  1. I've personally seen two different compatibility issues with the SpeedPlates, one on my 50K's and another on a friend's JetSpeeds. There's a little ripple/wrinkle thing that forms near the center of the SpeedPlate. My guess is the concave shape of the midsole in another brand's skates affects the SpeedPlate's ability to properly mold.

  2. Couldn't be happier with the fit after heat molding these Max+'s. The skate on the right is unbaked, the skate on the left is baked (mine). The eyelets really laid over like the top of the quarter package does in the pic. Reminds me of baking the Makos. Can't wait to give these a spin in my game tomorrow, even though I've been skating around in them around the warehouse a bit haha.

  3. Probably because I was in the right place at the right time to get him one of our frames. But at that size skate, there is a serious advantage of going all 80s. Since the 2nd wheel is recessed into the boot, you still get a lot of the mobility of having smaller wheels in the front, while having a much larger contact patch which allows for faster speed while working less.

    How do you mean the wheel recesses into the boot? Was there some custom work done to the outsole or does it just fit that way naturally with the heel lift?

    It definitely looks like a good, close fit. I've never converted a pair myself, just curious!


  4. Brought home a Beer League 'Chip Thursday, took my dad to a concert Friday and then we went to the Kings/Preds game Saturday.

    Couldn't have asked for a better weekend that encompassed spending time with family, playing hockey, watching hockey and seeing a great band live. Well, maybe a King's W would have been nice too but this isn't the Venting thread haha.
