    Rather sweet Kovalchuk

    I quite fancy doing a One100LE with a mag chassis or Humm'r.
  5. Kanya
    Nice one - how did they fix them (other than give you a new pair?) PS - I'll reply to your PM when I get home mate!
  6. Kanya
    Yep, based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Shoot me a PM on here and we can sort something out - play mostly roller with Edinburgh University team. Now wondering which LHS you used...!
  7. Kanya
    Give em hell. I'd be wanting a replacement boot and the frame removed from that boot too by them. Then take it to a better LHS if you can, and speak to them about shims etc. The boot has seperated as it's being put under so much strain to conform to the shape of the chassis. I can't believe they let you take that skate home never mind do both of them. Good luck...and go mental lol

    epoxy it, or use some kind of super glue and squeeze some in there (take the insoles out) - basically anything strong enough to plug that gap and add strength. Make sure you clean it up ie the excess before it dries. Other than that, I dunno what else you could do. When they have fixed the chassis on, it looks like theyve had to bend the sole to affix it. Its under way too much pressure from the conversion, I'd be raging. They should have used a shim at the rear of the boot to relieve the pressure.

    Can you post a picture - you sau unworn..do you mean they've never been used and the seperation occurred whilst getting them converted?
  10. Kanya
    chassis mount looks ok. Its probably just an optical thing - how'd the feel when you skate - thats what matters most :) Did you have to dremmel the sole to accomodate the all 80's?
  11. Kanya
    Should be the same size ie a Bauer 8.5 ice boot.
  12. Kanya
    Same - all I use eBay for is buying lots of gear! Got that much gear that 4 of my team mates are using sticks, goves, skates and helmets that belong to me lol. I'd quite like to eventually get access to that forum, and give forum members my cash rather than random ebayers. reminds me...I must look into how access is granted.

    Sound rather sweet - look forward to the pics. Where'd you source the mag frame? I got a white mag Boss Black frame a while back via Ebay USA (im in UK) - havent seen any for sale since, just the alu vanguards. Been trying to get a couple more mag frames but zero success.
  14. Kanya
    Converted a pair of Nike One90's myself last week - had the choice between a white Mission mag (from Boss Blacks) or use an older Alu frame. Epoxy'd the sole too for added strength in the middle area and filled all the vent holes in under there, Went with the Alu frame as it was smaller. However...the boot is smaller than most of my other conversions so the chassis was a shade too long, although it skates rather well which was surprising! Only downside to this boot is the lack of side buffers, played a game 2 days ago and scuffed them a little on the side panels. Dont want the garish skate protector things, they look horrendous...but if anyone has any other ideas...? Was thinking of making small square buffers by using epoxy.

    Totally - it's what you feel will work for you as an individual...everyone's different :)

    I'd get them converted. Buying a non-hockey skate will just feel weird for you, ie I like the ankle freedom and forward flex hockey skates give, whereas recreational skates dont really work the same. Take them along to your local LHS, they'll do them no problem - you won't be the first or the last person they've had through the door wanting a conversion and it doesn't take long (you may have to wait a day or two depending on their workloads) - wont cost much either (bear in mind you'll need a chassis...)
  17. Kanya
    I'd have to completely disagree with your statement above. I've used converted hockey skates for outdoor skating for years, switching from specific recreational skates to hockey due to the fact my skating style changed when I started playing more and more hockey. I've been skating for over 20 years, and think that you are ALWAYS better to have a boot that fits you well. I also find your balance will improve if you are not relying on fancy gizmo's to iron out bumps, cracks etc - learn to ride them out. Yes, hockey skates will rip up if you fall in them a lot....but your balance will stop this...! If your easton's fit you well, get them converted. I am sure the sole will be fine, I've converted much older boots than that in recent times and all have been fine.

    lol was going through this thread from the start, looking for pics of converted One90's...and find a guy talking about my purchase of the skates above....! They've since been given a white Mission vanguard mag frame, think I posted pics of them somewhere in here lol Love these forums.
  19. Kanya
    I've got a pair of TO's with a Mission mag hi-lo on it, the sole on the TO was fine for making some extra wee holes! Go for it, makes it a great roller skate.
  20. Kanya
    Bear in mind that hes a UK 7.5. Pretty sure the guys who are saying they had a small frame on their skates at 7.5 are referring to US sizes which is a size 6.5 UK. Anyway I stuck medium hi-lo's on mine, theres a pic of the way they looked in the conversion thread somewhere. (mine were 7 UK)
  21. Kanya
    @ EKs My skates are all a 7 and I went with the medium Mag for each. @ Ocky Pretty hard to get hold of it seems in UK as our shops suck balls, I ordered a set from the US. Took a couple weeks to arrive.

    Still have my red aluminum Easton from my junior days - shame it's way too small for me now, still in great condition. I'd love to find a silver "gretzky" easton aluminum for a decent price. Always wanted one as a kid!
  23. Kanya
    I really like these, what flexlite boot is that? Look great the all balck boot and stark white frame and grippers
  24. Kanya
    really like those Tours on the tri-di and the bauer's look excellent with the black mags on them. Did you remove all the graphics from the frame? If so, what did you use?
  25. Kanya
    WoW nice collection :) And omg at the V Forms....!! Blast from the past, how were they to skate in?
