@Marsblade - Any thoughts on a "pro-series" R1 chassis? I love my R1's, but do find the weight is a drawback for many considering them. The R1's feel overly chunky compared to high-end fixed frames, which I assume is because they were designed with durability in mind. A performance model would be amazing to see come to life, something a little lighter in other colors, maybe with the TF radius included. Selling just the lowers only, could be a great upsell for the competitive roller players already using R1's, kind of like DLC blades for ice holders.

Thanks this really helped. I ended up getting both R1's for inline and the I2's over the Summer past. I have to say I'm very impressed with the product, especially the I2's. The idea was to match both my inline and ice profiles to make switching between the two as seamless as possible. I ended up adding a 1/8" heel shim in the R1's and using the pro series H5- TF radius, which matches the Quad Zero profile with the 17ft radius on the I2's fairly well. I would absolutely love to see @Marsblade work with @Flare Skate Blade in the future. It's a match made in heaven for both technologies.

How are people finding the durability of these? I'm thinking about making the leap

I go with my own too, mainly because I find most commercial deodorizers are overly scented. I do 50/ 50 water and vinegar, and then add 20 drops or so of Tee Tree oil. It works super well for me and is cheap, effective and not overly strong-smelling.

That sounds perfect and pretty much what I was hoping for! Thank you

Nice! How to the feel compared to a felt tongue? How thick are they?

Thank you! I’m looking forward to giving them a shot. Anyone tried them already? Any thoughts on them?

Anyone know if those new 3D printed tongues True has coming out, will be available to order as a separate?

Awesome, thank you! Will do! How did you go about the DYI option? Feel free to DM if you prefer. Thanks again for the info, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply! Those look awesome! Just wondering if you would be kind enough to share more details on your experiences. What kind of professional shop did you use? Powder coating or like a car body shop? Also, for the DIY bronze set, did you just sand and paint them? Those look pretty good to me! Sorry for all the questions, I'm a newb at this.

Has anyone tried removing the blue color from the metal part of the frame? I have seen Coast Hockey shop sells uncolored (silver) and black R1s and would like to remove the blue on my pair.

Thanks for the response and video, I hadn’t seen that before.

How does the pitch of these compare to Tuuk?

What's everyones favorite wheel for smooth concrete?

For me it's got to be my Eagle PPF gloves. I've had multiple pairs but been using them solid 6-7 years now.
