AtlantaThrashers01 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2005 Hey i was just wondering if lightspeeds would fit onto any skates (grafs) and was wondering where i could get a size chart for the lightspeeds. Also are they better or wors then corba nt3000's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blues_91 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2005 I liked them better than my Cobras, they keep an edge longer. One blade did snap,but the other is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockechamp14 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2005 do you guys kno which is lighter?im thinkin LS are.....i snapped one of my blades from my cobra, i think i hit the post wit my blade and it literally cracked in half.A piece of my LS broke on my V-12's and this is the second time I've had a problem with lightspeeds. I would stay with the cobras unnless you can't stand them for some reason. The lightspeeds are a good deal lighter than the cobras though.The second problem I had was the steel getting loose, and since I tried to loosen it before tightening the blade (the screw adjustment) the holder expanded and I ended up with some problems on that...As for now, can anyone tell me how long my LS will last me if they broke in the spot where I put the red marker in the picture. They completely snapped there and it is now uneven. Thanks.http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/843606/brokentuuk.JPG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My perf steel runners got worn down and then when I got solid steel, they started to come loose, and my problems with my lightspeeds came when I had to tighten them myself when the steel fell out during the middle of a tryout...
