JSchultz 25 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 I'm a 7.5 in shoes and the new size 6.0 Missions are too big for me. I've been sized out of Missions... Whoa, is that possible? What about Junior skates? You know, a pair of 10000 juniors are ALOT cheaper! :lol: I'm almost the same way in tour skates. I found that I just made it into a pair of size 6 tours. could have went junior! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rh_joel 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 I bought a pair of 7500s and had 950's last year. I loved the MG chassis last year and I'm thinking of putting them onto my new skates. How much lighter is the MG chassis than the 6000 series off the 7500? Would it make a noticable difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 1933 134 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 about 50-60g lighter per chassis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick67 1 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 Have a pair of Red Star Alloys, and have been wondering how they compare in weight to the he950 mgChassis and the new MgChassis on the 10000's.What's the lightest chassis out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 1933 134 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 I weighed them last year and ours was lighter than the Alloy...Not by much though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassmasta 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 I would think that this years mission chassis would be the lightest. Because it has less material than last years...and If what Justin says is true (which im sure it is) last years chassis is lighter than the red star alloy chassis.

JSchultz 25 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 Woo! My new 9500's just got in! And a size 7 fits PERFECT. My toes just feather the toecap.They are REALLY stiff. I was surprised how stiff they are up top. I wasn't expecting that at all. They are REALLY light too. My old nike/mission combo is like a ton of bricks compared to these. I love the carbon fiber outsole as well!Strangley though, the website, and every other picture I've seen of the skates shows white laces. Mine shipped with black? Not that I mind, because I've always bought black laces anyways..Justin?Anyways, on the pre-liminary side of things, I have to say these skates look PROMISING. I skate on them tonight and tomorrow night, so I can give a first impression. Go buy Missions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSchultz 25 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 yeah the 9500s do come with black laces Weird. They ought to show them on their site that way too, as I think the black laces make the skate look 10x cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrciv 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 i just got some 7500 new off ebay for like $150 and i must say after a couple skates these r some pretty stiff skates, i like the black laces with the all black boot looks good. my only gripe is that how come the mounting of the chasiss is a little off? i mean 1 skate is mounted so the wheels r right down the middle and the other skate the front is like a quarter off centered. now ive noticed this as well on bauer and ccms. dont they use a template?? or something?? now if mission could just make some leopold curve ops sometime soon???

Hmm.I just checked my 9500's, and the mounting is dead center for both skates. Can you post a pic? For some reason, that sounds odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fury of One 6 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Hey Justin,All I gotta say is that I think you got another convert to your list. I picked up a pair of 7500s and I have to say I'm impressed. Be prepared, though, I'll give ya hell if the chassis breaks, an eyelet or tendon guard rips. J/K :P . Honestly, I think you may have got it right this year.

It's just a matter of time for the products to filter though to us. Frustrating, but that's just the way it goes. Relative to the US and canadian markets ours is pretty small, so the newer lines inevitably take longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't realise you were a dealer. If the distributor refuses to bring in 06 stock because of an 05 backlog, I guess there is more of an issue here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
