My current pair of Trues I had the SB holders put on right away. I only had the true holders on for about a couple mths for my first pair of Trues back in 2017. I honestly didn't have any issues with the true holders performance wise. The only reason I went to SB this time was bc I just bought brand new step blacksteel for my as1s and didn't want to waste them. It didn't make sense to have them collect dust and spend another 140+ cdn on blacksteel for the true holders which were special order with a wait time of about a month.
-
When the holder was first released to the GP step was available for sure. There were even pro stock ones available on sideline before the release date with step. I remember checking around that time and tydan was also available.
-
I personally found the as1 boots to be more forward pitched than the Trues, but can't comment on the ft1. I had the SB holders put on my trues with same quad zero profile and felt more on my heels than with the as1. If you don't need a quick release holder then just stick with what you liked, ie SB or Graf cobra. Just remember if you choose anything after market, be sure that your fitter advises true to drill holes specifically for the holder you choose and to have your skates delivered unmounted (since you can't get boot only anymore).
-
Not sure where you got this from but both tydan and step makes steel for the XS holder.
-
They are called thera bands. Pretty much thin pieces of latex. Amazon has them for sure.
-
Will the hardware really deform the eyelet? I ordered a set of lace locks from eBay for my trues and was planning on putting them on with visor hardware but now I'm hesitant because I don't want to potential damage the eyelets...

I have the warrior qre
-
Looks good. My next pants will def be a girdle shell system. Would sizing be the same as regular pants? I wear a small warrior and thinking a small girdle would be alot smaller and fit closer, thus needing a medium for a girdle... Anyone have any experience with sizing.

The Eyelet Controversy: A Biomechanical Perspective
Sniper9 replied to VegasHockey's topic in General Hockey Discussions
Some players look small on TV when playing due to a number of factors, how upright or bent over they are, the size of their teammates etc. RNH ways looked small to me but isn't. -
I wasn't a huge fan on how tall the step steel was on the original holders but the ones for the shift seem like they are similar in height to the ls2 steel which I found too short which would lose a lot after even one profile.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't having a holder that is symmetrical... Wouldn't it be impossible to have the holders centred? The pic you posted the holder looks too far over on the front tower.. and I'm assuming it would be the same but far over to the opposite side on the other skate.. EDIT: Actually looking at it the blade itself looks centred and is fine. The front tower plate looks like it's less wide vs tuuks etc. Is it? Seems like to accommodate being able to centre the blade on the boot without having the mounts stick out the side of the boot.
-
They will send it out to you without holders attached and drilled to whatever holder you want, or without holes at all. But you have to pay for the true holders and they will send those to you too. That's what they did for me. Predrill for that SB 4.0s and the holders came un mounted.
-
Disregard
-
Are u able to post a pic of how the symmetrical holder looks. I can't picture it in my head how it can mount on both sides while maintaining a straight blade when the shape of the boot is different for left and right...
-
Another benefit is that's the holders are symmetrical no left or right. But for the every day rec player the quick release isnt that beneficial in general.
-
I've done the opposite with heat gunning to create more of an arch on my old pairs. I'm assuming you can do the same to flatten. Or the red insole cut our technique if you're using both red and blue footbeds together.
-
I recently did the same. For some reason they put one plug in my left (which wasn't done on my first pair of Trues two years back) and two plugs on the right (which only had one on my old Trues). It was more than brushing even though my toes would pull away during skating but it felt a bit too much. Ended up just removing the one on the left and leaving just one on the right and they both just brush now. My skates are the same size as my first pair so not sure why they decided to add one extra plug on each skate...
-
So July 15 has come and gone and no video showing the new holder and how it works....
-
Is the foam red or grey. If it's grey you can just pull it out. Even the red I don't think you need a Dremel. Can you post a pic or the size on the tongue? Never seen or heard of them putting the size on the tongue. Especially bc they are one size fits all.
-
The tongue or the footbed said 7? If you want more room, most trues have at least a thin piece of foam on the end of the toe box. But they are supposed to brush. As long as they pull away when you're in ur lunge stance you're fine.
-
Hmmm from the pics. I think I'll stick to warrior lids for now...
-
I would imagine it's an easy mod to put on. It was always Velcro though just a different way to secure the Velcro strip that attached to the tongue.
-
No not yet. Thought it would be quicker on here since
-
About my broken tab? Well I got my skate back and they pretty much just redid what I initially did by epoxying the Velcro to the underside of the toe box. Which was a waste of time if you ask me. Almost 4 weeks without the skate to have them do what I already did.... Four weeks for something that takes ten mins to do and a 24 hr cure at most What made it worse was when they told me it was likely the toe cap would be replaced, and my fitter removed the holder in anticipation of that. So now I have to go back to my fitter to have the holder reinstalled. I'm only inquiring about the bolt system bc I actually like it better and seems like a better solution long term. I'll leave the epoxy until it ( if it) ever starts to fail.
