    I don’t care about the cosmetic issues with my skates. I just don’t. Having something that doesn’t hurt my feet far outweighs anything that could be cosmetically wrong with them. That said, I completely understand why people are bothered by it. It shouldn’t happen. I always joke that “first world problems are the worst problems because they’re always things that shouldn’t be problems in the first place”. I think the QC issues True continues to have kind of falls into that category. You may say it’s being nitpicky about things that don’t really matter. But at the same time they shouldn’t need to nitpick things that are easily fixable if they’d just put an ounce of time and effort into their QC process. I will say though, I saw a bit of irony as I was picking excess glue off my wife’s new Bauer skates...

    I think he meant people aren’t complaining anywhere but here, so shops don’t know about issues.

    When I go through a ring or the filter light comes on, whichever comes first.

    Whichever fits you and you find most comfortable.

    I think Beckett and PSA both will do autograph verification but don’t quote me on that.

    Less safe is more better!

    Thanks guys

    Here's some more photos of my issues. I think I'm going to reach out to them. Do you guys know if you can still email Rob directly? It's obviously been a while. At this point if I just keep doing what I've been doing for 4+ years (using a shoe horn) I'm not super worried about it. I'm due for a new pair of skates in the next year or so anyway. But still worth talking to them. On another note, it's funny that the white accent glue is failing. They look like they're stitched on but clearly not. And one more thing... anyone know what this copper colored stuff is that is exposed when the "leather" is worn away?

    1-2 passes before every skate. Consistency is more important than anything. I want them to feel exactly the same every time.

    It’s amazing how quickly things degrade.

    Don’t forget the worst of them all, SENS

    I do not understand why somebody would do that.

    I’ll move it when I’m back on my laptop. Though I’m not sure what’s being pointed out.

    Here's where I posted the original rip. I wonder if they'd be able to fix them still...

    So if anyone remembers this far back, when I first got my VH I ripped the Achilles area putting my foot in. Since then, I’ve used a shoe horn to put them on every time I’ve skated with no issue. Well, today I was public skating with my wife and I wasn’t about to bring my 3’ shoe horn. I put my foot in and... rip. So now both of them are damaged. Now, these skates are now 5 years old and while I’m probably due for an update anyway, I want to make these last a bit longer if possible. Of course, going forward I’m going to make sure I use that shoe horn no matter what and have already ordered a small one on amazon to stick in my backpack for public skating. Can anyone recommend an adhesive that would work here? It’s down to the foam itself so I’m not sure if any glue is going to work very well. With where that bit is, you could probably put a couple stitches through it to hold it but I don’t have my industrial sewing machine (yet) to be able to even consider doing it myself.

    New wheels for the wife!
  17. IPv6Freely
    Shrug. Okay.
  18. IPv6Freely
    Wouldn’t it be annoying that the width of your skate blade narrows in width with every sharpening? I don’t get the point.

    LOL sounds about right. In other related news, we had our first playoff game last night. Their team was permitted a sub because they “might be short”, despite him having never played a game with them before. They ended up with 9, which was exactly one more than we had. The whole thing seemed... wrong. IMO that shouldn’t happen. If you have 5 skaters then you play with 5 and it’s on you to try to get your players to show up. If you have less than 5 then sure you can have a sub, but it’s a forfeit. Getting approved to have a sub when you already have 8 guys is a bit silly. Ended up not mattering though. We won 3-2 with the winning goal coming with 44 seconds left. Our first playoff win in a number of seasons. We were the 5 seed playing the 4 seed (6 teams, 1 and 2 get byes, 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5). At least the overall parity in the league is better this season. The top 3 teams were all tied in points. We were nowhere close to that but at least one team isn’t just crushing everyone.

    Its life’s way of distracting you from the rest of the suck. Maybe? Well, I tried 😞

    We really need to add a player to our team who immediately becomes the top player in the league. That seems to be what every team does every season except us. We’re the idiots that keep bringing people up from rookie league instead.

    I don’t understand the question. Why would the crossgrind wheel not work?
  24. IPv6Freely
    I think it was Howie’s that posted 1/2” tape as an April fools joke at one point. Honestly I think it’s something that would actually sell.

    If nothing else works, just paint it black 😉
