AtlantaThrashers01 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 I was wondering if changing the steel on ur skates has any damaging effects? ive got grafs and its really easy to change the blades and i want to change the blades specifically for outdoors and indoors. will the bolts get too worn out?

jimmy 194 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 You can change your steel as often as you like with no problems. Graf has decent hardware. Do NOT overtighten or the nut will split. Bauer hardware sucks. Buy a spare set of Bauer hardware. CCM and Easton and Mission hardware is great, no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Help If you cut on that line you see through the pain, you'll be in the foam. You gotta cut about 3" over that line (the length of a hosel on a Tapper RB), so you're in the empty part.

It's so much easier than on custom+, but still a pain compared to Mission or CCM. For some reason it seems like the Eastons are always cross threaded.
