Bauer takes care of me X 2

Recommended Posts

Well after my XXX breaking with 20 HRS on them NBH today to resolve the situation sent me 2 Pair of 8090 8EE ...fit like a glove! They shipped them next day Air. I know the original store they were purchased from had a lot of influence and they may of came from there store but since all the work I had done on them everybody involved felt I have been through enough. I had a blade alignment with new holders, Both skates punched out and found out a week ago the boot was to shallow for me ,Ankles were next to the eyelits...thats why we switched to 8090. I am keeping the LS holders and just moving them over 2.5mm. Also found out todat that not all bauer skates blades are the right profile. the store working on them found that one pair had around a 10.5 radius and the other around 9.5. so they will have to profile them. Figured I would bring this up because maybe some of the skates you guys are skating on is'nt the radius you think.

80-90% of new skates have mismatched radius, so it is not earthshattering news that yours were off.

Hurricane what size where you wearing in your xxx's?

8.5 2E..I actually still have them. My teamate is hurtin' for money so he is going to try to epoxy the boot.But I think if it was that easy NBH would of just repaired them...will see..I hope it works for him.

I PM'ed JR with the details last night.

So length wise you went down a 1/2 size from your xxx's and they were comfortable?

Perfect fit...toe just hits the toe cap. Now that I have the right size, the boot is'nt to deep for me.

And yes they were warranted with Cobras on them. But the store owner had a huge influence on that decision thats why I agreed this time just to move the LS2 over on the 8090's. Because of my medical condition he (store Owner) battled with NBH that I had to use them...(witch could be debated) I sent a doctors note with the instructions for alignment and to use a stiffer holder that could'nt bend. but with both pairs of the 8090's NBH wanted the LS holders to stay on this time...she said if they bend they would replace them, but she did'nt think they would and also said they only bend if they are heated up to high durning the baking...so who knows. She was'nt trying to knock my foot problem but it makes me wonder the kind of pressure the pro's put on these holders???? I paid 100 bucks to the store owner the difference what bauer would give him and in return he would give me 1 pair with no money exchanged or 2 Pair for a extra 100 bucks....so I chose the second pair because playing just once a week I should be set 3-5 years..I hope :P

I also forgot...the store owner paid for the alignment on both pairs :P
