Why aren't there more pros using these skates?

Ok thanks, that helps. What was throwing me off is the blade is not centered on the wheel to get level edges. I had to raise the blade a good amount from the center of the wheel to get level edges.

Thanks for the reply! So I turn the the two front knobs that say up and down. I assume you always turn both knobs the same amount of clicks right? Or is there ever a reason you would raise the front or back more?

So if the blade is not coming out level how do I get it level? I have an X01 and don't have access to a cross grinder.

When using witness marks to line up blade to wheel, is it the same on FBV as on traditional hollows? Or does the FBV dressed wheels make different looking witness marks?

I know it's called Flat Bottom V, but is the blade supposed to feel completely flat after sharpening? Almost feels dull.

Thanks for the reply Chadd. I guess I'll try the 100/75 and if it's too much bite I'll order a 95/75 spinner.

Hello everyone, I ordered an x01 thanks to this thread. I ordered two FBV spinners. One 90/75 and one 100/75. The 100/75 I plan on using for my goalie skates and the 90/75 on my sons and mine player skates we both have vapors with ls2 steel and holders. I sharpened my goalie skates and they felt awesome at practice. Almost a little too much edge. When I tried the 90/75 on my Vapors I had excellent glide but felt like no edges. I blew edges on tight turns. I'm pretty sure I lined up the blade correctly to the wheel. We normally skate 1/2 on regular hollows. Perhaps I should try I different spinner? How would the 100/75 be on our player skates? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
