lemioux12 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) i was really asking about wheel configuration as in sizes of wheels and order .. i don't even know what's the configuration of the chassis i will get .. from the pics some are Tuuk rockers ( what's that back > 72-80-76-76 >front ? no clue) , then some str8 chassis i guess i'd try to run a B-76-80-80-76F ..will that work ? and some mission hi-lo looks like B72-76-72-76F .. you can see that i searched quite a bit as i know nothing about the inline hockey skates and setup :PThanks guys !as far as wheel brands ..i'll just go with what i can afford - some 80-82 outdoor wheels ..

If so, was it to avoid cutting channels out of the bottom of your boots for wheel clearance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
numberthirteen 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 looks like just a fast and easy way to have a scuff gaurdGood point but I make invisible scuff guards out of glue.When was the last time you scuffed the heel of the boot?When I playing in the ISHF Euro Cup in Germany it seemed like more of a fashion thing... People had them on low-end roller boots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rebel96 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2009 What kind of glue do you use? Do you shape it or just put a good sized glob of glue on there? Probably gonna be doing an ice to inline conversion myself in the next few weeks and this sounds like a good idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just need to cut about an inch out of the sole to clear the 2nd wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darshu 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2009 my LHS doesnt want to cut it for the "integrity" of the boot-Should I just tell him to do it??Almost everyone I know that runs a Hummer chassis on Vapor boots (pretty common combo) has just dremmeled out enough of the composite outsole to clear the second wheel. None of them have had a problem as a result that I've seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScottMan 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Okay good to know. I'm trying to decide whether to use the Red Star or the Mission that _HSB_b345t graciously sent me (thanks again!). Here's a pic of that one. What do you guys think based on size. Wheels are just props to gauge scale. Edited August 10, 2009 by ScottMan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rebel96 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2009 They both look fine but, if you ask me, the red star looks like it's a more appropriate size. Personal preference really as to how much you like the wheels sticking out either end. From the first pic it looks like the frame doesn't quite line up with the outsole profile of the boot.... but it's most likely that the outsole will conform to to the frame as it's mounted.
