I think it was s mistake to have made the holder taller and steel shorter just to save weight. Having steel that short really kills the potential to have them profiled more than once and really decreases the lifespan. Ya, they give you two hit that just means profiling two sets. If I'm gonna order another pair of Trues, I'd stick with the CCM holders anyways.
-
From the pics I've seen the black steel he had is def taller and not because it hasn't been profiled. U can see the blacksteel he has is slightly different in that the hole in the rear hook is even smaller.
-
Shouldn't be the speed plates. Did you try them on with the stick foot beds?
-
The wick liner actually looks nice. Might go that route next. Also nice to see that they raised the height on the steel. I wonder who is gonna be making steel from them here on in. I hope it's tydan..
-
🤮 I really hope those are retails.. actually. Regardless... Wtf
-
Why don't u just try doing it yourself. Chances are bc of the long bake times , the adhesives get loose/ melt a bit. It happens. So it may not necessarily be a qc thing as pre bake it could've been stuck pretty good. Honestly I wouldn't bother paying someone to do it and just get some flexible adhesive and do it myself. Or even loctite gel super glue. I know true used to recommend using the loctite super glue for liner issues.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?

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.

This is a standard shaft but low kick? Always thought the taper was what produced the low kick
