    I wonder about the Bauer "Own The Moment" store? Or I should say "Bauer Hockey Experience" since being acquired Pure Hockey in 2020. The Minnesota store has a great Performance Lab leader in Romeo Vivit. All Blackstone equipped store so maybe get a FireBall but certainly not changing over to all automated.

    Put your skates in a washing machine!

    Great anecdote. So the 95 adjusts like the 150?

    I sharpen skates for one other family and both pairs of their skates are the cheapest, non removable steel. They're always gouged up pretty bad, especially of they've been outside. To get rid of these imperfections completely you'd be cross grinding a mm off every time. Also, not sure if this is my imagination but I think the Fire edge is more prone to contact damage. ???

    I can't believe this isn't already happening. It just makes sense.

    This thread certainly shows your age.

    I see they are on the Bauer markdown list and nearly all sizes depleted at the big online hockey stores. So no Speed plate 3.0? I'd like a lighter version of the 2.0 that doesn't crack.

    That's great, but where would a guy buy it? Some of this product is so obscure. Why doesn't Pure Hockey or Ice Warehouse stock them? I can go down to the local hardware store and buy CCM or Bauer.

    Byonic? Sure, another unicorn like the Massive Blade I finally gave up trying to find. 🦄

    Those must be outlawed in some arenas.

    Some really good ideas. Thanks guys. I never would have thought to add on to shoulder pads with the bottom of an old set. Brilliant.

    Hello, My son got cross checked in his last game right between the shoulder pads and the breezers. He's layed up now and going to miss four games this weekend. The docter commented on how his rib cage was slightly extended/longer than most. What is a good way to protect this part of the body? Just taller breezers/pants? I'm not looking for lower back support, just need a little more protection.

    So with a ProSharp profile and machine how do they do that? Would I just ask for the profile to be touched up, or is it a specific item on their price list? Reprofile? I'm just trying to understand that process.

    He likes them for sure. It's hard to get quality feedback out of a middle schooler! We'll throw throw the LS5 back on for practice tomorrow for comparison.
  15. 218hockey
    No, you're correct. I just finished up and needed about 12 on the BT blades. My son will be home from practice in a bit, we'll see what he says. !!!

    Who has experience sharpening new runners on the Sparx? Bladetech, just off of the Prosharp profiler. Ten passes?

    Does the Bauer splash guard fit the Concept II shield? Looks like it should.

    I avoid any ads that have the words "pro stock". You just don't know what's been done to them.
  19. 218hockey
    What does this mean???
  20. 218hockey
    I just meant skating backwards in general with the flatter radius of the Quad at the back of the blade.
  21. 218hockey
    What about skating backwards?
  22. 218hockey
    Didn't want to beat this anymore and I know this isn't specifically about the skate but I want to clarify something about the Pulse TI. I know the runners that come in the Ultrasonics have the Quad profile. But not the replacement Pulse TI runners at lhs? Standard 10' radius?
  23. 218hockey
    Thanks!
  24. 218hockey
    Two questions about these skates: Is this Pulse steel Quad profile exactly the same as the ProSharp Quad0? How hard (expensive) is it to change out the tongues on the retail skate?
  25. 218hockey
    I might know someone interested.
