  1. These puppies dropped and look really nice. At that price I'm skeptical of trying Tour given their issues with durability. Anybody give them a go? https://www.inlinewarehouse.com/Tour_Roller_Hockey_Skates/catpage-TOURSKATE.html
  2. They will put them on sale when they hit a certain amount of remaining stock. They did the same with Mission release where the fz were still full price when the wm line dropped. Personally I don't wear vapors but I'm really baffled by the decision to only offer in fit 2.
  3. Well, Bauer rollers are built in the Vapor last and Mission rollers are built on the Supreme last. So size 6 in both would be your most logical bet. I'm assuming you already figured something out, but just putting it here in case
  4. Thanks, I guess I'm sticking with a cage then
  5. Bumping this as I'm considering going to a bubble. Is there any verdict on which bubble is longer? I have a long face (wear size small helmet or medium on the smallest setting, and size large cage always) and am leaning towards CCM, but just wondering if one is longer than the other
  6. You probably already got it but I would back the 85 for concrete as well
  7. R1 feel pretty close to standard to me. OK can get really loose and give you a good workout
  8. I haven't had much by way of fit issues with elbows, but I do prefer a2 piece pad as I find the 3 piece allow me too much mobility and I tend to hyperextend and hurt my elbow. Not sure why but I don't have the issue with 2 piece pads.
  9. Gotcha. Sprung have great power and grip, they are fast and really maneuverable for all 80s and the grip is excellent. R1 felt to me very slow and clunky, not necessary because it's weight, just the way the work. Grip was better than a regular chassis, but they were slower for sure and the maneuverability was the same. I didn't keep them because I just did not see myself ever using them.
  10. Not sure what you're asking. Difference between what?
  11. Personally I would just go with a straight chassis if I didn't have sprungs. Not a fan of the r1
  12. You probably need a 13 with fingers extended in that case. If you have long fingers but want a tight fitting glove then I think ft1 pro stock is the way to go as the fingers are extended 1/4"I believe
  13. I have a pair of Kyle Clifford's Kings gloves that have no plastic in the backhand
  14. If you ever saw his pro curve you would know he's gotta be a gear nerd lol, but retail skates is great
  15. No idea about retail I just have pro stocks but not all pro stock even have the plastic.
  16. 2S pro protection is top notch imo. Not many gloves without custom pinky guard will help you on the side of the hand there. I've taken lasers straight to the backhand and no issue
  17. https://sprunghockey.com/shop/ Thom bought the rights to the website, so he actually sells through here now. You save on the fees and tax and he does as well. He doesn't have a7s I don't think. But he does have the rights to production, so maybe reach out and see if he's trying to manufacture some. He told me in the summer that when he sells out he will consider making a new run
  18. What width were your franchises? 14N and 13W franchises have the same length fingers. Lengthwise, I think if you fit 13s in anything than you will be 13s in CCM pro. But the ft1s are snug. But I think 14 will be long in the fingers
  19. It will open up back there and if that's your only issue they should be pretty comfy. Part of Graf's amazing heel lock is that pocket design, but it does take time to get to that perfect feel
  20. They're nice. I usually just use them to stick handle in a lot near my house and they have lasted fine and are comfortable. Can't tell much difference between them and the konixx outdoor purrs though, at $5 more per wheel
  21. If I wouldn't have already jumped ship to true I would be all over those puppies.
  22. It's a p92 that stays more closed at the heel and opens up a bit later than the retail edition. But McD already told Oates to go fly a kite and looks like he's sticking with his curve. It's very close to a square toe p92, similar to Iginla but a much deeper pocket and opens up on top. To say it's an Iggy with more curve depth and more open does not exclude it from being similar to a p92, as the 92 also has more curve and is more open to Iginla. That said, I'm a right shot and I've only ever seen lefty of both McD and Oates, so there are possibly nuances that I'm not pickup up (I have a hard time doing it for lefty curves)
  23. Lol I never really tinker. Lace once and play, can't remember the last time I had to untie my skates to lace them again. I was also in Supreme with the lace locks for the last bunch of years
