Hi, I noticed on my 7 week old Tacks 9070 skates that the holder is misaligned cause a deflection in the steel. The deflection is around 1.7mm The shop has assured me this isn’t too unusual and is a straight forward fix, not needing any new holes drilling. I am due to take them in on Friday for them to do the work, however my relationship with the store isn’t the best but they are unavoidable as they are so large in the UK. I assume the fix is to remove rivets and refit the holder? I am always paranoid about keeping a good fit on my boot, does anything on the repair affect the heat moulding of my skate? It has been done twice so far to get the spot on fit, so I don’t want anything to change, or have to do the moulding a 3rd time. Assuming that it wouldn’t usually affect the moulding of the boot, is there anything they can mess up that will affect it which I can check? Are they being honest about no drilling?

This seems reasonable to be honest. It’s likely that these are initially cut from stainless steel shit, assuming a 3mm nominal thickness the tightest tolerances would be +/- 0.13mm. With the tolerance getting larger as the stock sheet size gets larger.
