    Impressed with Bauer's Pulse TI.  I would just wait for that to launch...

    It would be interesting to see the how the TI coating holds up against the DLC, I'm looking forward to seeing them reviewed together. For now though im going to stick whith what I know, but thanks for the info.

     

    thanks for all of your help, I am going to pull the trigger on this: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/STEP-STEEL-BLACKSTEEL-STEDGE-SIZE-280/383671802195?hash=item59549f1953:g:aicAAOSwktNfIM5Q

     

    after searching for 2 months this is the best price I could find.

     

    I'll let you know how it turns out!

    Not a fan of the fact the seller has zero feedback, but eBay typically sides with the buyer if the seller doesn’t get you the item as described. 
     

    I'm glad I was able to stock up on 3 sets of Black steel which should last me a lifetime  

     yeah thats what i though, but they are based in Canada so surly it should be ok. Or i could wait until they sell a few then view their Feedback, but there is a risk I might miss out. I have never bought from Ebay so i am on the fence.

    I like a lot of you know that STEP no longer makes Blades for the LS EDGE holder, but I have been seeing them pop up hear and there. mostly on Ebay ( with crazy mark ups).

    I just can't see myself wearing CCM skates but I Miss having STEP on my Bauers

     

    Dose anyone have any advice for Buying Hockey gear on Ebay?

     

    I found this add on Ebay and they have the best price I have seen since STEP stopped producing the blades. (and it's in canadain dollars so it is under the regular retail for the US)

    https://www.ebay.ca/itm/STEP-STEEL-BLACKSTEEL-STEDGE-272-multiple-sizes-available/383654131552?hash=item5953917760:g:aicAAOSwktNfIM5Q

    What are your thoughts?

    should I pull the trigger ( no pun intended) or would it be best to try and source a pair at a hockey shop?

     

    Thanks,

    Jordan

    I too am interested in how this affects True skates from this point forward.  I'm sure this has been discussed before, but does anyone know if the XS holder holes line up with the 1st gen True holders and the Shift holders?  Or do you need to drill new holes?

    If you head to the STEP BLADES instagram, there is a comment on the announcement from STEP that reads ' We are still fabricating the same range of blades as before, with the exception of the Bauer LIGHTSPEED EDGE and VERTEXX EDGE holder.'

     

    i think at least for the short term they will continue manufacturing as usual.

    If there was an agreement for compensation there wouldn't have been a lawsuit...

    it takes two willing parties to make an agreement. I'm just speculating, but from the way Bauer sells it wholesale products to stores it makes you wonder if they just wanted to take the whole market for themselves. I wont be suprised if Tydan and Byonic are sued next. But lets keep this page open for STEP product questions like JR Boucicaut said.

    I’m surprised Step lost.  That’s like the automotive industry preventing aftermarket parts to be sold.  You have to wonder if the extra time is to try to negotiate a longer term agreement.  I would think Bauer would not want to alienate the pros over this.

    I feel like if STEP had no choice as a Lawsuit like this would ruin them finacially even if they won.

    How do you figure?  

    I can't see how this affects Bauer at all; they weren't being compensated by STEP.  And if they had a patent, and the patent is granted, they are well within their rights to enforce said patent.  

    CCM has had a quick-release holder for less than a year.  Which means the majority of CCM skates in store inventory as well as the vast majority of CCM skates on end-users' feet don't have a quick-release holder on them.

    And "taking over" usually means you've surpassed something.  Bauer is still the top selling skate brand by a wide margin.  

    You went ahead and started a thread about this.  Leave this thread to discuss STEP products.

    How do you know that they weren't compensated by STEP? there is most likley more to the story, no? -(I'll take future questions to the other forum, I just didn't like this hanging in there unresponded).

     

    Question for STEP: What is your size range for the CCM SPEEDBLADE XS in Blacksteel? do you have make size 215 in Blacksteel?

     

    Thanks,
