  1. While I like the concept there's no way I can see myself veering away from the FBV cut. Where does the wheel start and end? Is it engineered to prevent the toe and heel from being shaved and banana'd over time?
  2. You forgot to factor in return shipping charges...
  3. I'm lucky to have several AMT (adaptive motion trainers) at my gym. I like it better than ellipticals since it allows a free stride as if running without any impact on your joints. Used to love running but with an artificial joint those days are over.
  4. Returning to the game after having hip replacement surgery 6-months ago.
  5. If it makes you feel better you have my vote for ugliest car dashboard....
  6. Maybe some other shop guys can answer the durability question for you. I haven't seen that many pairs out there nor as it been out long enough to know for sure. As for stiffness, I really haven't noticed a difference from trying them on. There's also one model lower than the M8 that's coming out this Spring.
  7. Carbon-fiberglass in the M8 as opposed to the carbon-composite in the II leading to the Mako II being slightly lighter. I've noticed better molding in the Mako II over the M8. Not sure whether it's perception or reality though.
  8. How can you not offer lifts on a "custom" skate?

  10. Wonder if Bauer did this by design? While I appreciate the digs Warrior has thrown at the 1X, the bottom line is that it's just bringing more attention to the Bauer twig.
  11. It all comes down to what works and doesn't work for the individual player. I don't consider myself heavy yet I skate on 3/4's and I have seen many tall, heavier players skating on 3/8's. I got to my setting my gradually working my way up to 3/4's. You also have to take into account just what it is you're trying to achieve.
  12. 1X is a true one piece. Bauer uses the term monocomp.
  13. Looks like the same except for an upgraded liner to Thermo Max.
  14. Yes, Warrior makes a nice 4-roll glove, but... 1) This thread is for discussing 2015 Bauer product. 2) He asked about replacing his current Bauer 4-roll pro within the Nexus 4-roll line.
  15. Being a huge fan of mesh gussets IMO the 1000 is much nicer than the 800.
  16. Nice addition of the 'skate line' laces. Will probably be popular for those non wax lace users.
  17. Fit wise there's no difference between the Mako II and M8.
  18. Unlace the right skate fully and see if you can see what is there? Not sure if you are describing the area of the top of the toebox or the side? Pain, especially sharp is a concern, even if minor on your scale.
  19. Get yourself some nice new white waxed laces to go with that shiny new holder!
