Thicker ones, or different material maybe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skooled 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Easton made a 6 wheel frame IZ it was called. ran 6 50mm wheels, and depending on your weight, you could run anywhere from 12 to 0 bearings...A goalie should be the best skater on the team.I don't know how well the frame would work with 59mm, or 47mm wheels for that matter.

I think the whole 'the goalie is the best skater on the team' myth is just that, a myth. I've seen a lot of pretty good goalies play out and I've never once thought to myself 'damn, that guy can really skate'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruins4777 1 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 I concur. I'm a goalie and i know several other goalies who are very very poor skaters playing out. I only know one goalie who can play out and his skating isn't ultra lacking, even so his skating stride is rather duck like.Nonetheless, goalies do have to be the best at moving around in their radius and shuffling, but overall skating, no way.

jmiro 55 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 i disagree the outstanding goalies i know might not put some of the best forwards to shame. but they are the most sound and overall better skaters that I have seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick67 1 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 I know a coulpe of pro icehockeygoalies and most of them skate average at best if you put them in the "outfield" but their closing speed backwards is really good.Needless to say they all played on defense.

Sprungster 5 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Not bad. They were being a pain in the butt today. Took me 2 hours just to replace the ones that fell off of the back There are times that my wife has told me to take them up to my office because she's tired of hearing me cuss for 30 minutes over one miss-threaded screw. The rest of them might take 10 minutes and an hour and five nuts and screws for one stinker. Long live mounting machines.More screws and nuts on the way. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted July 21, 2007 Thanks Keith. Yea, I bought a few new ones and replaced some of the old ones, and I got a few in, but there was a lot of language involved. The threading is SO annoying. That's what made it so difficult. Why cant the threads work with no problems? Nah, that's to easy. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Bear 76 Report post Posted July 21, 2007 Well, now that I've posted my 492 Sprungs in the Sprungs thread, I guess I might as well post the other pair of 492s I had Jay Mazer convert for me. Despite the fact that I still have the soft Labeda Millennium wheels on them, they serve their purpose as my outdoor skates quite well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burning Bear 76 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 What size wheels are those?Initially they were the correct size for the Tri-Di chassis (80-76-76-72) but since I'm terribly harsh on my wheels outside, particularly the back ones, they all look like 72mm wheels now. Yes, it looks terrible, but they work just fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
