  1. 6-32, not 6/32". Small machine screws are sized by gauge and thread pitch- i.e. 10-24, 10-32, 8-24, 8-32, etc. First number is screw diameter, second is thread pitch.
  2. Had my first skate on ice yesterday, after skating only roller for a couple weeks. Definitely felt like my ice skates have a LOT more forward rake. Does anyone have and recommendation offhand of doing heel risers vs. flat for roller? I'm using an EQ50 boot with a Mission hi/lo chassis, and I've been skating roller on a pair of borrowed stock Bauer skates. Will my mission/easton setup have more forward rake than the Bauers do, and if not, is it wise to 18/"-1/4" of heel rise to get my roller and ice setups to feel similar?
  3. Thanks for the help. I guess I'm worried about the skates winding up weird because of misaligned chassis, but I guess a half mil here or there shouldn't affect things too much. Any recommendations from the guys using t-nuts? Need to buy some hardware today. Yeah I got very lucky. Was able to get a pair of EQ50s here for $135. I already had bearings, got a sweet deal on wheels and chassis from a friend thats a pro and gets discounts on revision/mission gear. Should have a complete setup for <$250. EQ50 boots, Mission Magnesium Vanguard Chassis, Revision Variant wheels, Bones Swiss Ceramic bearings. Hoping they will be a solid setup, and the price was right ha ha.
  4. Awesome. I joined this forum specifically because of an ad for a pair of EQ50s, with the intent of putting a pair of Mission Vanguard hi/lo frames on them, almost the same setup that you have. Question for the guys that have done this (sorry if it's been asked and answered in this thread already...) but I'm likely going to do this myself with t-nuts (have had my LHS screw stuff up for me before, don't want that to happen) so the question is, is there a trick or rule of thumb for aligning the chassis to the boot? I want to make sure they are properly aligned and also spaced properly between the toe and heel, if that makes sense.
