    I'm in UK and got one of these ordered in specially. I use a Bauer 1x, and didn't like the Alkali. The stick is finished in a weird almost papery feel texture to it. The blade felt sort of dead to me. I kept trying to get along with it but ended up selling it. Also after 15 mins at a training session it looked like I'd owned it for years. Gutted I didn't like it, was excited to get it. I wouldn't recommend it either to anyone. And I love alkali gear.

    Yeah it will :-)

    Amazing Justin!! Thank you :-) Anyone know how many times you can bake RPD CA9s? First pair of Alkalis, and they're outstanding. Few of my teammates starting to order their own Alkalis now.

    Good call, I've just emailed puck stop and demon xtreme this morning as both carry their skates. I'll fire one to hockey station too. Weird the sticks and gloves are so hard to get. Fancy trying a roller hockey specific stick especially as it's made by true temper. Thanks for the heads up, appreciated:-)

    Hoping Justin sees this.. Having a real hard time trying to find a alkali stick stockist anywhere in UK. Was able to get my Alkali CA9 RPDs no problem and many shops stock the skates, bags and sometimes girdles. Never gloves, or sticks! The two things I'm really looking at getting hold of. Are Alkali subject to the same "no shipping outside of USA" like Bauer etc? (I understand why they don't ship out with) Basically I'd really like to get hold of the RPD Max stick as its specifically for roller. Any help you can offer would be great, thanks!

    I quite fancy doing a One100LE with a mag chassis or Humm'r.

    Similar question (I'd asked before and was advised to get a measurement) My friend here in Scotland asked me what skate was best to go for - I've recommended the Alkali CA5 over the T6 and other skates out there (one's available in UK) and he's taking my advice even although this means shipping from US to Scotland. With this in mind, he wanted to be totally sure he is ordering the right size skate - his foot is 27cm long and 11cm wide. Would he be ordering a 9? It's tricky to work the sizes as its usually a size down plus converting from UK to US size etc etc - it would be a nightmare to return back to US lol if he gets it wrong!

    Thanks Justin, appreciated :) hockey monkey only shows 3 curves (A17, A33 & A77)
  12. Kanya
    Regarding your 3 differing stick blade curves, which is closest to Bauer's P91A (Staal)? About to pull the trigger on a CA9 stick this week.
  13. Kanya
    Ok my friend is about to order some CA5's from the states. He is a UK shoe size 10.5-11 However this needs to translate first to US sizes so I guess he would then be 11.5-12 US Would he then order a size down? ie the US size he'd need to order would be 10.5-12 US Trying to get this right first time as he has no way of trying these on in the UK and the ocst of shipping to the UK is fine, but paying the same to return etc etc would be a nightmare lol. basically I have told this guy to get Alkali over the competition...please help me make sure he orders the right size or I'll look a twat ha ha!

    I was just talking to a team mate about the Alkali protective stuff - I honestly cant believe its taken this long for a company to bring out kit like this for roller. reminds me of Biltrite/Mission gear - it was perfect, I still rock a pair of Biltrite Works gloves from time to time (actually wearing them tomorrow for a tournament for a couple games) - the breathability was great in that line of produycts and this Alkali stuff is looking great. Definately going to end up getting the skates, girdle and stick. Already got a fellow Scotsman about to order a pair of CA5s over the competition, despite him having to order from the US and having to wait. What sold it for him was checking out this thread too and the fact Justin responds himself. Dont think Ive been that intereted in roller gear since the Mission/Biltrite era as I have in this Alkali stuff. Its nice its a roller orientated product.
  15. 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!
  16. 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...!
  17. 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
  18. Kanya
    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.
  19. Kanya
    Can you post a picture - you sau unworn..do you mean they've never been used and the seperation occurred whilst getting them converted?
  20. 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?
  21. Kanya
    Should be the same size ie a Bauer 8.5 ice boot.
  22. Kanya
    About to do the same, for a pair of the CA9's - the fact Justin is on here, answering questions yet not overly pushing his product is why - roller hockey kit for roller hockey players made by rollerhockey lovers lol. A lot of the kit reminds me of the golden Mission era (Wicked Lights, VSIs etc - the time when whatever Mission launched, I had to have it. Not had that feeling over kit for a looong time)
  23. Kanya
    Best line ever "...and it feels like I have noodles wrapped around my feet" ha ha awesome. These Alkali look great, first line of skates I've been excited about, kinda the same feeling I had as a kid seeing the new Missions back in the days of Proto V etc.
  24. 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.
  25. Kanya
    Probably abiding to forum rules ie no promoting retailers etc. I am sure Justin will provide the info in due course or will post publicly the gist of the PM's. basically...we can get them from US unlike other brands who restrict shippings.
