    Not true. Here are MLX screws. Pan Head Torx, 8-32 1/4" are what I use. T nuts and washers as well http://www.mcmaster.com/#machine-screws/=uulzgh

    Graf nuts will likely ruin the mako sole. MLX screws are the way to go, you can find them in reasonable quantities, I'll find the site.

    i put 8 MLX screws on in place of rivets on day one and haven't had a single issue.

    I prefer thin footbeds in Mako skates. I replaced the stock ones with some basic Grafs as well as some Elites without a problem

    Being customs I'm not 100% sure of the model, I think they're labeled X805i PPF. 160 + 2 and colors and striping were the only mods.
  6. Buzz_LightBeer
    Any shop with an Eagle account would have the capability.

    Thanks to Eagle, my misses will have custom pants for the holidays. Penguins striping, 160 + 2.
  8. Buzz_LightBeer
    Should be T20
  9. Buzz_LightBeer
    I would replace the front/back rivets of the from and back towers with MLX screws if you have some. Should make a world of difference.

    Retail rant of the day; Bauer's "in-stock" items and Warriors "customer service" Heavy on the air quotations.

    Done it for years, 5-8 minutes in a skate oven, then I work the fingers over the back roll to soften and elongate the palms to make them more mobile. Works wonders. I really can't see the skate oven being hot enough to do structural damage to anything.

    Did I get a car wash on the new pick up today? YES. Did I remember my equipment bag and sticks were in the bed when I did it? NOPE.

    Any Eagle retailer.

    It's designed to be their lower kick "Vapor" style. So far I'm underwhelmed, especially considering the MSRP. It's good, but far from great.

    Hockey Day in America ends a pretty good week.

    I know a guy and was lucky enough to get to try one. I'll get a few ice times on it before I get some concrete opinion.

    That black heel is so much nicer.

    Didn't you have a separate thread about this? If you had purchased your skates from a reputable dealer, Easton would be replacing these for you.
  21. Buzz_LightBeer
    Definitely brown and orange. And beautiful.

    Gift from a friend and former player. Any idea what year it's from?
  24. Buzz_LightBeer
    I'd say yes. These skates expand to accommodate feet. regarding the arch: are you using stock footbeds? If so, perhaps they are not tied tight enough. secondarily I'd put in a more substantial footbed and see if it cures the problem.
  25. Buzz_LightBeer
    I have a lefty just like it labeled Foote as well. Maybe the factory term, a la Darby or Kariya? Every Foote stick I've seen was a P5
