    Tomas Holmstrom would wear those proudly JR!

    You should be able to mount the chassis on the boot and then dremmel out some space for the wheel to spin on the outsole. I've mounted the Hummer chassis on multiple boots with a composite outsole and every time I had to dremmel out a spot for the second wheel. The integrity of the outsole was never compromised when I did this and all of the skates held up fine.

    2 things, 1. I think that chassis is too small for those skates. 2. if you are going to use that chassis, yes it looks to be mounted too far forward.

    Got the wife a Forester a month back as our Baby Transportation mobile...that thing is a tank in the snow! Contemplating getting an older model Subaru and trading in my jeep.

    My 13 year old self just lost his mind seeing this. Great pick up!

    Not really all that impressed here, what is so innovative about tabs that change a little bit of color on your skates & gloves? If anything Mission should bring back their concept from the '714' glove where you can replace the cuff roll, that had customization potential written all over it and they scrapped that glove after 1 year. And why doesn't Mission use the Kryptonium chassis on the DS1 skates?

    Hey Justin, If the recessed chassis set up on the RPD Max makes such a difference, does it make sense for me to take the chassis off my CA9 RPD and put on a Tour chassis and dremmel out the sole for the recessed wheel?

    Just as a point of reference, I wear a 7.5 in a Bauer APX and had to go to an 8 in the CA9 RPD.

    When I baked my CA9 RPD (Thanks again Justin, where are my test pair of RPD Max? ), I took the foot beds out and also during the baking I stood up as well. The CA9 RPD was the first skate I'd ever heard of where you stand during the backing process, but standing up made such a huge difference in the fit of the skate. Pretty sure you can bake a pair of skates twice so if you can find another spot to bake them you can give standing up a try. Just be careful, stand up slow, and you'll feel the boot conform more to your foot. As for shops on the Island, when I grew up there Cozzi's at Newbridge was my preferred spot for sharpening and the like. These days not sure who has the market cornered but a buddy of mine does run the shop out of Superior so if you head there ask for Rob.

    Zwitter, those missions are amazing.

    Krev do you use short hosel Tapered blades with those or do you have a stash of Long Hosel Old School tapered blades to use?

    A little show & Tell from the Bruins sale: Reebok Winter Classic Shell size XL (#26 is written on the size tag so maybe earmarked for Blake Wheeler?) -Easton Winter Classic Shell size L (shell w/ high hip padding & leg zippers too) -Warrior Projekt Elbow pads -Chris Bourque Warrior Luxe gloves (practically brand new, maybe used once or twice) -Dougie Hamilton Warrior Luxe gloves (insanely good condition) -Bauer Visor (Not pictured, but 49 marked on it for Rich Peverly)

    The original Mako Tapered shaft has the closest grip to the old clear coat from the Gold Easton Synergy days. Easton went nuts with the Mako II shaft on the grip version, but luckily I don't mind it. And Mack, if those 'Metal Matrix' Hull Z-Bubbles go up for adoption, please hit me up. I have a good home & an Easton Hull Composite blade just waiting for one. And I love how you threw in 'Metal Matrix', what year is it, 2001 & we're still on the Easton Message board or corebeam?

    small pick up from the Worcester Sharks sale: RBK Shins, CCM Bucket w/ Visor, Nike Bauer One90 Elbows, 9K Pant Shell & CCM mitts.
  16. the_game
    should be fixed, thats what I get for trying to post on my iPhone.

    Bridgeport haul.

    You'll be fine with that outsole mounting a chassis on it.

    Not sure if you're still interested but I have the Original Mako Tapered Shaft & the Mako II Tapered shaft, both in 85 Flex and feel like the Mako II plays slightly stiffer than the OG Mako. Personally I prefer the OG Mako Shaft over the Mako II.
  20. the_game
    I'm taking that T-Flex to my grave.

    Next you're going to tell me driving with my new gloves on is not the proper way to break them in.
  22. the_game
    Pretty productive week of gear whorin' if I might say so myself. Mid-90's Graphite T-Flex shaft, that for an almost 20 year old shaft still performs pretty darn well. Then some Bonafide X Warriors and BlackHawks-esque Franchise pants.

    There was no Urgent Care opened at 10 PM after my game, so ER it was Chippa. Plus I really went for the cut inside my mouth that I thought needed stitches & not so much the cut on my lip. Monty, the Stitches were taken out by 'Dr. ME' My new vent...getting used to playing with a full shield & getting chirped b/c I'm wearing a 'Fish Bowl'.
  24. the_game
    4 hour Emergency room visit, $100 Co-Pay, & 3 stitches in my lip b/c some clown in Men's league can't keep his stick down. And I'll still have to make time & pay to get the stitches taken out. Guess its time to go back to a cage.

    A friend with good connections came through on those blades. They are right handed as well, unfortunately for you I am a hoarder so they'll never be for sale.
