Brother Methias 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2006 Just bought a pair, coming from a 10.5 C bauer 4000 with forward's profile, purchased 9.5 C one90s (shoe size 12 !)I skated today for the first time, boots felt a little tight in the sides..I didn't feel turning was as sharp, should i proceed with profiling the skates to match my old 4000s? I'm 6/1 190lb intermediate skater, with making sharp turns a priority should i ask for a 1/2' hollow or even shallower? Since the radius is reportedly 9', i won't be touching that..Also, if things were a bit tight, is it wise to have them rebaked?-BM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2006 there's been some talk about this before, the search button really helps in these situations.Regardless, the LS2Power steel isn't very thick, and you would lose a good deal of steel in reprofiling the skate. The preferred alternative is to have a heel lift installed to the skate. The ONE90 feels like it has more negative pitch than other skates with LS-based holders because it does such a good job of locking your heel in place and holding it there. Good luck.

Bucky25 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2006 On a related note, when I purchased my one90s I was put into a 9EE and I wear a 12 running shoe (11-11.5 dress shoe). It was odd to buy a pair of Bauers and be put in some that "small". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chippa13 1844 Report post Posted December 22, 2006 You should always have the radius done with new skates. If you liked the 9' on your old skates then try that on the new ones, you can always change it if you don't like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you liked the 9' on your old skates then try that on the new ones, you can always change it if you don't like it.The one90 is a 9' radius.how many heat treatments are needed for a new pair breakin on average?Heat-molding and break-in are actually two separate issues. You still need to break them in. I would skate on them for a while... a real rough guide is it takes 10-15 hrs of skating to break in a pair of skates.You're describing them as a little tight. That doesn't sound like you are in a pain hobbling cramping stage, so definitely give them at LEAST a few more skates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
