    You have to dremel out under the 2nd wheel to make the clearance for it. If you grab one of the Tours or Alkalis off the rack, you can see that they build it into the boot.

    Probably because I was in the right place at the right time to get him one of our frames. But at that size skate, there is a serious advantage of going all 80s. Since the 2nd wheel is recessed into the boot, you still get a lot of the mobility of having smaller wheels in the front, while having a much larger contact patch which allows for faster speed while working less.

    Looking good! Let me know what you think of the Addictions. A lot of tech has changed in the last 14 years as far as wheels go.

    How about one of me coaching my son at WIHA finals?

    Picked these up during the HockeyMonkey Memorial Day sale. Put a Hi-Lo Kryptonium frame on them, they feel good so far, but it seems like all of the vents in the frame make it warp a bit when loosening/tightening bolts.

    Stretchy mesh material actually. Almost like the top of a skate/soccer sock.

    $59 from HockeyTRON, might be the best glove for the money on the market today. Haven't tried them yet, but they feel as protective as my pro stock EQ5's. Also love the retro look of them.

    Is that actually red stitching, or does it just look that way in the photo?

    What is the sizing of the Fuel line? Is it around the same as the Syndicate line or does it fit like the old Mission skates being true to shoe size?

    I believe they will do Bullies if you do a team order.

    About me: 6 ft 185 lbs, high level men's league + officiating. I'm probably on skates around 4-5 times a week. Grip: 10/10 - These wheels are super grippy on both SportCourt and IceCourt. The pink layer on the inside is softer than the outside, which really helps grip. Speed: 10/10 - Usually if a wheel is grippy it isn't fast. Not the case with this wheel, again because of the two durometers on the wheel. The harder layer does not slow me down at all, which is usually the case with most grippy wheels. Durability: 8/10 - I used the wheels for 2 months of heavy use. Refereeing takes a toll on wheels, and these were no exception. The wheels did wear evenly, rather than chunk down the middle. Had one wheel break at the hub for me, but some idiot in mens league took a huge slash at it off the faceoff, Eschelon offered to replace the wheel anyways. Looks: 6/10 - Pink. Enough said. I've been chirped a bit for them. Value: 8/10 - I'd have liked this wheel to be more in the $8 range, but it is still priced better than a few Labeda wheels and close to Revision & Rink Rat. Overall Rating: 9/10 - I'm pretty picky when it comes to wheels, and these are some of the best I've used. I really don't care how they look, or what color they are. If they perform like I want them to, looks don't mean a thing.

    Is that a CCM branded Warrior Dolomite?

    Just because you personally don't like a product it isn't a bust. BladeTape type products have quite a following.

    The 2007-09 USA Hockey Rules and Casebook has 3/4" as the max curve. Also, FYI, The AAU/USARS Inline rulebook states that there is no restriction on blade curve.

    Looks like a right handed Hossa, The blade tape makes it look less drastic than it really is.

    Was very close to hopping on those a few weeks back on ebay. They look even better with your photo than the one that was up. I'm regretting not trying to get them. Good find!

    There were much deeper issues than the two superstars leaving that had the drop in everything. The previous ownership (Baldwin) was writing checks he couldn't cash. Lemieux took own the team as a creditor and ran the team so it would lose as little money as possible in the mean time. The NHL was a different world with teams like the Rangers, Flyers, and Leafs spending huge amounts of money. A great example of that was Robert Lang going to the wings for 5 million a year. So the Penguins did not waste money and try to be competitive, did that hurt fanbase? A bit. Using that though, they rebuilt through the draft instead of poaching other teams talents and have been highly successful. Ultimately time will tell, but I don't think that will happen in the salary cap NHL.

    Anyone in the Pittsburgh area looking to get the FBV sharpening, Hockey'n at in Aspinwall, PA (Not House of Hockey) has a Blackstone with a FBV wheel, with plans on getting more wheels shortly. Going to take my Graf's down there next week.
