I might get this done with a pair of vector 8's when i can skate again. Thats if i can get the money together first though.

So I've finally converted one of my favourite boots of all time. What a difference it makes switching from the XR to the XX. I can feel the difference in weight and support. Skated two games out with them on Sunday and they were great. I maybe converting some more Aussies to the Sprung trend as well.

Special thanks to Rhys for the mount job.

PS: Luke, Matt; can't wait to kick these out at Silver Cup.

The boots are worn, but still fly as good as the day they left the Canadian factory.

My little custom touch, ONE90 footbeds.

Hey Aussie, how much does the mount job cost in Melbourne? They dont really do it here in perth, and if they do they use countersunk screws.

[Aussie Joe 0]

Not that much, 30-50 bucks depending on the job/time required. Its worth it as Rhys is very good at what he does.

In saying all that my next pair will no doubt be a brand new pair of skates, sent to Keith for a mount of new Sprungs. Thats probably a good year off.

Those U+ seem to have the old style eyelets arrangement. Not quite as steep; you know what I mean? Killer looking jets too!

Glad you liked them Joe, anytime mate!

just got these done over the weekend . nobody wanted to buy them so i made myself a new pair of skates

[dalebert 8]

Good thing you did, they look sick! I'd maybe go with a black or white lace, but it's your skate. Hope they work out for you!

[Aussie Joe 0]

Yeaaah, yellow laces are for homos. ;)

[Fletch 219]

I think black laces with white tracers would look good on those skates.

I think black laces with white tracers would look good on those skates.

IMO, Black laces look good on all skates ;)

Definatly good looking skates though sowman, they must be pretty darn light.

I've always liked the XXXX's. Nice set up.

Agreed

I apologize if this is a bit off topic...I'm looking to mount a set of Labeda Hummers on some CCM 992 Super Tacks.

Does anyone know if the dremel'ing process needs to be done prior to mounting the chassis, or if it can be done sufficiently after the chassis is mounted?

Second, does anyone have a shop that they recommend for taking off an ice blade holder and mounting chassis in the Los Angeles/Orange County area?

[Rick 0]

The boot is just sitting on the chassis but this is going to be my new set-up but with an A-8 Sprung frame.

oh man rick, you run out of tacks? i always counted on you to bring the most tack/sprung set ups on the website and now youve steped into 2008? haha just messing with you, thoes look solid.

[Rick 0]

I still have the Tacks for sure. Everything I have converted to Sprungs I did with T-Nuts and bolts so I can take the chassis off and put it on something else then put it back on whenever I want. I have like 4 sets of skates with the T-Nuts still in place and no chassis so all I have to do is switch the Sprungs from one boot to another. Still gotta love those Tacks......

After much flip flopping, I had these mounted over the weekend...
