As I have said a number of times, a lot of my guys love the 95/75 and they all came from 1/2" ROH.

Don't worry, Chippa will still find a way to argue over it. ;)

Upright is ok but the guys that bend forward at the waist a lot have trouble because the same posture will put their shoulders out past their toes and take them off balance.

I left my X02 in the case for a while but I ended up collecting too much dirt and dust in the case. Now, it just sits on a bench that I built. It isn't mounted, but if I was going to do it, I would use some carriage bolts through the surface of the bench.

Damn, when she gets out of jail ask if she wants another econoline conversion. I think I'm going to sell the one I bought for the hockey tournament last year. Glad to hear that you are well, though.
-
As I understand it, you can only order the X02. I don't think there is a version of the X01 that will run on 220.

A friend of mine used to leave his gear in the back of his truck. One game, he pulled out his hockey jock and it was frozen solid, so he decided to thaw it out with the electric hand dryer in the men's room. I don't think I'll ever forget that smell.

From what I recall, the X/50 is supposed to be roughly equal to 2.5" glide. the 100/50 is 1/2 to 9/16 and the 95/50 is closer to 7/8 according to the chart. I haven't used anything other than the bat gauge in years. I can make it work and I'm too cheap to buy a different model.

When JR and I were at the Hockey Show in Toronto something like 8 years ago, the wind chill was -40. Fun fact, it doesn't matter if it's F or C at that point, same temp.
-
The Bat Gauge is ok, there are a number of other devices that work as well, or better. Opinions tend to vary on the different devices.

Still on stock holder/runner and no issues at all. It was one of the easiest transitions that I've ever made.

Bad news: Scheduled to work over the holiday Good News: Now off for christmas Bad News: Because of another turbulence related concussion I've said this before, but it is well past time to get a new job.

Not for me, it's almost painful to watch. Then again, I don't get caught up in the emotion of the group, that could have something to do with it. The last couple football games I went to ended up making me sad for the human race. I heard and saw some utterly despicable things from people.

Exactly, I don't have to worry about beating it up, it's already there. The obnoxious, oversized pickguard is hiding all kinds of other non-vintage issues that it has. http://www.bcrmusic.com/cgi-bin/1965%20Melody%20Maker.jpg

Stumbled on to a '65 Melody Maker at a shop today. It has been through hell and back but it resonates like crazy.

I have no idea which places we were in, but I'm guessing that I was nowhere near there.

Mandela was epic, for so many reasons. There is so much that we can all learn from the example that he set. -
I hate being sick

90/75 had too much bite compared to 7/16? Something is not right with that, unless the ice was a lot softer. You may like the grip of the x/50 a little more. Something like the 100/50 maybe.
-
With the lack of depth on the mako, I can't use a thicker insole like superfeet.
-
Get a different place to sharpen your skates, that is Blademaster's attempt to copy the FBV. It doesn't require a different machine, just a different dressing tool and the correct spinners. Blademaster lists the X6 as 3/8 - 1/2, X7 as 1/2-3/4 and X8 as 3/4-1". That's a pretty wide range on all of them.
-
There is plenty of lateral support in the Mako, I have you by a few pounds and have no issues with that at all. If you have thinner ankles (a problem I don't have) then it sounds like the Mako 2 will be a better option for you. They have changed the padding around the top of the ankle to address some of the issues people have had there.
-
I think everyone in the industry that I have talked to has said pretty much the same thing in regards to the Mako and MLX skates. The Mako is simply a much more polished product.
