customers now, mostly to increase awareness.
  22. Stryker
    Pretty sure its going to be 269.99 as well
  23. Stryker
    Not for Edge holders
  24. Stryker
    Personally I've had good luck with drilling drainage holes and then using an eyelet to "finish" the hole off. Maybe see if your LHS could do something like that, just to clean up the look.
  25. Stryker
    Figured I'd mention that we warrantied a pair of Mako's today that had a very similar issue to the picture, but worse. The whole holder could be torqued away from the boot and took the bottom with it. Seemed like a breakdown due to materials, not wear and tear or rust
