I'll come across some sooner or later....someone PM'ed me a link a couple months ago but I accidentally deleted the PM.

I LOVE my S15's and built myself some RH skates using the mag chassis from my old F5 Easton Air Roller Hockey skates and a pair of 6 month old S15's.

I tried just buying the boots separately so there wouldn't be existing holes but the local Easton rep couldn't help (I don't think he even tried) so I bought a new pair for ice and voila~

They weigh 1098 grams / 2lbs. 7 oz. each.

New Rink Rat Hornet 608 wheels and swiss bearings.

I used them once and couldn't get over how light they were. Looking forward to using them tonight.

Hopefully they can stand the wear and tear of roller hockey.

Update - thanks to the magic of Photoshop, I was able to add blue tracers on my laces. After seeing the final result, I will DEFINITELY be getting some.

Also, I have one last trick up my sleeve to make them look "complete." Stay tuned :)

The total price factoring in all of the hardware, tax, shipping, dye - everything was a bit over $825 USD. And that's WITH getting the skates for $500.00. :o

LOL... and here I was thinking that putting some frames on my Vapor XX's would be awesome. I've been throughly outdone of course.

I know what you mean. I posted mine up right before Fletch dropped his bomb. Mine look like a turd compared to those. lol. Nicely done Fletch.

[Fletch 219]

Thanks again guys....my final touches will put them over the top (but in a good way). Just watch :)

anyone remember thoes black laces that had the electric blue ticks in them, if you were super anal you would have to find a pair of thoes to complete the look. either way they look great tho. nice work

Those were Bauer laces, came stock on Supreme Composites and were also sold at retail. They were not waxed.

[Fletch 219]

I think I found some waxed ones....going to call today to confirm.

Hi

This is just a simple yes/no question.

Would there be any problem mounting a pair of CCM Vector 3 SE skates and a CCM vector 4 chassis? I know its not the best set-up but i need fitting skates while i wait for the new CCMs and Missions to be released!

No problems at all.

[Fletch 219]

And....DONE. I added my Bauer Formfit tongues from my Bauer Comps :)

You owe me at least one box of Kleenex.

Hahaha...I hope you were implying it's because of the x-rated meaning because if so, that just made me laugh out loud.

Yep, that was the idea ;) .

Nice....thanks for the laugh. Shoulder surgery yesterday and in pain but that was a bright spot. I read it to my Wife and she said "you guys are nerds." She is ignorant in the ways of the gear whore ;).

[Spreedizzle 1]

In all honesty......it is probably best if she is left in the dark with regards to our collective obsession. ;)

Good luck on an expedited recovery.
