I really dont know. Ive only delt Graf Swiss. If you are interested in the Swiss made Grafs, I can PM you the name of the hockey store I used to organised my visit.

I met Ms Graf when I went to the swiss factory. She did seem very concerned about mounting an inline chassis on the newer soles. From what I could gather (her English wasnt great and my swiss/german is non existant) its not just the uneveness that was the problem, it was because the recessed parts in the sole was not the same thickness as the edges. The new soles just arent as thick/rigid as the old white ones (she didnt really bat an eye lid about converting a pair of 707s). They would most likely be able to make a newer skate with the white sole if you ordered custom skates. FWIW, they can remake any of the old skates. Even though the 707 is the old model, she said she can always make me a new pair in a few years when my current ones wear out.

cheers, ill have a look around and see what i can find along those lines

Was defintely worth the wait. Re wheels: I got the new ones out for the photo :P (It seems wrong to be able to skate the same set of wheels for over a year, must try harder) Just need to work out what to do to stop the boot wearing down when i stack it... tape?

It is called plexus, its a plastic cleaner. Only thing I use on the MC helmet and iridium visor Speaking of which, I still owe you a can Mr Wabbit

^^ Good thinking!

Im a long way away from playing, but thought I may post a noob hockey pic from the weekend: noob hockey In case anyone was wondering, we have to use floorball balls until everyone has a cage. Im the token "old duck" in the kid's class (there arent enough adult learners to run an adult noob clinic)

That is appalling, having skills is one thing, but a poor attitude can quickly negate the value of said skills. P.S love this thread, great for noobs like me!

or one that screws together like a pool queue

Interesting thought, thankyou. You are right, there isnt much room to do anything. My backpack, ends up sitting on the pillion seat. I've gotten away with hiring a stick from the rink so far, but its way to short. May buy a cheapy and see if I can leave it at the rink.

K8 GSX-R 1000 (still havent figured out a suitable way to carry a stick yet :( (I dont like the idea of carrying it strapped to my back and then being taken out by some twatt who got their liscence from the bottom of a weatbix packet) )
