    What exactly is "Megabix" or "USM"? Have a customer going full custom on Bauer skates and I have never seen this option previously. Previously I just selected "extra reinforcement" and didn't have these two specific options.

    NHL equipment managers interviewed by Sparx stated they reprofile approximately every 15 sharpenings. Though, if you get sharpened on a ProSharp or Sparx it will help maintain the profile.
  3. VegasHockey
    Did you use them WITHOUT any of the attachments?
  4. VegasHockey
    Standard shipping. Usually, 5 days unless they get slowed down when processing through customs.

    I would not alter anything until after you get the skates and try using them first. Its never good to make too many changes at once. After using them a few times you should be able to determine what works or possibly doesn't and use that to make a decision on what profile you might want to apply. We sell a lot of TRUE custom skates and some players end up liking the factory 10' profile and don't require adjustments. Some people only require a pitch adjustment, others like a single radius, 12' for example, while others end up with a triple or quad profile. I like to go and watch players skate, when possible, before making profile suggestions unless they know specifically where they feel an adjustment is needed and can convey it accurately.

    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.
  14. VegasHockey
    Yes, I like them too. They are very stiff and durable compared to the LS Edge holders.
  15. 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.
  16. VegasHockey
    Why would you need to know the difference between right and left steel? They should be 100% the same.
  17. VegasHockey
    I said it once before and will say it again, wait for the Supreme 2S Pro if you can.......
  18. 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.
  19. VegasHockey
    Yes, I have. Been testing a pre-released version of CCM skates and also have the holders currently on my True skates too. Been talking to Tyler @Flare Skate Blade about getting some pre-released Flare for the XS holder too so I can start testing that as well.
  20. VegasHockey
    Yes, we sell a ton of it. The coating is not DLC though it does make it a bit tougher. The steel itself is very nice though.

    The holder and large Step steel are where the weight mostly comes from. If you change to the Tuuk with LS2 the weight will be almost the same.
  23. VegasHockey
    The STX top of the line is lightweight but still heavier than other top of the lines brands like Bauer and CCM. They also don't breathe as well as other brands. However, they fit nicely.
  24. VegasHockey
    The problem with both the Jet Speed and Vapor is they are flared aggressively and not as form-fitting and low profile as the Synergy line.
  25. VegasHockey
    I am not a huge fan of the Quad 0 unless you are playing at a professional level of hockey. I usually recommend the Quad 0.5 as a starting point if the customer wants to go with a quad radius. When possible I like to watch the player skate before making any recommendations but obviously, that's not always an option. The Zuperior (triple radius) is another great profile that many overlook as Quad profiles seem to be "the rage" as of late. If you modify the heel of it slightly it can be an absolutely fantastic profile giving a lot of agility, speed, and stability.
