FBV is a Spinner. It's the only way you can shape the wheel with a flat hollow. If I get a bit of cash, I just might be your man. JR you're moving to st. louis?! No. Gonna offer me a job?

The fact that he feels more bite but isn't noticing any lag in glide says that it is better.

Neither am I :)

I know, I know it can be done. I mounted Danny's first ONE90s and I shaved the excess w/ the crossgrinder. But if having an oversized holder on there bothers him, he could go the 254 and since it is longer steel with the 2.1, come pretty close to a 263 regardless.

Just get 254 w/ LS2.1. Should feel like a 263. Problem solved.

Went digging around in my attic... Short cuff, no HD inserts :) Need to be completely overhauled, palm's a bit rotty.

Yes, and it will cut down on how long it takes to sharpen a goal skate (w/ regards to deep hollows)

It's not exactly the same - the edges will be shorter because there isn't a deep hollow - it's merely the bite angle.

Hmm, it's gone now I guess.

I know it can be done to a regular Blackstone with a bit of manipulation, but it's more cost-effective to buy the portable to do a FBV.

I don't like the additional blue on the rolls. Looks more Capitals than Rangers.

It'll also require less passes.

Steve - I have a proposition for you. I'll send you an email.

No, it is a different way to dress/shape the wheel.

After everything that has transpired in the past hour, I really suggest that if you have any pictures of the skate, please don't put them up. You may end up costing your rep his job and/or losing your account.

FBV is a totally new technology that only can be done with this type of machine. Trust me when I tell you that it's worth getting.

The old ones did not have markings. I do know that they now do, but a lot of people have the old style and have to estimate. Just wait

This thread is really going south.

I appreciate it, but everyone keeps on forgetting what I've been saying since the beginning - it WON'T be shown. McGill or any pro will be wearing the X60 guts but they will look identical to XXXX.

I'm waiting We're not going to put them up. There's too much to risk - sales reps will get in trouble.

Depth and cut are also different...

If I read correctly somewhere on this forum, the Vapor XXIX (29) is a re-dressed Vapor XXX. So I suppose that the fit is different in the 29 compared to the Shift, which is a SMU based on the newer Vapors for Source for Sports. I can't really say much regarding other differences, as I'm not very familiar with the 29s/XXXs. The new Vapors do feel quite stiffer than the older set, so maybe Shifts are almost as stiff as the XXXs. I think the outsoles are the same (Texallium- correct me if I'm wrong), and both have clarino liners and LS2 holders. Not exactly the XXX. It's an XXV with slightly better features.
