    Better off selling them and getting a new pair done. I have never seen anyone get post-production changes. Ever.

    May want to look into ProtectaClear. I use this on customers who are rough on steel. https://www.everbritecoatings.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7

    Agreed. Last I heard they are at the top of the line.

    1/2" is pretty deep honestly.......

    Some templates have a built-in pitch. If you want to have a neutral pitch you would do the following: Mark the blades pivot point on center (like normal). Mark an additional pivot point 20mm back from center (closer to heel). Line up pivot point on the sled with the black dot. Place blade in the holder with the 20mm back from center lined up with sleds pivot point. Do not clamp yet. Press left directional arrow till the sleds pivot point lines up with the center pivot point and clamp in place there. Make your wheel adjustments like normal. Profile till complete.

    From what I have seen the VH skates were more pliable than the TRUE skates and as such many people feel they fit better but did not last as long.

    My mom was a private banker in Beverly Hills when he was at the height of his career and she was his personal banker. She was able to score me some signed Airwolf memorabilia from him when I was a kid because I loved that show.

    Figured I would share this for people to understand the options available to them.

    I also see a lot of issues with customers who get their VH/TRUE skates and then crank on the laces, and/or lace from the outside in, and/or use wax laces. I feel like non-waxed laces and lacing from the inside out allows the laces to slip a little and properly distribute the tightness across the entire facing of the skate. Also, as mentioned, you should pull them enough to remove the slack but it's not really necessary to crank down on the laces.

    had pain in my arch, right behind the ball of my foot. I cut that section out of the red insole and the pain went away. I think there was too much lift in the arch in my case. I also noticed that Baier SpeedPlates worked well for me too.

    I wonder if its a specific hollow or type of ring that causes the steel to burr more than others.
  13. VegasHockey
    This seems reasonable.

    The customer said it was a factory defect. Not sure as we didn't fit him and he got the skates in Vancouver. I swapped the holders for him though and sent TRUE an email with the customer's information. First time I have ever seen a VH/TRUE holder with a defect.

    Sad day when a customer comes in with this......

    I used a gummi stone. Cheaper and likely works the same, or even better. Its also cheaper.

    I dont lace the top two eyelets in the AS1 or FT1/FT2 and dont lace the top eyelet in the TRUE skates. I think in my next TRUE order I am going to ask them to use fewer eyelets and not to put in a top eyelet.

    Anyone know why CCM doesn't use D30 in any of their skates?
  20. VegasHockey
    You just need to email them for a status update.
  21. VegasHockey
    Through retailers, yes. We sell them. I am not sure if Flare will sell direct.
  22. VegasHockey
    Not yet. I have been hounding them to make it for the VH/TRUE holder but they just dont see enough of a demand. Maybe now that TRUE is only shipping skates with the VH/TRUE holder they will reconsider.

    I have a shit ton of E700 helmets in black, white and navy, laying around that are brand new, but they are all XS and Small in size. Anyone who wants sone is welcome to it. Just pay for shipping.
  24. VegasHockey
    Weird. What kind of steel?
  25. VegasHockey
    Yes, should not be a problem. Are you using any oils or glaze? Are you doing a slow final pass?
