Difference between holders

[DLIGHTNING 0]

Is there a difference between the 2 ? I have one of each on my 8090's and I am debating if I should have Ls2 on both ?

LS2 steel on both

Does it have the plastic indents above the blade or without...If without your fine.

The holder is the same. The first version of LS had ridges on the holder by the steel...but it was a pain for sharpeners to hone the skate. Steve Latin of the Penguins sliced his hand real nasty on it.

They changed it and made it flush.

The differences are the steel quality and the screw. The LS2 bolt is basically a regular Tuuk bolt on steroids. Much easier to deal with.

I was told that the holder with the indents was junk??LS1?? And that the Ls2 holder was stronger.

Also I had 1 pair of 8090 with Ls2 holders and steel that said Ls2 on the holders and steel and another pair that said Ls2 on the steel and not on the holder. Just Lightspeed in gray.

I explained it best.

The reason why you had 8090 with LS1 holder and LS2 steel is because stores swapped out the steel.

Less plastic ,less strength... Makes sense. :P

The bolt on the LS1 is bulging out the side , should I change the holder or just the bolt ?

I'd pitch the holder. When it's stretched there's no turning back.

Will do tonight, The steel in the new holder still seems loose ? I am affraid to tighten it too much, is it possible that my LHS has used the old screw from my LS1 holder ?
