Just sourced some CCM 762 super tacks brand new with original box. New to hockey again and these are just for recce playing. Used to skate 952 tacks and figured these seem quite similar of not a little stiffer! Cant find any info of note about the "62" label. Can anyone suggests what this denotes? Like was is a step up from the 52 line or why did CCM launch them as 762 and not 752? Hopefully some oldskool heads know. Thanks. PS that garage setup is SWEET !

Much appreciated! The part that I'm worried about it the drilling but, I'm sure if I am meticulous with the measurements there shouldn't be a problem. With the M4s what size drill bit did you use? 3.5mm/3.8mm or the full 4mm because the t nuts are flush in the hole? Or, is 4mm the internal measurement of the t nut (so, eg 4.1mm would be the drill bit if you want the hole flush? (bit lazy of me to ask instead of just doing the sums lol.) I'm not sure what you meant on the side note, I didn't even know you could fit a heel lift into hockey boots! Is that to achieve a more aggressive stance or something? I think I'm gonna go with allen bolts rather than screws to get consistent torque when fitting but yeah using a 12mm and getting good purchase on the t nuts/ foot bed is a great tip! 100% gonna use. In my mind, doing your own conversions is one of these mythical skills people are in awe of. A bit like re spoke-ing/building a bike wheel. People think its difficult and are put off. But yet when you do it, its both a pleasure and surprisingly easy.. Says the guy who hasn't attempted it yet! :D Thanks again

Rike Bandit Pro conversion. Question about T-NUTS & Bolt set up: Posting from Ireland. Recently managed to get my hands on some 1999 Easton Z Air and same circa Kevlar 952 Tacks. Deciding which ones to convert to inline. Hopefully someone can advise - I have noticed the T-NUTS and bolts typically in use for conversions in the US (Imperial) 6/32. Have searched the net but for the life of me cant find out how to convert into UK(metric size). The local hardware store is a bit clueless also. Any clarification / advice appreciated. Will post pics when I finish. Managed to source some Old school Rike Bandit pro trucks, brand new. So its a toss up between mounting them , Easton Konkis or even older Bauer 6000s. Opinions appreciated. Cheers
