    What do you guys think about converting an X:50, the outsole is described as "Full texallium composite" and should be less stiff than the carbon outsole on the X:60 - would it be stiff enough to support an inline frame for a ~80kg (180lbs) advanced level skater?

    Nice.......... APX2 & rivets, and what I assume is a Mission Mag 76-76-80-80 frame?

    I've done a conversion using counter-sunk screws and self-locking nuts once, didn't feel those at all - they are flatter than the T-nut version which you can feel a little bit but stop to notice after a few minutes. I suppose these screws here are hardly noticeable once the insole is in.

    Tbh, for the price even as a European I won't try it without any good reviews out....

    avoided to click this thread for a while due to the title, thought that DIY sharpeners were impossible for "amateurs" - I'm glad I stand corrected now, that is some great work in here! +1

    For the .eu folks: the newsletter for hockeycorner.de just announced an easter-special, -20% off all alkali products (coupon code same as the company name) - 31.03. 00:00 to 02.04. 11:00 :) Might get myself some new gloves.....

    Hmm, I did just do a bit of quick maths (even though my trigonometry is a little bit rusty), and these are my results: At the position I "bottom out" on my LS2 skates my holder (including steel) is approx 60mm tall, width of my skate from the middle is approx 45mm, so I have a triangle: X = blade/centerline of the holder = 60mm Y = middle to outside of the skate = 45mm Z = distance between edge and outside of the skate = Sqrt(X^2+Y^2) = 75mm A = angle between X & Z = arcsin(Y / Z) = 36.9° Same calculation with X' = 63mm (3mm taller holder) Z' = 77.4mm A' = 35.6° So the new 3mm taller holder would make your maximum angle (90° - A) to the ice shallower by 1.3° or a delta of about 3.5% (with A = 100%, A' = 96.5%, dunno if it makes sense to express this value in %). Am I correct in assuming that adding both a heel- and toe-lift of 3mm to my regular LS2 holder would result in more psychological than a physical cornering advantage? Or is my (attempt in) math just plain wrong?

    Hi, could you add a pic of that DIY comfort edge and a few lines how you did it? Thanks

    Great thing about those shoulders, will look into them (prob. not 20k but 18k/16k) for the next season. Thanks for providing the info!

    My first "serious" conversion (previous was a Vapor X3.0 with a Nike Rocker frame....more of a fun skate really): Boot: One95 8EE (used, plenty battle-scars from the ice rink) Frame: Mission Vanguard M (aluminium) Wheels: 80-80-76-76 2x Easton 84A (white), Hyper 84A (orange) - those will change, but shop is out of stock... Hardware: M4 T-Nuts, M4 stainless screws (10mm front, 16mm wheel with heel-lift), spring-lock washers

    Love the XXXX, great skate but hard to find by now - good pickup :)

    I was playing around with the T-nuts yesterday (basically taking off the LS2 holder and remounting it with T-nuts and bolts) and experienced some problems with spinning T-Nuts (thereby cutting the insole a little bit :/) even though I didn't clip the 4 prongs. How do you guys handle spinning T-nuts, and do you clip the prongs (which would cause even more spinning I suppose?)?
  13. gosinger
    Graf-screws are just a different kind of T-Nuts & bolts with a similar look. Any reason for not using the 4th hole in the heel?
  14. gosinger
    Great looking build - T-Nuts or Graf screws?

    Just ordered my alu Vanguards, now to decide if I'll convert a Vapor 7.0 or a One95, both fit reasonably well....will post here once completed :)

    Hehe...everyone <2m has been given those Junior suspenders by the local shops as-well, since all the adult once had the buckles somewhere near the shoulder pads. Good tip!
  19. gosinger
    Well.....if you were to wear those now you'd be amazed on how much lighter they've become now.... j/k, sorry about your gear man.
