    I remember the CO2 gun & cartridge that came with those, never used it but yea those skates were super comfy.

    Very similar tongue except mine has no added ‘protection’ or whatever T guard that is.

    The Vapor line glove is their 'homage' to the Techniflex glove. I remember when the X60's first came out talking to a Bauer Rep who was saying the X60 took a lot of inspiration from the TF gloves.

    So I had/have the same issue and asked this question as well about the TF9. The eyelets seem to be so far back that once your foot is in you barely have any access to get your laces through. I didn't end up reheating anything as the fit was so damn good that was the last thing I wanted to mess with. I did swap out the retail tongue to True's Traditional felt tongue which did give me more access to get the skates laced up. I had planned on swapping the tongue anyways since I'm really not a fan of anything but a traditional felt tongue. But ultimately what I did end up doing is lacing my skate up entirely before putting my foot in. Might sound stupid/weird but I did do it with my first pair of Custom Trues, I practiced a lot at home getting my foot into the skate and I can actually put my skate on with that slight twist/off angle approach with them fully laced up now. Also another thing I think that helps, not sure what you use for socks, but I use some of the Bauer skate socks and whatever the material is it's very thin and doesn't give any resistance when you're trying to slide your foot in.

    Give me a pair of nylon TF1000 with upgraded padding from today's gloves and split fingers and I'd be a happy camper!

    Different graphics!!! But yea probably tweaked the fit ever so slightly, changed some random material in a place or two, the curves in the 'airflow' or vents was altered by a degree...honestly at this point what can they really improve on?

    War Machine? Ok then...quite the design.

    Looks like Micronash Ice to me.

    The tacks have a very high heel with a forward pitch and those Sure Grips are probably as flat as they come being from back in the 90's. I'd say if anything you're going to want to put some sort of shim in place before mounting. If you try to mount right to the boot you might distort the chassis. Not sure if you're on instagram but if you are check out @TheSharpShack, they recently mounted a Hummr frame on Super Tacks and you can see what he did. He's also very responsive if you have any questions.

    I’ve been cutting my loops since forever. Never had any major issues in terms of protection. every now and again your bottom hand thumb can be exposed to a slash or another players stick riding up. Again nothing major, kinda feels like missing with a hammer and hitting your thumb. There’s an inherent risk with hockey in general. I’ll take my chances with some thumb loops cut amongst all the other risks.

    Absolutely love it when you see pro's who are legit gear whores trying to track down stuff they want on Modsquad. Good luck this season @MCornell!

    Best looking skate i’ve seen in a loooooong time. Also looks like a one piece boot, Bauer’s answer to True?

    those 2S are gorgeous.

    More validation that I made a wise choice stocking up on Made In Canada Warrior mitts.

    I'd recommend trying the Quad Zero Profile if you can. When I went from Vapors with a Quad Zero to True's with a Quad Zero the profile was much more noticeable on the True's in a good way.

    this one hits home...we lost Ozone... If you don't know who that is you need to go watch the quintessential 80's breakdancing movies Breakin' & its sequel Breeakin' 2: Electric Bugaloo RIP Adolfo 'shabbadoo' quinones

    True Project X sticks look like the Easton RS Stealth, swapped yellow for green.

    I went down the holder size in the retail true, from 7.5 custom true with 272 to retail tf9 size 7 with a 263 and I will be swapping them out for 272 holders, just couldn’t get 100% comfortable on them. I’ve been putting inline chassis on ice boots since the 90’s, I think putting a larger holder on the trues won’t be an issue when drilling new holes. Just find a reputable shop who knows what they’re doing and you’ll be fine. If you’re worried about any of the ‘old’ holes maybe ask the shop where you’re having the holders swapped to use some epoxy to fill them. Also make sure you ask that the shop is using the correct size rivets for the true’s. I remember reading in the other True thread that True uses a different rivet size to bite into the outsole. I forget what size that rivet needs to be maybe@JR Boucicaut can remind me.
