Labeda Slime

Can confirm the Pure X are amazing.

Took a day or so to break in but I’ve been punishing them and they just keep gripping.

Better stopping power to in my opinion.

If durability is an issue for slime, I highly recommend the pure x

[Konixx Pure wheels discontinued]

First impressions on warm up they’re good but noticeably different, not bad different at all just different.

Putting them through their paces they came on pretty quick.

Will reserve judgement as the pure’s took a day or so to break in before coming on.

Labeda confirmed to me via email inquiry that these wheels are available in just the one hardness.

I’m keen to learn more, I bought the konixx instead as they were less of a gamble.

Got my Pure X today, can’t wait for the weekend to use them.

Inline Warehouse are getting better with shipping, ordered Friday night and in my hands in Australia Tuesday arvo.

Pures are fantastic but they have a slight flaw and the blue wheel addresses that.

Where I’m from in Australia is extremely humid and humidity turns them brown and reduced their life span and compromises the core.

With that said they’re still by far the best performing wheel I’ve used in years.

I can’t wait to get the Pure X just for the increased grip and speed, if they last longer even better!

Best bearings i've ever used and it seems everybody has caught on. The price on Super 6 has really gone over up the last few years.  It's a shame, I need new bearings now but I can't dish out $100+ anymore.  I'm considering dropping back down to super reds, but I've been so spoiled with super 6. 

Yeah they’re the minimiser idea done properly.

So we are 100% sure next year?  I am in need right now.

I think it could be late this year.

[New Bauer 2XRs?]

I hope the quality is an improvement over the current 1X.

Mine we’re fairly disappointing compared to how bulletproof the 2016s were.

I like the Swiss LE’s that came with my skates.

I also use boned super Swiss 6

regular maintenance is everything.

I like Bones super Swiss 6

I as well just received mine yesterday and skated last night on them. 

 

Pros:

Fit was great. Nice and light. 

Great aesthetic.

Been waiting since AC1's for a design like this so over all love the skates. 

 

Cons:

Shell didn't feel as stiff ad my vapors.

Footbed slide. Had to add a small piece of reverse tape under the footbed to lock it in place. 

Labeda wheels. While the color is nice. Multiple wheels had air bubbles, core to exterior wheel pours offset by 1/8 inch. Poor product QA on a premium product like this. I ended up puting my Bones Swiss bearings and Konix Pures back on. 

Yeah I was checking a pair out and found the same thing, stiffness wasn’t there compared to the 1Xr.

My current 1Xr’s are only 6 months old but I’m likely going to upgrade to the 2Xr later this year(google 2X)

I have a pair of size 11 wicked light 1s(remake version).

Near new, bought them off a friend 12 years ago after he barely used them but they were too big so I never used them either.

[Wheel options/questions]

I’ve found the Konixx last a lot longer as well.

 

[Wheel options/questions]

Konixx is where it’s at man.

[New mission skates]

Ahh yep I went back and had another look.

Rookie error on my part, admittedly only had a quick glance.

[New mission skates]

They’ve released more images on their Instagram story.

It looks like this will be a similar upgrade as DS was to AC i.e similar boot with different colours and a different tonight.

although the tongue on the new one looks unchanged 

[New mission skates]

Legend!

[New mission skates]

I hope the new Bauer’s aren’t pushed back.

[Wheels for 300lbs player]

Yeah I’m tall, heavy and on the Konixx band wagon as well.

All the top wheels were killing my performance, gave pure +2 a try and it’s been a game changer.

Rumour has it that rink rat is close to dropping a World Cup replacement.

Anyone have any updates?

I remember getting my hands on the catalogue in April 2016 for the NLS range.

surely there has to be some info floating around?
