Tour hummer chassis etc

[JBP 18]

Just was checking out Tours website and they are offering to retro fit skates with the hummer chassis fusion whhels etc for $98.00us + $10.00 shipping?

that is a steal, i got a pair of Vapor XX i believe will soon be outfitted with hum'mrs.

seriously this is an amazing deal, i am not passing this up.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Will a humm'er fit on a pair of flexlites?

what is the fuzbn wheels like?

[Eazy_b97 1]

Retro-fit? Does this mean any pair of skates, or just old Tours like the fishbones and 962's?

[Fury of One 6]

Sounds like any skate. There's a downloadable form on the site and the total charge is $108.

Link to the form.

That form appears to be for employees only...you need to work in a shop to get that deal.

[Fury of One 6]

I think they're playin' off the auto industry's employee discount craze.

I might do this with my D1s just for the hell of it.

anyone find out how they deal with the bottom plate of the boot? Do they sand out a rut inthe bottom or do they put shims in to prevent the second wheel from hittin the sole plate??

This is an awesome deal. I would jump on it in a second but my 950's are still brand new, and i don't see it practical to swap out such a great chassis.

I talked to Brad at Tour hockey and he told me that any modifcations to the boot will be done at the shop and that it will take on average 1 to 2 days for the mounting process. I will be sending my 8090's out next week.

OT question....but if We were to mount this frame & hypotheically put 78mm wheels on instead of the the typical all 80 setup alot of guys might avoid some problems....?

[RLH 0]

MIGHTYJOHN it should work but I'm not sure if the height difference between the 78 and 80 is enough to clear the boot. The front wheel should clear, but the second one will be close. The mounting point on a hummer frame for the front is higher in the front than at the second wheel position. I think the best thing you can do is to call tour and talk to them. They should be able to tell you if the 78mm wheel will clear.

Is there a # to call them....?

[kovalchuk71 212]

So do I use that form on the website? when is the promo over?

[Eazy_b97 1]

October 31st I think it said on the Flyer

Anyone know anything about the wheels? I've never heard of them before. Is this their top of the line chassis?

[shute 4]

i don't know if there is any difference in terms of weight but this years hum'er cateye chassis that they are using on their code1's is difference then the hum'er that they are offering which came with their beemer and blue max models. if you look real close you'll see that the back of the chassis is missing an extra bar so i would think that it'll be lighter. looks like they are trying to clear out of extra stock from last year or something... looks like a great deal but i'm not to sure about the wheels... if they are good outdoor wheels then i can live with it but if they are crappy indoor wheels then i'll be screwed with a useless set of wheels. doesn't look like they are good indoor wheels from the looks of the hub.

Don't forget you also get ABEC 7 bearings. It seems like they'll take off the old chasis or holders on put on the Hummers? I hope they send back the old holders from ice skates.

ive seen these wheels at nationals... alot of the Pama Cyclone players were using them, alot of labeda warriors kids were using them. Im assuming its the model under the genesis.. could be wrong. its def not a outdoor wheel

[kovalchuk71 212]

What worries me is you may not end up with a labeda hummer PRO chassis, and maybe a lower end one

[duckjob 1]

When you download the form, it says the chassis is 100% extrusion. I believe only the hummer pro is completely extruded, i believe the cheaper frames are seperate pieces welded together.

[kovalchuk71 212]

that makes me feel better thanks :)

um....if you put 78's on it, the difference of radius would be 1 mm, not 2. In other words, probably not enough.

besides, putting 78's on the chassis would ruin the whole point of having it in the first place (4 80mm on the floor's the point)...you'd end up on the 1st and 3rd wheels when leaning forward, and 3rd and 4th while leaning back

Ok sure.... ;)
