    Anything other comparable wheels that are not $14 each? I tried Konix +1's and am not a huge fan so far. Skated on them for a season and they seem less stable / less grip.

    I was like 230 when i decided to try out the Konix +1 and i dont really care for them. They are fast, and I have to give them credit for durability but the grip and stability are not there for me. As a heavy skater, best wheel i've ever used was the Orange Addictions. They lasted maybe 2.5 - 3 seasons before they chunked out.

    I have NLS3's, bought them this past July.

    Kings sale this coming Saturday. Has anybody been? Is it a circus? Is it even worth it?

    I'm with the bubble wrap folks. I've shipped a bunch of sticks this way and never had a problem. I trace out the shape of the blade on two small pieces of cardboard (cut it out a little bigger then your tracing) and then tape them on the front and back on the blade to protect it. Wrap everything in a couple layers of bubble wrap, tape the crap out of it with shipping tape. I usually put the shipping label on the blade. Done I really dont think there's any advantage to frankensteining a box together vs just wrapping it. Also, it's surprisingly affordable to ship this way.

    W71 vs W03

    MD56 replied to MD56's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment

    thanks, what characteristics would a deeper curve bring?

    Caught a great deal on a QRL, but it's in a W71 which i have no experience with. If i have my choice, I usually go with W03 / Crosby / Ovi. From the IW description, it just seems like the W71 is maybe a sixteenth deeper in the curve? Otherwise they look pretty similar. Anyone familiar enough to offer a comparison?

    If the decision was purely based on bang for the buck, I think you'd have a hard time beating the Shifts. Found some on Amazon for well under $300. The thing that ended up getting me was the fit. I have a narrow heel and RPD's felt a bit wider than my old CA's. Ended up going with Mission's just on fit.

    RPD Shift vs Team (skate). What are the biggest differences? Per the specs, it looks like it's just the quarter material right? Just wondering if that's with the $100 price difference. Thanks
