    What exactly does this mean? Not sure if anyone has ever told you this before, but, you're rude. Perhaps it is you that needs to perform some self-reflection.

    If at this point I dont have credibility in this community or on Reddit, then there is nothing more I can do to change that. I try to provide insight and input when possible and everything I say or post is my own opinion. There are plenty of people on MS that I am friends with and know personally, there are others that I may not be close friends with, but I do skate with them, other individuals I have provided services to, sold equipment to, etc. I dont feel the need to justify who I am or what I know. I'm not trying to be rude, I just dont see why it matters.

    A lot of things..... Some stuff under NDA, but we do composite fabrication and engineering. Research of composite, coating, and casting systems and manufacturing as well. Also, as more of a hobby, we dabble in metallurgy too. Myself, personally, I deal with engineering. Not sure why any of this matters though.

    Someone mentioned that on Facebook there is someone selling Mako II skates still. Can you link me to that listing, please? I tried to search for it and couldn't locate the link. Please and thank you.

    I have seen a few defects that are sort of similar, but not exact. This would be an anomaly. If they are in fact fairly new he could ask for new steel from CCM.

    A 263 holder length is standard on a size 7 skate. That is not longer than should be. In fact, many players will request a 272 on custom skates on a size 7/7.5 skate. I actually use a 272 on my own skates, both True and Bauer/CCM, which are 6 7/8 left and 7 1/4 right.

    Companies change directions though. Also, a lot of times its cheaper to let someone else do all of the work and then buy them after. A good example, but not hockey related, would be how IBM bought Red Hat for 34B a few weeks ago 😉

    We do a lot of stuff for the local WHL teams and work closely with their equipment managers. Also, we are more than a store.

    Every pair of skates is going to be different. Too many variables and factors. I totally understand your pair of skates and the Bauer/CCM models you might interact with are holding up decently well but the ones I see, at any of our three stores, dont hold up nearly as well when you compare them to True skates. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying Bauer or CCM dont make good skate. They do! I adore the FT1/FT2 skates! I just speaking from my own personal experiences.

    We sell them for 15.99

    I deal with a lot of high-level Junior teams, including WHL teams and such. I rarely see a single pair of Bauer or CCM skates make it through more than a single season. Most players go multiple seasons in a single pair of True skates. I skate about 15+ hours a week on average and my last pair of CCM/Bauer skates looked pretty beat up after 4 months.

    It would make more sense for BlackStone to buy Sparx... which could happen.

    The older generations of skates are made different than the last few generations. The NXG, MX3, then 1S and finally 2S Pro are all made from similar materials, but in drastically different ratios. Around the time the NXG and MX3 were released manufacturers started to become obsessed with lowering of skate weight. It took CCM a little longer, moving from the RBZ/JetSpeed OG to the FT1 and now the FT2.

    No.

    Interesting, I have actually heard of quite a few customers recently who pulled the liners a little when baking the skates and they had to get the liner repaired. One of our customers had the same thing happen as well but he has not brought the skates back for us to mail them to True for him..... we have been waiting for a few months now.
  16. VegasHockey
    Yeah, I have one of those and we sell them at the shop too. People love them. The little Bauer tool included with skates sucks.
  17. VegasHockey
    Where are you located?

    The lightweight hollow feeling is nice until you take a shot to the foot or the skate starts to fall apart. I guess its all depends on the level of hockey you play and how often you are on the ice, but for me, nothing has been as durable as my True skates. Not even close.
  19. VegasHockey
    This is clearly an issue with how the person baked the skate and tightened the laces.
  20. VegasHockey
    I did.

    Channel Z on a goalie works fine, lots of grip. That being said, I only know of one goalie that has tried it and keeps using it despite everyone claiming to like it.
  22. VegasHockey
    Thats actually pretty common, to have to use a heat gun to get aftermarket steel to fit. I see it more with the Tuuk LS Edge holder than other brands but overall it's pretty common.
  23. VegasHockey
    It takes some adjustment to get accustomed. It's basically an Ovie style curve.

    To be honest, you should not have accepted them if they were to your liking. True will either try and fix the issue or make you a new pair of skates if they cannot correct the fit issues of the first pair. They have been very easy for us to work with.
