  1. That is awesome Croiso. I got the exact same old sharpener currently sitting in my garage waiting for me to restore it. But I use an X2 Blackstone currently and plan on messing with that as well.
  2. Agreed ... I have the same issue as Gun and fbvnyc on my X02. The top bearing is hard to get on and then it is loose once it is all the way up. Taper isn't the word I would choose but after about and inch or so of sliding it on, which is tough, it moves freely after that until I have it in place. I also get the wobble which always worries me. But alas just as NYC stated some things must be let to slide.
  3. My shop has only seen a handful of loose edge blades in their holders and those are mainly, if not only from junior players whose usage on edge holders is ten times that of a beer leaguer.
  4. Plz explain why you don't want something, like a footbed, to fit exactly to the bottom of your flat feet? O.o
  5. I'm happy to see the 37.5 reaching all the gear but am curious about the aluminized curve composite quarter package of the new Vapor skate. How does that work ? Energy return ? Protection ? Weight ?
  6. Seems that the marking on my stone is higher when the numbers are down. Approximately 6 clicks up on my holder. Going to try the numbers up again and see where the mark is. Whatever makes the marking on the stone more centered will determine which way I will put my spinner for the rest of my sharpening machines life.
  7. My helmet fits to good to even consider putting something on my head besides my helmet.
  8. Will give you that but, I wanted the new suspend tech with moisture(sweat) management at the front pushing it to the sides as the original re-akt just drips out the front all over my visor. Which I see as the only drawback to the original re-akt.
  9. A lil' disappointed about the change in fit from the reakt to the reakt100 as I really like all the new internals of the 100 but it just does not fit my head as good as the original.
  10. The whole point of Mako skates is ROM, (range of motion) which in turn sacrifices ankle support, due to how low cut the boot is.
  11. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/4gjtg15o0o6nods/AAB8ny_ARx_iNI6KLwkhRqrQa Don't know if it was wiped away when the crash happened.
  12. Thanx Chadd might have to go with 2 Ruby and 1 Orange.
  13. Can someone please tell me the difference between the 3 wheels ( orange, ruby, and pink) for the X02 series sharpeners before I drop almost 40$ in shipping costs on 2 wheels. Any insight is much appreciated.
  14. Can someone Plz explain the differences between all the different kinds of wheels use to sharpen skates. Ruby being the most common for overall value and performance is the only one I really know. Need to get some new wheels for my X02 and am kinda bummed looking at the 8" wheels that I can't get a Black, Cobalt Blue or Walnut wheel to try in a 4" size. I currently have 1 ruby with about a 3rd of a centimeter of usable stone left and a barely used pink wheel. Trying to decide if I should try an Orange out or stick with the Rubies. Thanx
  15. No but use the fridge not the freezer for 20 mins then let them sit at room temperature for an hour should be fine but there is always a chance ;) Just food for thought
  16. Hhhmmm ......... that makes more sense. I was under the impression that it was more blade because of the bigger size steel.
  17. More blade on the ice with the same settings/profile. First thing I do to all my new skates.
  18. Wow ...... Where are you located that profiling is only 15-20$? Here in Vancouver B.C., the cheapest I have ever seen is 40$. And that was 10 years ago. The average now is 50$.
  19. For anyone that has seen the new MX3 skate............ Does it fit a slight deeper with the new lacing system? Inside ankles sit basically right at the eyelets on previous models where there is no padding . Trying to figure if I need customs or not. Thanx
  20. Was wondering if or when we will hear about Tack skate spec's? In RBZ's now just wondering what the fit is in comparison? Tacks = Vapors RBZ's = Supreme Ribcores = Nexus .......or somethimg along those lines..........
