killthepoodle 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 Took a shot off the runner last night and broke the steel straight through. They are 8d's w/ 272 Lightspeeds on them. My question is this:Does anyone have any recommendations of a shop who won't take me apart on shipping and will do a nice sharpening job on them before shipping them?The second one is:The back (bolt) half of the steel camer out nice and easy, but the front half is being a real bitch to come out....does this indicate a warped holder?Thanks!

killthepoodle 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 My rink pro shop didn't have what I need in stock and quoted me 10 business days to ship. The next closest LHS's are 1, 2.5, 3, and 5 hours away (Florida). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pantherfan 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 I reccomend you go down to the Tuuk Custom+ holder apart from slight pitch difference i couldn't tell anything different and when you put that many holes in a blade and/or holder it doesn't make it stronger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
