Nah, just the look.

Is that the same holder on Mikey Mo's skates?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Yes, ICMs...he's been wearing them forever.

I never heard of ICM before yesterdays...what is ICM exactly??

[djinferno 2]

fake/custom to look like synergys

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

The ICM holder is a molded carbon steel holder. It is solid and stronger than most other holders.

Looks like a bauer tongue on those skates

it is possible to put a felt tongue on them, cammalerie has a bauer tongue on his synergys with light speeds

sorry double post!

To me the toe caps don't look like the carbon toe caps of the synergy skate 1300! However you cant 100% tell from that pic if they are regular synergy 1300, a new 06 synergy prototype, or a custom make up of another skate (made to look like a synergy skate). Also kinda weird that Jr is wearing a reebok lid, I thought that JR if anybody would be reping the new easton helmet! I guess it could be to soon or they could be taking some ideas from the reebok helmet, or he may just like that helmet!

yeah he may just like the comfort of the helmet and visual appearance

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

I don't think there's a new helmet on the horizon...spoke to someone at Easton...he didn't think so.

That skate can't be a SyNergy prototype - it's not an one-piece boot.

does that mean the ICM is made of carbon??...without asking too much question...which compagny make ICM?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Bauer.

The ICM cones are plastic, the steel is carbon steel like you get on lower end skates - so no fancy carbon fibre cones like the old Eastons, if that's what you were asking.

that what i was asking!!! lol...but why carbon steel..isnt suppose to be cheap,bad??

Carbon steel holds an edge better than stainless, but rusts very easily so they need more care.

The professional chefs' knives are carbon steel.

I have ICMs on my 8090s. Love 'em.

Stainless steel is harder than carbon steel and actually, stainless will hold the edge longer. The softer carbon does get a "sharper" edge than stainless but will not hold the edge as long as stainless because the carbon steel IS softer.

ICM also offered a stainless steel runner in their product line.

What is the pitch of the holder compared to custom +, JR Boucicaut. ;)

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

More forward - the back is taller.

Yeah, you can clearly see the TPR outsole... man, TPR, ICMs, felt tongue... sound like my dream custom 8090s!

Whoops, got that backward. I came on to correct it, but DarkStar50 did that already...
