Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2008 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.Puck view.My little custom touch, ONE90 footbeds.

fatwabbit 93 Report post Posted October 13, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited October 14, 2008 by Aussie Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dalebert 8 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fletch 219 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 I think black laces with white tracers would look good on those skates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bender 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) 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.EDIT: 200th post :P Edited October 21, 2008 by Bender Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makoto 3 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2008 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. Rick Henry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cougarscaptain87 13 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 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......
