haha yup, I'd found both of those pages :)

Looks like the washers are just fine: But, since the tee nuts are supposed to be 6-32 and not 8-32, it's kind of irrelevant since I'll have to return all these anyway. Mcmaster-carr doesn't seem to have bossed weld nuts (non-pronged tee nuts) for 6-32 screws so I'm not sure where to look at this point.

I really don't care for my custom SIDAS. Maybe it was just made poorly.

Thanks! I can't remove the outside wing, as thats what the knee velcro attaches to. I also don't have a top strap... the knee velcro is the only strap I have up there. Keep in mind I have no leather straps on these pads ;) I'll try tightening the knee strap first before anything else. It very well could have been too loose.

Right so... time for an update. Had my fifth pickup session last night. It was actually worse than last week. I was slow, and let a lot of shots in that I really should have had. Just a bad game overall really. A couple things of note: I use my glove, a lot. Too much. At one point while on my knees I fielded a shot along the ice... with my glove. Yea, probably should have used a leg for that one. But like one of the guys said... its whatever you're used to. As a former catcher, it was kind of just programmed to catch everything regardless of where it was. That leads me to my second point. I don't use my legs enough. I know this is just a comfort/technique/flexibility thing but I have a hard time kicking out to stop pucks. I still cant close my five hole which causes me some grief. Mostly in that I end up having to make the first move in order to compensate for not trusting my ability to make five hole saves, which leaves me pretty open for shots elsewhere. Finally, the biggest one. The butterfly itself is fine (besides the inability to get it closed), but if I'm in butterfly and have to open my legs at all (for the purpose of kicking out a save, sliding over to the other post, etc etc etc) I end up slipping off my landing gear. Both knees are pretty badly bruised right now from that, despite the huge knee pads I wear. It actually seems like the knee pads are so big that I don't land with my knee centered on the knee stack, and that's why I slip off. Here's a photo of how big my knee pads are compared to the knee cradle in my pads (sorry for the poor quality, but I had to increase the brightness of the photo after it was taken): I'm considering wearing some volleyball knee pads under those just for some extra padding. Thoughts? My first real game is Sunday. Having to fly home from Winterfest, have a quick nap, and then get out to play my first game in goal. We'll see...

I guess I shouldn't have ordered yet ;)

What size t-nuts and washers? If you're using dimpled, not fanged... are you talking about weld nuts? If so... 90607A100 Screws: http://www.mcmaster.com/#96710a312/=uup9mv Nuts: http://www.mcmaster.com/#90607a100/=uup9f0 Washers: http://www.mcmaster.com/#92141a009/=uupc9e

Yes, have been since about a month before they were released (Thanks Michael9!) Almost exactly the same fit to the Nexon (with some improvements) if you've tried those. In both cases, I typically compare them to a Supreme fitting hand with a Vapor fitting cuff. I came from Warrior Koncept which was a similar shape if you're familiar with those. They're also really stiff brand new, my first game with them I could barely grip my stick. A couple games in and I fell in love.

part # 96710A312 for anyone interested. What T-nuts and washers do you use, Buzz? I <3 McMaster Carr. Bought so much stuff there for my proton pack :)

I'm a 10.5 shoe and wear a 8.5 mako. But again everyone's feet are different.

You'd really need to just try them on.

i'd love to use screws and t-nuts on my goal skates, but really cant justify a huge box of them. If anyone buys a set, let me know :)

Added Eagle pant shell, Bauer warm up pants, Bauer hockey backpack, Stevens Ref pants photos. Also reduced prices on sticks.

cool thanks, I wonder if I can find one online.

Where do you get custom Eagles done?

I was going to get one but I can't use a SR stick

I bought, but its literally just made from white PVC piping. I'm going to replace it with some racking in the garage once I get rid of some stuff. This is the one I got:

Does anyone know: a) What size torx the tendon guard are held on with? b) What size robertson the screws on the holders are?

Brians goalie bag added.

One60 Navy gloves sold ($40+shipping on eBay)

This sucks :(

Never really liked any Jofa stuff either. I tried the Easton Pro elbows and just felt bulky with poor mobility. Just never felt comfortable on me.

I tried them but really didn't like the fit.

Isn't this it? http://www.hockeymonkey.com/rbk-edge-sx100-sock-anaheim.html Or: http://www.amazon.com/Maska-Reebok-Senior-Hockey-Anaheim/dp/B00AM3YOVQ

Could you post a photo of the socks you're looking for? I'm curious which ones they are.
