in da crease

My A6 Sprungs have broke for the last time. I'm out of parts and can't get any more. I loved them when they worked. Not so much when they would snap. Maybe I will sell off the good parts to fund my new project: CCM U+ 10 with Mission Vanguard MAG, Bones Swiss, and Revision Variant Gold. I should have these finished up tonight and will post up a picture.

Wanting to convert a pair of CCM U+ 10 to inline. Question 1 - I'd rather not cut or dremel clearance. Will I have more success mounting a Mission Vanguard Hi/Lo or a Hummer Eviction chassis. Question 2 - What size chassis for Size 8 CCM skate? Small or Medium?

Any goalie's using FBV? Obviously the glide would be less important. My son (goalie) actually uses a dual cut or, what I call, a compound edge. Not sure how realistic it is but the guy that does his skates brought it up and we tried it. Junior loved the way it felt so we have stuck with it. Basically, he puts a 5/8 hollow in the entire blade and hits the toes with a 1/2" to give him that extra bite when pushing off. In theory, it makes sense to me and Junior likes it. Not sure what it would look like to a trained eye. Could that still be done with a FBV?

I paid $159 for the Tacks. They just went down again to $135. I wonder if HG has any price protection. You can build this set up for: 992 Tacks = $135 Sprung A6 = $120 Hyper Phantom wheels = $1.50 x 8 = $12 (on sale @ HG) * these come with Bearings $8 Spacers = You can build these on the cheap for as low as $275. I have Bevo ABEC-9 bearings and RR Hornets (Black and Silver 78A) coming which drives the price up. I'm really impressed with this 992 boot. I've always been a CCM guy with my last three pairs being Ultra Tacks, Pro Tacks, and Vector Pro's. This 992 boot is as nice as any of those three were. And comfortable too.

I just started playing roller hockey. I've been on the ice for the last 34 years. My current ice skates are Vector Pro's so the holders/steel from these Tacks will be held onto as spares when my Vpro holders/steel break (as they eventually will). They are the same size. I play inline tomorrow night. I hope my spacers get here tomorrow.

Gotem mounted. I'm still waiting for spacers and some some A6 arms for the other skate, but here is how the finished product turned out. I'm pretty sure the wheels are junk but I got all 8 wheels with bearings for $12 for hockeygiant. I threw them on the order with my Tacks to get the free shipping. I have Black/Silver 78A Hornets coming this week.
