@JSchultz Ok! Great to hear! Let us know if you have further thoughts/questions. //Per

@JSchultz Ah ok, so all good then? We're looking at widening the gap slightly in future productions. //Per

@JSchultz Sorry, the first picture I sent was the Large chassis, Here's the Medium chassis according to drawings. So they seem to be correct. Can you try measuring the wheels again. It seems very strange that they would touch if your 76mm wheels are actually smaller. I'd be happy to get on a call if you want to discuss how to proceed. Feel free to call me at +4670 328 88 35. Or e-mail me at per@marsblade.com and I'll give you a call. //Per

@JSchultz having some issues with posting the picture... 🙂 Sorry I was a bit unclear in the last post. If you can measure the distance between the 1st and 2nd wheel and also the distance between the 3rd and 4th wheel that would be awesome. They should measure 71.6mm and 75.6mm. //Per

Hi @JSchultz , we have seen some, although very few with this issue. In all cases there's been wheels with bigger diameter than stated on the wheels (80 or 76mm). We have not seen any issues with our own Revision wheel or other brand wheels we have measured. Is it possible to put enough time on them so that the wheels will wear down enough and spin properly or is it impossible to skate? If you have a caliper available and you're able to measure the width between the wheels it would help us clear out if your specific chassis is outside tolerance. I've forwarded this issue to our engineering team. Best regards Per Mars, Inventor

@greasy17 Makes the Marsblade team glad to hear how much you enjoy them! //Per and the team @Westside We are looking at adding a smaller single radius (we already have the 8ft single radius insert option) but not sure if and when we would do that. We chose not to do that right now because a smaller front radius than the 8ft will give a higher chassis since more room in the front is needed for the rocker. Also the R1 has longer wheel base which gives more stability so that part is not ideal for off ice training. We want to make the best products for its specific purpose so rather than making something that works decent for off ice training and roller hockey we want the R1 to be as good as it can be for roller hockey and the O1 as good as it can be for off ice training. Hope that makes sense. //Per, Inventor

No the shop did not need to do anything. The R1 chassis is a performance chassis vs the training O1 chassis. The R1 chassis has more support (larger front radius) vs the O1 chassis and therefore will give you more stability and support when pushing off. This is why there's less of a dramatic change vs a rigid chassis. The O1 chassis has a 4ft single radius. The radius with the most amount of movement on the R1 has 5ft (heel) - 8ft (toe). So the toe has a twice as large radius on the R1 vs O1, which is very significant. //Per, Inventor

The blue silver combo was just prototypes. //Per

No, one of the inserts needs to be mounted to keep the right distance between the upper and lower chassis. If one is not mounted it will created damage to the chassis. On the R1 the bolt is intended to be tightened all the way until there's a stop. So the rocker movement is decided with what insert you're using rather than how tight the bolt is. //Per, Inventor

@busdriver The O1 has a single 4ft radius //Per, Inventor

Hi! There's no stop on tightening the bolt on the O1 right now, so there's no definition of "all the way". I'm just suggesting if you adjust it with 90 / 180 degrees at a time that should be enough to feel the change in resistance. //Per

@YesLanges I'd say a quarter or half of a full rotation of the bolt should be something you can notice in feel. So 90 or 180 degrees that is. //Per

If you can feel the chassis clunk you have the center bolt too loose, try tightening it a bit. Yes, well aware that this is not ideal. We'll look at a dial marking for the 2.0. //Per Mars, inventor

The Frame/chassis spacers are not intended to be adjusted just tightened firmly, they are put there to get side stability. //Per

@primo Ok, sorry to hear about the confusion... Yes, I'd say it's better to change to a size Large... @YesLanges Great to hear you found a boot with a good fit! //Per

Good to hear! For most boots this is not an issue so I'm afraid we don't have a solution from our end. Experienced pro shops or equipment managers use various kinds of shims to take up the space if needed. //Per

Vs the O1, the R1 chassis has a larger radius to provide more support and stability when pushing off. The smaller radius in the rear allows to still get the smoothness in turns and longer wheel contact with the surface. It offers 4 different interchangeable radius inserts so you can customize according to personal preference. The O1 has a straight 4 ft radius. The R1 comes with the combinations: 5 (rear)-8 (front) ft, 8-8ft, 5-15ft and 8-15ft. //Per, Inventor

Hi, If the leaf spring is broken I can send a new one, no problem. There should be no movement at the front. Feel free to send me an e-mail at per@marsblade.com and I'll set you up with a new spring. //Per

Sounds good! We're very excited about this launch! We already have had national team players using them in the World Roller Games in Barcelona, NARCH and other top tournaments. Apart from the aluminum there's other performance enhancement features. It's a game changer for roller hockey no doubt 🙂

Hey! Yes, we're actually in the process of finalizing the designs of a performance roller hockey version of the frame, with the lower frame in aluminum. Keep your eyes open for this. We'll start a pre-order campaign later this fall. //Per

@_RH_ yes, there should be a custom wrench included in the kit with the extra wheels, folder etc

@YesLanges great!

@Coldclay Did you receive the new components I sent? Did you figure out how to install them? //Per
