    Did you have to use any spray? or just wiping it down with a cloth?

    I think Hybrids are nice, but the common problem I've heard from people that use them is that there's a big blind spot where the cage meets the visor part. I'm probably going to try the FV1 as well once my Bauer goes.

    I put some Liquid Electrical Tape on my insoles, and it's worked well. I think Nicolas G was the one who told me about it in the TRUE skates thread.

    If anyone can pull it off, it'd be Ovi and Subban.

    I'm trying this tonight, https://imgur.com/a/uztuXtk 2 questions, 1 - did I put on enough? 2 - did you also apply it on the bottom of the soles?

    Normal Rain-X is formulated for Glass surfaces I believe, I would try their one for plastic surfaces. https://www.rainx.com/product/plastic-water-repellent/rain-x-plastic-water-repellent/#.XXfryJNKh24

    I'm debating between these or Hybrids for my next one.

    I did the same switch from the old style stock holders to the SB4.0, and it feels great. Nothing I didn't get used to after a couple of times out. Switching to SB4.0 feels better on hard starts and stops, but on the other hand feels a bit like I'm catching my toes a little during long strides. I was measured to be a bit faster, but there are so many factors a play that I don't think I can say that really.

    I'm happy with my 7092 Girdle, but this would have been a good choice too it seems.

    Does this one have an integrated cup? I think I heard the Warrior one does.

    I like that the business part of the mechanism is recessed, I don't like the fact that it requires a tool, but it seems like the regular Bauer one needed a tool sometimes to release the blade anyway. The barb does in fact look quite long, but I trust that it's for a reason.

    If it's only been 5 weeks, I would contact them ASAP to start a conversation with them on what they suggest. @Sniper9 is right on the money with regards to that bake technique though.

    If you look back a little you can see the history of events, but the short version is that I did try the TRUE's for a bit (5 months), I wanted to give it a try at least. I didn't like the holders, they clicked when I walked and felt heavier/bulkier (not sure if it was actually heavier). To be fair, when I contacted them about the clicking issue, they sent new holders right away, but since I was going to have to take the holders off anyway and I had some SB4.0 Step's Blacksteel already from my older skates, I decided to put those on instead. If I were you though, and if I could wait another month, I would try the new True holders that's going to come out. I certainly wish I had waited had I known.

    I have the exact setup, True with SB4.0 and Blacksteel. To me, the trouble was well worth it.
  18. Giltis
    That holder looks almost looks like a Marsblade-esque thing with a quick-release.

    My CCM Tacks Girdle felt so tight when I first wore them, I almost returned them, but after adjusting the leg straps and about a month or so everything kinda fell into place. It fits me perfectly now, I couldn't go back to regular pants anymore.

    Oh I didn't mean to sound like I knew anything about them, I was just compiling what was said previousely. Has anyone had any feedback on these? They look nice.
  21. Giltis
    So pretty much: Gray/Dark Clarino is thicker, doesn't soak up much moisture and dries fast, more advanced in terms tech, and is more suitable for general folks, what you get by default Tan Clarino gives better grip, suitable for Pros and only available off-menu New snug fit liner is in testing, which would be the best of both worlds, but not even available off-menu

    My skates finally, after some fiasco with the holders and steel. It's finally done, had a game last night and it felt incredible. Halfway through the game I felt confident enough to loosen the laces even more. Credit where credit is due. The guys that I originally sent these skates to have the holders switched, mangled the job (bent the steel as well as a result). But Joe from B-Sharp in Ottawa was able to fix these up better than before, he actually called TRUE to get my scan and their build papers, and consulted with them on how and where to mount these properly, got me back on the ice the next day. Above and beyond work.

    Also neat to see how Rask wants his stored open, and Halak stores his closed. He could be breaking them in too, break in a few and feel how the are during the warmups.

    Looks nice and clean. I'm about to drop off my skates for the holder switch to SB4.0 as well this afternoon.
  25. Giltis
    Long shot, but what size are you? You're in an extremely similar situation as I am/was. I would go SB4.0 (which is what I will end up doing because I have Blacksteel for it already), because I realized that in all my years of playing, the quick change ability would have only saved me a handful of times, if that.
