@Marsblade You guys getting ready to launch new products? I am guessing these bottom parts reduce weight? https://www.instagram.com/p/CIyHeK4gBkB/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

All good - though for S/M sizes maybe an extra millimeter might be good in the future, so long as it will not have any negative effects on the wheelbase overall. And, just to be clear, I am not meaning any of this in a negative way; the product is great and I am very happy with the performance.

Good to know they are in spec. Just to be clear; the wheels are not touching, but they were very close. I am not used to seeing them that close together, which is why I asked. Thank you for sharing the specifications!

Hi @Marsblade See pics. Rear and front. On both chassis, these are consistent.

Perfect! Let me check against mine.

Did you mean to put text in your reply? I do not see anything.

Hello @Marsblade & @PetterErlandsson I've just measured using digital calipers. First, all 4 of my Labeda Millennium wheels measure from 75.5 to 75.8 millimeters. As for the gap, the left chassis is .18 millimeters and the other is .16 millimeters. Hope this helps determine tolerance.

These are millenniums and I've got addictions in the rear. Oddly, I've got a 'normal' amount of gamp between the back wheels Yep, these are mediums. My two buddies have large frames, and I checked mine against theirs tonight at a skate. The larges are definitely not as tight; I agree. @Marsblade Have you seen this issue at all with any other customers? Are mine within normal tolerance?

Hey - can anyone else confirm that the front two wheels on their R1 chassis are SUPER close together and set tight? I've tried two different manufacturers (konixx and labeda) and both of these, the front two wheels are SUPER close together - like I can barely get a sheet of paper in there. I was skating late night and ate shit twice out of nowhere because I think some debris got in there and jammed me up. https://ibb.co/DMjygR5 https://ibb.co/34bfcp7

Ha, actually you're right. I think that this is just image distortion. I looked closer and saw that these still had a hi lo chassis whereas the rumor was new lineup would have revision.

Is it just me or do I spy the new mission skates?

i measured as well - half an inch. ironically, my stick broke last week so my new one was cut half an inch higher to compensate.

How much are league fees in Toronto for inline? We pay ~$1200 USD for a 10 game season per team. ($1583 CAD)

I almost exclusively play inline these days, mostly for the things noted above; cost and because it's generally a more relaxed atmosphere. I wouldn't mind picking up ice again, but I'm not about that 'games at 11:45PM on a Tuesday' life. Between that and 5:45A games on Saturdays, I felt like beer league got shit time slots, which is just how she goes. At least with inline I can get Sunday afternoon games and 6:30-9 start times on week days.

So i just played my first two games with the chassis, and definitely spoke too soon about feel. When I was just putzing around at the outdoor rink or going for a rip in the neighborhood, I was obviously skating pretty lazily. With in game situations where you're making quick pivots and cutting hard, I felt like these really shine. Not going to lie, I definitely fell a couple of times trying to test the limits of what I could do. So far, my observations are that you definitely are maximizing contact of the wheels on the floor. I think in one of the promo videos John Schiavo said he could feel the floor pushing away from the wheels, which is true - which leads to the next point - stopping is maximized and much more instantaneous. This could also be my mechanics being adjusted as more wheel is compressed against the surface. Otherwise, I felt like transitions were smoother as well. I play D, so I am constantly doing forward to backward transitions trying to close the gap, and I felt like I could shift my weight a little more naturally. Overall, my first impression after 2 games of hard skating are extremely positive. I'm glad I got them and waited so long for the pre-sale period - they are worth it.

Looking good. My buddy has LITERALLY the same exact boot with his marsblades and loves it.

Ah, I should have looked at this thread as well for opinions. Glad to see I’m not alone in having an easy transition with not as dramatic results as I thought I would see. Good point in noting that the bushing or chassis may break in and allow for more travel. I would be curious, as well, to see if a newer insert with more travel could be made. Would it make sense to have an H5 T5 ?

I wonder if Tour is doing some market research to see how well the Volt lineup is doing versus Code. If there’s overwhelming support and demand for them, I wouldn’t be surprised if they migrate to 80-80-76-76 permanently. I, too, feel that their skates are due for a refresh. I think the current Code series are from 2018. I’d also be curious to see what direction they head in.

Just had mine mounted and went for a skate at my outdoor rink. Was I supposed to do anything with the inserts before they were mounted to the skates? Was the shop supposed to do anything specific? coming from hi lo, I was expecting to feel like a drunk baby giraffe my first time out and I’m not feeling a dramatic change. Just want to rule out user error. I’m on the “most ice like feel” Insert that they shipped with too.

I sent a note off to True asking some questions about fit. They responded that yes, these MUST be baked/heat treated prior to use to ensure proper fit. Also, their sizing convention is that of Bauer's, if anyone is curious (1.5 sizes down from brannock shoe size.)

Just had these done at Pure. I had some Mission NLS2 that were unfortunately, too wide. Bummed at the prospect of buying a new set of skates, my buddy told me to just troll around sideline swap for a pair of donor boots. These 1S in my size came up for a super cheap price - $135. I had Pure take off my Bauer/Mission chassis and put them on the 1S and I'm now loving it.

Oh nice - I was not aware of this. Is there any special process for baking true skates? I'm only concerned that the forefoot was as loose as it was. But, if there is some 'saran wrap' method that they use on the forefoot of the boot to wrap it around, maybe I was missing out on that.

They did not. Are you allowed to bake skates you're haven't purchased? I've never tried.

Hey guys - just got back from my local Pure hockey, who had the TF9 in stock. I tried them on and really like them, but don't know what to make of the fit. For reference, Bauer scanner puts me in Fit 1 - so my foot is pretty unremarkable and made for a Vapor. Tried the TF9 on and noticed straight away that there was much more room in the forefoot than a Supertacks or even Supreme/Vapor Fit 1. Not sure if True has come out and said what type of fit or last it's built off of. Also, not entirely sure that's how the final fit was supposed to feel, as this was pre baking. They are super, super light and I really like the skate otherwise. The bang for the buck @ $599 is great.
