    i didn't cut it, i meant to say shave it kinda, i used a file to remove enough of it. i think it'd be better to mount chassis on to boots which have a layer on the bottom (like all bauer's, reebok's and ccm's, as well as the new easton eq50). the s series of easton skates are different with that leather folding on the bottom, due to the entire boot being composite. it's because of this that i think some skates have the rivets loosening - a couple of my friends have easton conversions as well and they have the same problem of rivets on the front coming loose). to be honest, i think you should wait and try out the EQ50's if you're going to go the easton route.

    Thanks for the help. After searching for rivet problems with these skates I think I'll wait until the new line is out. My skates should hold up for a while still. Thanks again for the help

    i don't know if it helps you out or anything, but i have a pair of se16's mounted with a medium vanguard. i think a medium might be too large for 7.5's so maybe a small might be right. the only problem you might run into is the second wheel from the front MIGHT rub the skate (one of the folded over leather pieces (which you can cut away). that's one of the only problems i've had with them. another problem which has occurred over time, thanks to blocking a shot, was that the chassis is slowly tearing a rivet from the boot, but because one rivet is already missing. if you keep the rivets ALL in tact, i don't think it will be a problem. hope this has helped.

    Thanks for the help. I think I see what you mean about the folded over leather. Was it pretty easy to cut off? As far as the rivets they have all held up on the U+ I've had for 2+ years or is it more of an issue with mounting them with the composite boot. I wish those Eastons on hockeygiant had a better chassis. It would have made this alot easier.

    Ok so I got my skates converted but I'm afraid they might have done them wrong. It seems to me that the chassis is put on crooked but I don't know if that's how its supposed to be. I've played on them twice and I've felt off balance on tight turns. Heres a couple pictures and I can get a different camera if anyone needs super high res shots.

    I have the exact skates converted and I compared the pics to mine and they about look the same to me. I compared it with the holes from the original holder and the only thing is mine is mounted just a hair forward. Otherwise the the positioning (left to right) looks exactly the same.
