    CCM holders seem to be longer in terms of their mount's size Their steel/runner length may be the same but their 263 holders seem cover off more length vs tuuks in 263. Can someone confirm this? My 263 SB holders on my size 7 skates basically have no room at the heel or toe, so putting 272 holders would make the holders stick out at the front. Whereas on my size7 Bauer's there was still some room. @Nicholas G can u dm the shop in Vancouver. I want to avoid this place since I live in Vancouver.

    Did you get to handle the retail as1 or ft1? Even though the as1 are supposed to be the stiffest of the CCM line, they weren't as stuff as my trues. The trues are rock hard. The only part on the boot that flexed a bit were the facings. The as1s I have u can flex the quarter package a bit if you squeezed with both hands hard enough. I'd imagine this flex would increase even more as time went by.

    Personally don't think it would be that hard. Email them. They do all kinds of repairs etc after the fact. The only thing that would be an issue at this point is the cost.

    Imo trues will Outlast the ccms. I've been told by the manager of my lhs that Bauers are way more durable than CCM. He told me the ccms don't even last a full year for minor hockey players but Bauer does. But trues are built like tanks. I've owned both CCM as1 and true and I can tell by holding it in my hand and inspecting the materials that true will last way longer, however I am also aware of the increased fit issues arising as of late.... durability apparently was addressed in the ft2 so we will see what happens. For me I play once a week only so any skate should last me at least 3 years.

    I don't know why CCM just doesn't use their brass eyelets on all the holes. The edge of one eyelet has a small piece that crumbled off. And I'm pretty sure it came from factory that way since it had no other damage or dents. Even after a heat mold the stamped eyelets by the forefoot have some space between it and the facing bc of how the facing curved down and wrapped my foot from the bake. I don't think it'll cause me issues bc I don't tie my skates very tight due to the wrap and stiffness of the as1. But just kind of silly that they wouldn't include top end materials for a top end skate.

    Also why does it even matter. Every athlete or human being will endorse a company given the right $$. Especially if it's something they already use. Heck I'd endorse CCM.bauer or warrior etc even for three free gear alone. Back on topic...

    Take the tongue out and unlace completely. It either has grey inserts which can be pulled off as it's only taped on. Or if it's only red Eva foam you may need to chisel it off. The red Eva foam is only about 1-2 mm though so not sure if it'll make a tonne of difference for your son.

    I was surprised I never had issues putting them on and taking them off other than making sure the top two laces were undone and laces had slack. Never had to turn my foot sideways. My feet were always locked in too. I guess I'm lucky with how my feet are proportioned.

    I find visors for the most part do the opposite and pull the sides out. But the old rbe probably is more narrow and is thicker than the more expensive visors so that may be why. I'd caution this , but you could try a heat gun and slowly widen the visor ? Or An alternative is to trim the padding around the temples?

    Graphics. He didn't even wear then. He posed for s picture. Go on his Instagram and you will see it.

    With the skate baked and the facing moulded you won't have to "crank" on the laces as the eyelets will be positioned nearly in the same spot as when u lace them up (if you bake them and if the facing on those Bauer's are heat mouldable).

    Was it from an accident or was this pretty much from birth?

    Everything and everyone is racist these days. Haven't you heard?
  14. Sniper9
    Crazy. Is this for leg length discrepancies

    It's just weird how the finish can vary so drastically from one boot to another. My trues we're more or less flawless. Carbon was even with all the weaves uniform. The gloss on the finish was uniform and didn't have matte spots like the ones do now. And very minimal residual glue. Even the stitching was straight which from what I saw was a rarity. Only thing for mine were the one skate had the vent holes on the bottom of the boot drilled in by someone cross eyed lol. Which I didn't care about bc no one sees that.
  16. Sniper9
    Those who argue the sloppiness of the finish of trues, do you really think it's acceptable? I can understand whether you personally care or not. But do you really think any company charging 1000 bucks for anything should overlook the details that true has... And this is on top of the complaints in fit etc as well. I've seen trues products in their sticks and protective gear and the finish is overall very good. So why is this level of QC overlooked with the skates?
  17. Sniper9
    For me, personally, as long as it doesn't affect the integrity of the skate I don't really care but as a company producing a brand new item (not refurb etc), I just don't understand why they don't think esthetics is important, bc the reality is that it is to the majority of people out there.
  18. Sniper9
    Ya but you'd think there's a level of pride in the way something looks. It's like saying it doesn't matter if you buy a brand new car with orange peel scuffs etc bc it won't affect it's performance.
  19. Sniper9
    How does this pass qc ?? I've noticed that since they changed their carbon fiber weave, there have been way more substandard cf finish... Seems like the pitting in the cf coating is on every single skate that comes out of the factory.

    I personally don't know the specific back story of the Indians logo. I got it because as a kid I liked the logo and it grabbed my attention. If you want to compare me to a nazi for liking a cartoon logo bc I grew up watching the Indians, then go ahead. Everyone these days gets butt hurt over everything anyways.
  21. Sniper9
    Not saying he doesn't make a good point but the Indians logo is a classic one. Maybe I used the wrong term in saying iconic. What I meant was classic. I agree it is racist but for everyone who grew up with the Indians using that logo, it'll always be how we remember the team as, whether it's a good thing or bad thing.
  22. Sniper9
    K den.
  23. Sniper9
    Doesn't really help learning In a Pair that doesnt fit...
  24. Sniper9
    I grabbed a hat last year bc I heard this was coming. I always liked the Indians logo. Yes racist. But also iconic.
  25. Sniper9
    Or you could go custom skate route....
