Ya that's worse than I thought. The area on the upper cuff part. Is the stitching still in tact? If so you can just use loctite or similar product. Or even shoe glue. Something flexible is prob best. As for the rubber trim, looks like it wasn't laid properly and is almost lifting bc it should be stretched out more. Possibly Remove the tendon guard and shorten the strip and put the tendon guard back on... Which isn't as much work as it sounds. Interesting how it doesn't look like they used the bead of epoxy to seal the rubber and the carbon together.

Sb 4.0. Love them.

I never need to disinfect my stuff when I promptly air dry it after every use
-
If it's just glue I wouldn't waste my time to have it shipped out and shipped back. I'd just glue it myself

I use these. https://canada.drysure.co/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1-3yBRCmARIsAN7B4H1HxVpYwS6tUhYxWwX7GtShwktlWEyza7J3ey2i0MotIUIHGXAjwOwaAl9PEALw_wcB

I'm ocd when it comes to skates and sticks lol. Didn't help when I had edge holders for that short time. Since using the an 4.0s the last year I haven't had to worry about loose steel and the rivets have all been solid so far.

Yes and no.. because the facings on his skates wrap so we'll, technically the wrap itself reduces volume. For example true skates. They wrap so we'll it removes all neg space. The crease on his skates could just be from wear and tear and break down. He uses pretty old model skates that are probably tech mesh. That said older skates didn't wrap and mould as well so volume was pretty specific, hence the three diff fit lines. Who knows though. He could also be the type who over bakes his skates to get them super pliable and uses them for a short period of time as well which might be the reason why it's creasing/premature break down. Or he actually likes wearing skates that have extra volume... Which to me is a bit odd since he tire them up pretty tight.

Or maybe caused by the ledge of the helmet at the forehead that I was speaking about before. How the plastic wraps over and literally is almost in contact with the forehead.
-
The bake temps def have some influence on noises that the holders make. Whether it be the steel or the rivets. The expansion and contracting from hot cold etc... Don't think it really has any detrimental effect besides being really annoying.

Maybe an issue with ccm production lines in China? Wonder why CCM is pretty much purely as2 and ft2s in the nhl. Don't think I've ever seen a trigger 4 / t4 paintjob

I've had mine for about a year. And have no issues at all. Functionally or esthetics. Mind you I only skate once a week. My last pair lasted over a year and again no issues at all. No premature wearing of the liners etc.

It's a movie....

Just looks ridiculous to me. Esp when on worn. Not a fan at how the plastic wraps over the front of the forehead and ear areas. Seems like if you had any frontal or side impact those areas would dig into your skin. Lastly the poorly cut vents that aren't smooth....
-
Definitely 1/5 for looks that's for sure.

Are TRUE shafts and blades being discontinued?
Sniper9 replied to Davideo's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
The textreme is great. Bauer imo has the best blades. I had the original 1n for over a year and barely if any chips or cuts on the blade. -
I noticed with my stick warranty replacement...
-
Never had this happen on my trues. Only time I've seen this was when the waxed laces was baked with the skates. I've used Howie's and elite and this never happens when using them on trues normally.
-
Ya two sets is nice but also means 2x the profiling, unless you like the stick profile.

"Starting with the kickpoint, the True AX9 Hockey Shaft features an optimized low-kick profile located at the bottom third of the shaft." -
Anything north of 430 I really notice. Onnand off the ice.

Sniper9 replied to Davideo's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
This is a standard shaft but low kick? Always thought the taper was what produced the low kick -
I found the clarino actually gets slippery. It's not an issue if I wear goin socks though, and the latest Bauer cut resistance socks are very good in grip as well bc of the Kevlar fibres.
-
Lol. You know what though, if it came with even a 3 mth warranty it would be a lot easier to stomach. But one mth is a joke for a stick north of 300 bucks can or USD.
-
Personally, I didn't think it was ridiculous. It was new. But not ridiculous. Now its just getting out of control since prices are rising every year for new models whereas before it was at a bit of a slower pace. I guess it's good for getting older sticks at a clearance price... Except Bauer and CCM seem to really put caps on advertised pricing even on d/c items.
