Rip. My bad.

Not sure how you got that from his vague initial post.
-
Not sure about the guys in the States but here in BC we have rolls of shrink wrap for 3 dollars for a roll vs 13 bucks at hardware stores.

U should be able to tell if they were baked properly if they were soft when they came out. When I baked mine at home I did NOT turn the oven off. I kept it on at 180-190 for the entire 10 mins. I also did one skate at a time. I also did each skate 5 mins on each side. I have a convection as well. Even if you didn't get the best bake or mould you shouldn't really be swimming in them. You should use the stretch wrap and or tensor technique on both the ankle and fore foot area and if that doesnt work then you may need a remake. You shouldn't have to crank on the laces at all.

Don't u cover the top plug with tape anyways? Or you can get a wood plug and saw it off flush.
-
I'm glad I did it as well. But if i har them come mounted with true holders I would've just used them until the holder broke or steel wore... So could've been never 😆
-
If you had any thoughts of not using the true holder you should've had them come unmounted and/or drilled to the holder you plan on using. That's what I did. It'll prevent the additional holder removal which could cause a slight increase in the rivet hole size, and also ensure the holes are lined up perfectly to the holder you're planning on using. Yes the holes line up more or less but from what I've heard and seen it's not exact. This isn't crucial but since the true skates are known for rivet issues in general, it'll minimize the chances of this happening even more.

That seems runs from the heel all the way to the bottom of the skate... There are no videos showing their process because I'm pretty sure they are keeping it hush hush. I could be wrong but the processes are very different.
-
True skates are built from the last inside out, starting with the liners placed on the last itself and then built all the way out to the trim. From the videos Ive seen for CCM, Even for total custom CCM skates, they use high pressure moulding of a pre made quarter package onto the individual's last, which imo, is just like heat moulding but on steroids. Also, CCM saying their boots are "one piece" is kind of false advertising imo, as you can clearly see the crease/ line on the heel area, similar to the joint on the old "one piece" fused sticks.

If it's the height then use powerfoot inserts. Or move the tongue lower...
-
Did you bake them or no? If not baking them may help alleviate some areas. Even though it's not recommended you can bake them and stand on them (not walk) so your feet expand and it might possibly widen the skates a bit when theyre warm.
-
If they slimmed it down it wouldnt it affect width issues for ppl? The only reason it looks bulky is bc it's longer than other brands as it incorporates the first two eyelets in it otherwise it's fairly the same from the first eyelet on, however the new CCM and Bauer skates have reduced the height of their toe caps recently too

Edited.

Dropped my skate off at my fitter to be shipped back to true. Been liaising with true regarding the toe cap tab and they said it's actually likely they will be replacing the toe cap. So decided to send it off while it's well within the warranty period...
-
Any update?
-
Wow thank you. And a look at the new quick release holders 😁
-
Can you send me or post this video? Also what do u mean by cinch the heel? Using a ratchet clamp?
-
Besides u... Not sure 😁
-
Will they even honour the 90 day guarantee for the ft1 if the ft2 is released? I thought it was only for current models.
-
Yes. But at least with Bauer and CCM you know its two year intervals for specific models. I had a feeling though since it's pretty much two years since the true take over.
-
I knew I should've waited 🤪
-
These yours? If so I thought you were against edge holders.

I live in Canada. In BC to be specific. I don't want to name names but I think you can put two and two together. This store has done vh skates saying way back when vh just started out rolling into retailers. I'd go back in a heart beat if I were to ever get another pair. I'm pretty picky though so I think regardless, I would always re bake at home anyways since I can spend as much time to tinker. Anyways, was on the ice tonight since the rebake and it felt really good. I really can't believe how much more biomechanically sound these skates make me. So much less effort on strides and feel so much more stable. @mc88 I always wanted to know how you found the wick liner on your latest pair (or was it your second pair of vh). I find I sweat a lot as well and the clarino gets a bit slippery for me. I was going to get the wick liner this time around but heard it's not as durable and stayed away. Just wanted to see what your experience was. I might also test out different socks. Something cotton that isn't so smooth like the synthetic stuff that all dri fit is made of.
