  1. Thought these were pretty cool:
  2. Added another pair of Whale gloves to the collection [/URL]
  3. I assume the plastic toe cover is at least part of the culprit. Not sure how much.
  4. Did you paint them white?
  5. This was true in most of North America, due to the reasons cited above- Poor quality control and poor/non existent customer service. Most of the shops near me (Northern CT/Western MA) dropped their accounts over ten ago. The demand was so small (and the problems so bad) that shops could cut them loose without a second thought. Their product "development" reminded me of Sherwood - basically getting left behind clinging to wood sticks when the market changed to OPS and composites.
  6. They were talking helmet/cage hardware, not women specific helmets.
  7. Alan , look at bolt and nut. Now think about male and female reproductive parts. The bolt is male, the nut is the "female" piece.
  8. I would imagine the size is very dependent on your degree of over pronation. You should probably experiment with shim width and get that dialed in prior to ordering skates with a built in shim. Ordering the wrong shim set up could cause more problems than you are trying to correct.
  9. Does the lace "knot" move to the same side as well? My buddy had a similar issue with his RBZ's and I was able to correct it by installing lace locks in the top eyelets.
  10. Ah, I see it now, in back of the leather area of liner. Is it just on one side, due to the tongue shifting over?
  11. It looks like the tongue will still be rubbing as you skate, the tab would just keep the tongues centered in the boot. I would think glueing a reinforcement piece of thin leather over that area would provide a better result.
  12. Nancy Reagan https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-u-first-lady-nancy-reagan-dead-94-165050570.html
  13. Looking at credit monitoring services- anybody have any input on this? Looking at "TrustedID"'s family plan, seems decent. ..
  14. So the Mrs finished up our tax returns using Turbo Tax and hit "send". Error message comes back indicating someone already filed. .. Awesome.
  15. Thanks. Really my only complaint with VH is the cheap "loop" sections of Velcro they use to attach tongues. It's the only thing I've had to replace. Remove old Velcro, use Barge to glue on new piece and then have a cobbler near me stitch around the perimeter. Much less labor intensive than stitching in new tongues though, so if that's my biggest gripe so be it.
  16. After several weeks of 40-50 degree weather that completely melted my rink, It's been cold (-10 last couple of days) enough to refreeze. I put three coats of water this afternoon and tonight. Smooth as glass. Supposed to be 30 degrees, and my son and I have the next two days off. Looking forward to getting out there and messing around for a few hours.
  17. The True reps at Summer Jam last year mentioned these were in the works. Nice to see they were able to get them to market. Intriguing concept.
  18. Picked up a pair of pro stock Quinten Howden skates (pair on the left). They are wider than my customs, but I swapped out the thin tongues for the thicker VH ones and put in some CCM insoles and they feel pretty good. The new style tendon guard and toe box feel very solid. Put new CCM tongues in my customs as well.
