I've used all three, 28, 92 & 90TM. The 90TM is really good blend of both those other curves without some of the drawbacks. The 90TM plays like a less aggressive 28 with a flatter rocker. After a few skates I put all my 28's up for sale and never looked back. BTW, CCM offers a P90 and P90T, neither of which are the same as the retail P90TM aka Benn Pro. Though the 90T is close. Something to keep in mind if you shop for pro stocks.

Same here. I believe it's the only 8 sheet complex in NA. The bit about a retailer being right down the street was the kicker for me.

I'd be shocked if they did either on their own. They sort of seem like a middle man to me. You know, take the orders then order from a manufacturer in china and ship to the customer when they arrive.

If that's true then the rocker was definitely different or Easton's lie numbers didn't align Bauer's. I had issues with pucks sliding underneath the toe on P92's which is why I stopped using them. I never had that with Sakic's, Hall's or even Warrior Drapers.

Meh, sort of. The P92 was always Bauer take on the Sakic, never a one for one clone. The original Sakic, and Hall for that matter, wasnt as open as the 92 and it was an standard 5 lie. The rocker may have been different as well.

So I loved the lace locks when I had them back in the day. I tried them again not too long ago and found them extremely annoying and frustrating.

The 90k is what I would consider the true evolution of the Ribcor line. The 100k pro is a different animal. It's more of a take on what a modern Ribcor would be like. Great skate, I absolutely love mine but they lack some of the things that drew me into 70k's. Enough where at one point I thought about getting custom 90k's.

You might be better off buying cheap used Reeboks or CCM's and harvesting the lace locks. For example - https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/skates/4528799-reebok-8k-size-5-hockey-skates

The fit system confusing?? LOL like it wasn't majorly confusing before. The goal of the Fit Systems was to allow players to wear whatever model skate they wanted. No more, you're a Supreme fit or you're a vapor fit. That was majorly annoying and flat out ridiculous. I will admit, there are some minor annoyances. First, not every skate uses the fit system. Second, a tapered Ribcor feels and fits slightly different than a tapered Jetspeed. Not enough where I couldn't wear one or the other but enough to where one felt better than the other.

Unusable, please... For every complaint about breaking there are dozens of skates that are just fine. Oh and BTW. Every company in every market is looking to make products less costly to improve profits.

Didn't he have two pairs of CCM's? Maybe he's returning the Jetspeeds???

Bingo! And it's also why it isn't always the seller trying to pass something off as something it's not.

Hmm, I did not know that. Hopefully I never have to use it. Thanks.

FWIW, I'm a CCM stick user and I steer clear of CCM pro stocks. Their codes are useless without the barcode on the handle. I don't know if the "partial refund" feature works like a payoff. When you purchase an item you either accept or reject. There is no bartering so to speak. Maybe it's an option if the buyer contacts customer support.

Does the runner move when the skates are cold? I always found it harder to remove and insert runners when the skates are cold like during use. They're much easier at room temp.

Having an item returned or canceling a sale generates an automatic negative review.

It's all personal preference. When questions like this are asked people tend to recommend what they use or like. The thing to keep in mind is, what works for some may not work for others. Give em try and see what one suites you best. I switched because I hated taping sticks. Even though I had a fairly decent process they still felt different from stick to stick. IMO $40 on grips that have lasted three or so years isn't a waste of money.

They have to be selling them off or donating them. I can't imagine they're eating the cost.

Ive used both Tacki Macs and Buttendz over the past few years. I prefer the Buttendz because they are transferable from stick to stick. They're also much more durable than Tacki Macs. You get what you pay for I guess.

Give Howie's lightly waxed. They're much easier to deal with. For the negative space. What about insoles? Superfeet take up a good deal of space.

This version of Mathews AS-V's looks much better. More pics in their Instagram post.

Sold elsewhere....

The 100k is a one piece boot. It will be stiffer than other ribcor models. Just an FYI. I'd see if you can find some new 70k or 80k's. I see them fairly often on sideline swap. @claymanwhat size are you? I have a pair of lightly used 70k's I am looking to sell.

Do what everyone else does, relist them. I've had to do it a few times. Pro stock gear is fairly common these days. It's not hard find out what it is. If you can't, there's always another pair. Never cared for pro stock pants. They always felt stiff and heavy to me.
