Here is a copy/paste from an email from Graf this morning

Pretty sweet. Unfortunately for me, I can see that I will be trying different styles and sizes like a fool. Each wheel is good for 40 sharpenings, Which knowing how they qualify this, would be probably 40 2-path refresshers on a softest blade in 6Y length. This makes probably 10 sharpenings of something harder in size 10-11 Sr skates. I probably, like a fool will go through a wheel in a weeks because I would need to do like 10 passes to put a completely different hollow on. Then obviously, I will eat the runners and have to replace those.. More ice time fees to try the effects... Something like this can turn into a very expensive hobby for someone like myself.... Especially if I add my daughters figure skates to this as well. I think it is way more economical for me to spend $6 per sharp and continue on with the hollow I use. But this just me, anything new, I jump with both feet into it and have no filter. So with all rinks I go to, doing the sharpening for $8 to $9 and 2 hockey stores that do it for $6 and doing an exceptional job at that, I was able to stay away from getting my own sharpenign rig... even though the thought have crossed my mind more than once.. a lot more than once actually.... Now, my estimations of the wheel life is complete bogus shot in the dark and I might be ways off from the reality. Whomever had this for long enough to get new wheels, please comment on that. I (and probably many others) would like to know how many passes this wheel can do on a skate and what kind of skate is it. Not complete sharpenings, but passes if possible. Thanks,

Thanks, how the G3035 and 535S boot stiffness wise. I was searching on line and I found a couple of mentions of 535S where one said the boot is soft and another said the boot was too stiff. I did hold 3035 in my hands and know what stiffness that is, if you held both, what do you think about the stiffness? Thanks,

... or Graf G535?

Hi, I am looking to get Graf G3035, but my local stores Monkey Sports and Hockey Giant do not have my 10d size. HockeyMonkey.com got that, so I am thinking. My experience with Graf fit is pretty sarisfactory. Hill, width, toebox are pretty perfect. My main concern however is the instep deepth. This is where I see some variations between the models. Anone can compare Graf G3035 instep deepth to Nexus or JetSpeed... I am looking for something in between, closer to Nexus (JetSpeed is unacceptable). If i am looking for something like that, am I in the right ballpark with G3035, or am I way off? Thanks
