My 950s never got a ton of gameplay use... I had gotten them on clearance way back when and used them mostly for ball hockey pick-up games at a local outdoor rink. They don't fit quite right (boot is too clunky, EE width, which I really don't need) and I have been getting killer foot cramps the last few days skating around in them. I really hate the lace system too... 10 years wiser, I would have prob skipped over them, but here I am, and they are the only skates I own.. Was going to bite the bullet and grab a pair of Inhaler FZ-5s or FZ-3s, but they are sold out almost everywhere online... suggestions welcome!

After a second look, I think you're completely right: my absent-mindedness on spacers seems to be the problem. Without them, the bearing can jiggle just enough on the axle to rub the chassis, but with spacers it's OK (albeit a hair away!). Once the wheel wears down after a skate or two, all should be good, so I'll run 72/80. Thanks!

Thanks! Pics are linked below. The 80mm rubs up against the center bracket, not to the degree that the wheel won't spin, but it's pretty, pretty tight. I also just noticed there is quite a bit of wiggle room between the bearing and the axle... guess I'll order some bearing spacers. https://ibb.co/dJJSm1c https://ibb.co/gwBMq3x https://ibb.co/3NhBzJq Note: the wheel you see is a 76mm (have that in there now as the fit is better).

Hi all, New here, and just picking hockey back up again after a nearly decade-long hiatus... I have an old pair of Mission he950s and ordered some Labeda Asphalt wheels, assuming the MG hi-lo chassis was 76-76-80-80. Turns out the old Mission setup was 72-72-80-80, so the 76s don't fit up front and the 80s really rub against the chassis in the rear (I've read threads on ModSquad where it was recommended to file down for space, but fear doing that as I'm a heavier skater). My question: is there any harm running a 72-72-76-76 setup? Otherwise, I'll go ahead and file down the chassis to fit the 80s. Thanks for any advice, and all feedback is most welcome!
