    When you list the item you specify the details of the shipping, specifically size and weight of the package. SidelineSwap then chooses the best method of shipping for you when the person buys it. They remove you from the entire process in regards to shipping.

    If you make an offer and you know its low then that can annoy the sellers. Source: I have done more than 200+ seller transactions on SidelineSwap with a 100% satisfaction rating.

    Been using the Warrior QRE girdle and love it but the shell doesn't fit as tailored as I would prefer. I was wondering if there are any third party shells that are more form-fitting or if I should just get the shell tailored.

    The 2X looks good, its the 2X Pro that has the yellow on them 😞

    The only issues I have ever seen with that holder is people overtighten the nut which pulls the front "tooth" out of the socket it fits into.

    While I am a big fan of the AS1 skates they did not work well for me either. The boot was too stiff and tall. I also found that the built-in arch also caused me a lot of discomfort as well. The FT1/FT2 is a much better fit for my foot type and skating style. You might want to consider changing to the FT1 if you are going to do the 90-day satisfaction guarantee.

    Our stores in Seattle, WA sell a lot of them and everyone who has used them, myself included, finds the benefits of these are substantial, especially if you get them profiled. You really should try going to a flatter hollow, less than 3/4" once you get adjusted. Most of the people we sharpen that have Flare are on 1" - 1 1/2" ROH, the ones with a 1 1/2" ROH usually have a ZC though.

    You don't really skate on your toes or heel. Also, the primary benefit of Flare is not the width as most people think, its the actual flare of the steel which allows you to get over further on your edges. The width obviously does help with stability and glide, having a more flat hollow, but that's not the main focus of the benefit of the steel.

    You can actually use a prosharp level if you have one, measure it from the left side and right side. The amount it should be off on each side should be equal. If that doesn't make sense I can snap some pics later today.

    Well, since I own a few stores its more difficult for me to "scratch the itch" since part of owning stores requires me to have intimate knowledge of everything we carry and sell. I personally will not sell something without trying it first, which some might think is a bit "over the top" but with so many vendors and options I would prefer to give all of my customers the best bang for their buck. It also allows me to avoid selling them something which might fail prematurely due to poor design or manufacturing. That being said, the luster for acquiring new gear and changing gear constantly left me a couple years ago.

    Did you use them WITHOUT any of the attachments?

    Standard shipping. Usually, 5 days unless they get slowed down when processing through customs.

    CCM uses 263 for 7D/EE and 7.5D/EE for retail and only change to 272 in size 8D/EE.

    1: The S29 is a fibre composite and not Curv. They will both bake mostly similar but the Curv will obviously be stiffer. 2: The fit will be mostly the same, but with fewer foams and padding it might fit a little bigger 3: Usually, yes.

    In the newer releases, if you chose the fabric liner, they include wear patches now. The clarino liners they still don't have them. I do know some equipment managers that have added them though and it looks pretty simple.

    I have the digital 2019 catalog if you need it.

    I think the opposite, the CCM FT1 is slimmer than the Vapor 1X. Agreed.

    @clarkiestooth did.

    280 is actually fairly common on a size 8+ but obviously, everyone is different and thus what works for some won't work for others. I totally understand your frustration, and they really should have done what you asked or at least communicated back to you what they did and did not change before sending you the skates back. As for swapping to a smaller holder, I wouldn't worry too much about the holes if they are filled properly, but I do understand you getting new skates and paying a premium for such and wanting them to be done properly.
  22. VegasHockey
    Yes, I like them too. They are very stiff and durable compared to the LS Edge holders.
  23. VegasHockey
    What size holders are mounted? I skate on oversized holder myself as do many others without issues, assuming you have the steel profiled and pitched properly.
  24. VegasHockey
    Why would you need to know the difference between right and left steel? They should be 100% the same.
  25. VegasHockey
    For a while we had almost all players swapping the True/VH holders with Tuuk LS Edge holders but the last 10 pairs we have delivered the players wanted to test the True/VH holder first and liked it and didn't want to swap it out.
