    I took a closer look at the knee cap last night. It's just liner and some medium foam on the backside of the knee cap. Surprisingly thin for a pad of that price point.

    It doesn't matter. But, due to the contour of the blade, if you point the toe to the right you can have the ring hit higher up. The same setting with the heel pointing right will cause the ring to stop when it hits.

    Tacks shins aren't as protective as one may think. I was bruised up nicely from a wrist shot that hit just off to the side of the knee. Funny thing is, the other areas are extremely well protected.

    Even if they were built to a last of your foot, you'd still need to bake them to form the tongue and interior foams. If that is what we are talking about...

    Covered...

    Looks like the curve on the P90T starts further from the heel than the 28. There's what looks like a usable flat at the heel. I assume for improved backhanders.

    Not sure I consider those white skates. I think the white accent actually works. When I think white skates, I think Fedorov and the Supreme One.xx LE's from 2012. Gotta have the white toe cap to be a true white skate. Which I think is what makes them look so terrible.

    Well, right now you have Tydan, Massive and Bionic all making replacement steel for the edge holder. Massive is selling their product on hockey monkey. I'm no patent laywer, but this makes me think they found something.
  9. stick9
    Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the scope of the patent.

    My guess is, Step had the biggest impact on Bauer's business. Which is why, even though they played by the rules, Bauer went after them first. From day one, I always thought Bauer made a giant mistake by not licensing the Edge runner tech. The money in licensing fees would have been equal to, if not more than what Bauer would make selling their own steel. Far less headache too.

    I'm not. They were clearly violating a US patent and they knew it. Which is why they never offered it to the US market. They even stamped some blurb about it on the steel itself.

    Yup, totally agree. It's not "brainwashing". It's sticking with a brand that worked for you in the past. Lets face it, as good as CCM is right now, they were equally as bad not to long ago and they were pretty bad for a good stretch of time.

    Aye, too far to the front if I'm picturing the set up correctly.

    I don't think it was that. I've skated on various FBV's, never an issue. I think the 3/4 Fire just wasn't deep enough for me. Which is fine seeing how most agree that Fire rings tend to feel shallower than their equivalent ROH.

    How so? I figured less SKU's for them to manage, lower production costs (more of one thing is easier to make) and less overall on hand inventory, raw materials as well as finished goods.

    I bet companies and retail shops would love that. At that point it's just different flex shafts. No crazy curves to carry or left sitting on a shelf in some shop.

    Just cut the bars in your line of sight... Easy enough. I know, it's still a modification. Giving the options I'd rather deal with some bigger slots than a janky mount job. JMO

    That's the irony of the white skate. You get them because they look cool only to have them look like hot garbage after a few months.

    You could always profile to a ProSharp 9.5/10.5 and get the best of both worlds. Give it time. It will take a few to get used to the new skates.
  20. stick9
    If you've never skated on a 3/4 ROH, skip the 3/4 Fire. I skate on a 3/4 and hated the 3/4 Fire. I had edges but it just felt way to floaty to me.
  21. stick9
    I think it's assumed people won't export and post to other forums.
  22. stick9
    Neither have I.

    I've done exactly that before. In fact, my old Easton S12's came with optional heel shims. Yeah, it does add some pitch but it also alters the way the boot fits. Heel lock and ankle placement are affected. Sometimes you need to rebake.
  24. stick9
    Could it be a monocomp boot? Looks like it's only graphics, no heel cup or outersole.
