Putting larger holders on skates (?)
asgoodasdead replied to bogeywhite's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
itll work but you'll need to add a few extra or the rivets will pull out after a while since the cobras are only drilled out for 4 front 4 back because the graf screw system is much stronger and more durable than rivets -
Putting larger holders on skates (?)

i skated on 288 holders for 17 years and recently got new skates with 280 holders(sharpened the exact same way) and there was definitely a noticeable difference/adjustment -

the Step website explains the differences. -

I used to think the exact same thing. after switching to lighter skates I couldn't believe the difference in footspeed, but more importantly leg fatigue throughout the game. should also mention that my new skates are much stiffer though which also helps -

yeah superfeet have that hard plastic arch. it softens up after a few skates, but i'd go with an insole with a lower instep or softer arch for sure. -

shouldn't be too hard or expensive to replace the broken rivet -
I think it'll work better than last summer since they're overhauling the defense. trust the Gorton fisherman.
-
why? they haven't won a cup since 94. gotta do something. need to get rid of AV and Arniel, though
-
it's not really a rebuild, but more of a retool like they did last summer
-
identical caphit, but Saad is locked in for another 4 years and Panarin hits UFA in a year or 2 so this is longterm cap savings for the Hawks
-
i love stepan and raanta, but this trade is a homerun by Gorton.

$699 would probably be for off the shelf. but if they keep selling direct-only and not through retailers, that cuts the price down quite a bit since there's no middle man wetting it's beak -

the True model also doesn't have the vent holes on the bottom -

just scored a pair of lightly used Alex Steen VH skates off side line swap. they're my size and width so hopefully his feet aren't drastically differently shaped than mine and they mold to my feet okay. i'm sure i can punch and manipulate if need be. couldn't beat the price -
man, that's brutal. i'm really sorry for your losses. but i hope you and your dad now have room for 2 other dogs that need homes.

this is how the one league i play in has become. these kids come home from college and jump on and the league doesn't give a shit at all. and its not like these kids are taking it easy. they could be up 8-0 and they'll still be skating like its game 7 of the cup finals and celebrating every goal like they've never scored before

I used the Lidstrom and Drury for years and years. now I use the stamkos/zetterberg/cammalleri/modano and have no idea how I ever used those big heel curves

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/272689567799 cheap -
I'm running Step runners straight out of the box on my Graf 703s and there was no adjustment or issues. ran them with superfeet and now SpeedPlates. then again, I never had the stock steel profiled either
-
that's what I've always loved about Graf. my last pair I bought in 2000 and finally retired them 2 years ago. replaced them with 703s from the same era I found on eBay barely worn for $90. not to mention how comfortable they are after bake and break in. even after 15 years my last pair were still so comfortable and there wasn't really any boot breakdown just the exterior of the skate was hammered and ripping from blocking shots and whatever else. thankfully with my new pair I've been wearing skatefenders with them from day 1
