I personally don't like mixing durometres but at a guess I reckon you'd feel more comfortable with the softer wheels in the middle. When I've mixed durometres in the past I've found it awkward if I've had softs front and hard rear or vice versa. But again that's just a guess, experimenting with different set ups is half the fun! :)

I'm the same man, anything less than 84A feels like riding a mountain bike with rear suspension(so much energy loss). I really like the rink rats but I've been meaning to try the harder grip plus addictions, I didn't mind the regular addictions that cake with my skates.

You'll have to see at your LHS if they're interested in doing a swap.

I had that briefly with my right foot as well in the beginning but they callus up pretty quickly. A lot of the young guys at my local rink have issues as well with doing up their axles to tight and jamming them. I do mine up until I just get to that point of resistance, not to loose so it clicks and not to tight so it jams. I'm glad Alkali still use the good axles not the horrible reversed ones that Mission/Bauer use now. Hope all goes well with your new skates!

Recently got my Alkali zip up hoody, got to say quality is amazing and it looks pretty sick, warm too coming into winter. Same goes for an Alkali shirt I bought a couple months back as well. Nothing but quality!

Just saw it, love the detail and the big logo!

I'm a size 10 in normal shoes, my Alkalis are 8.5 but my recently purchased Bauer supreme 150 ice skates are size 9. ^^^ For comfort that is, but I did fit the 8.5 Bauer.

My "Super Roo" CA9 RPD's. I went with Alkali because I believed they were the best, I'm about to upgrade again with Alkali because I now know they're the best. "Super Roo" is the kangaroo logo that I have on each chassis. The story behind the Super Roo logo here in Australia is that it was found on our most famous muscle car the Falcon GT-HO Phase 3. Fastest 4 door sedan in the world at the time. I'm always looking for that motivation to go faster and make my skates stand out which makes it the perfect fit! I added the yellow laces because it also makes them stand out that much more as well.

The mag chassis is a great addition to these skates, makes a huge difference. If you have a look at something similar like the CCM Tacks on a straight chassis they managed to cut around 100g per boot from the package. But then at the same time the price of the CCM skates is almost at the thousand mark. its alright to want these features but are people willing to pay extra for them? That's the question.
-
Yeah it really is a game changer for the roller market in my opinion. No D/EE to worry about while getting the perfect fit. It's having your cake & eating it too! The only other thing I'd really like from future Alkalis is a bit more weight cut out. To be fair every new model has been lighter than the last but even the Tacks now with hum'ers are around the same weight as AC1s.
-
When I bought mine I had the same problem but I ended up measuring the length of my feet and using the the size guide on inline warehouse, was very accurate.
-
All 84A for me,at almost 90kg everything else feels like I'm bogging down and breaks.
-
Here's a cheaper alternative to a full ice conversion. I'm thinking of getting a set myself. http://www.inlineiceblades.com/photo--video-gallery.html?m

It's the greater stiffness of the Max skates over the teams. just means a slightly longer break in period if you're doing it without a bake. But once they're all nice & broken in you'll really appreciate the extra stiffness of the better boot! :)
-
Recently convinced a staunch quad only skater to give Alkali a go, so she picked up some brand new Comp + skates. In her words " these are amazing and I'm in love with them!". Got to try them briefly myself and I can say that chassis is the real deal! Just goes to show just how great these products are!

Yeah tell me about it, it's either mission or Bauer and you decide which arm or leg. I pretty much get everything from IW and ebay now.

As I've mentioned earlier mine are 26.5cm and I'm in size 8.5 Alkalis. My toes are just off touching the toe cap, it's the perfect fit for me. I guess that just shows why trying things on is a good idea, we've all got different feet.
-
It's like lowering the suspension on a car, it handles much better and is more responsive. The taller chassis on the ca9 isn't bad at all, but the movement version is better.
-
I'd go the shift, movement chassis is a game changer.
-
My feet are 26.5cm and I'm in an 8.5 ca9 RPD with a fairly snug fit. I don't think I'd fit an 8.
-
Yeah I've been checking here and IW like crazy but no info. Aren't theu supposed to be on sale in 2 days?

I'm getting a set of Max+ shipped as soon as they're available in October. What's the go with the weight Justin, will these be lighter than ca9 rpd & current max?
-
Mine are the same. Normally i'll wrench them as tight as I can & then after I get warm & get some heat into the boots i'll have a bit of give in the laces. So I'll go through and re-wrench the laces as tight as I can again & get the rest of the give out of them, that's when I get the best performance out of them.
-
I got my CA9 RPD's from you guys last July, as soon as you get these in i'm ordering.
