Sprungster 5 Report post Posted September 11, 2008 These A8 raptors were done by one of our German MSH members (he can do them for you too, but they have to get there and back). I mounted them on the 10.5 221's and did as they asked. They come with a cage.I got inline boots to convert, cause I just couldn't face cutting off another set of ice holders. They even came with ten wheels, so I'm way ahead. A little tall, but very agile and dexterous. We could make lowboy rocker arms that would bring them down to reg goalie height. These are 10s with A8's which are actually shorter than the large Tuuk wheelbase. Quite a bit lighter too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sevenfifty 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) I picked up 3 sets of Final Factor frames new in box for $10 each. I mounted one on my Flite boot and one on a pair of CCM 752's.There were no axles for the frames so I re-tapped them to accept 7mm threads and used Luigino speed skate axles.
