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.
-
Anyone know what type of nut is on the underside of this. Is it just a t nut like the ones on our helmets? Also, is the thread the same?
-
I don't think any helmet out there will look "right" on his melon.
-
I wonder if you get to choose post July 15th... Or if they completely stopped producing the original
-
My buddy used the same two piece setup and went through two true blades, one broke on his first game and the other four games in. Definitely a manufacturing flaw. He uses Bauer now with no issues. On the topic of snugness. I also use the tape method but also do this; When you heat both the shaft and the blade they both expand. When u put the blade in a lot of excess glue is removed and when the stick and blade cools it'll leave some gaps. But if you heat only the shaft and allow the heat of the shaft to melt the glue on the hosel as you insert it, it won't take as much glue away since the hosel isn't expanded as well. Since the shaft is the only thing cooling and the hosel stays the same size, the shaft almost hugs the hosel as it cools.. alternatively, you can heat the shaft and use a lighter to heat only the glue on the hosel without actually heating the entire hosel area. Hope that made sense.

With their old steel it would literally Outlast the skates.....
-
Three weeks and counting.. Still haven't gotten my skates back 🙄
-
Also, their steel for the original holder was ridiculously tall. And it's quite a bit of weight that can be taken off just by reducing the steel a bit.
-
From pictures I've seen step is making the steel for the new holders. Below is the ig acct for pro skate corner. Some pics of the new tongue. Theres more pics floating out there on IG.
-
Looks the same to me. Carbon fibre with resin.
-
You mean the holder? Only thing that looks kind of similar is the design around the vents of the holder seems similar to the xs/SB 4.0
-
Looks like the release system might be the blue part pushing in from side to side to lock/unlock?
-
Do you know if the new carbon is already being used or is it specifically starting on orders mid July onwards (when they release the actual new features publicly).
-
Ya I got a reply. Shipping out tomorrow. Kind of disappointed when the guy said he believed the same toe cap was kept. Only reason I sent it out was bc they initially said they'd likely have to change it. I'm interested to see how they "fixed" it.
-
Two weeks and still haven't received my skates back from repair... Emailed a few days ago and no reply. Getting a bit impatient now seeing I've only had these skates for a month and have only been able to use them for two ice times. By next week it will be the same amount of time it took to have my skates made in the first place.
