TUUK Rocker Chassis differences

[ambro 0]

What is the difference between the different types of Rocker Chassis?

1) All-Aluminum Rocker

2) Aluminum w/ Comp Midsection Rocker

3) All-Comp Rocker

4) Shock Rocker (http://hockey.philbricks.net/browse.cfm/4,5145.htm)

I'm mainly interested in the Shock Rocker because it's so cheap. Anyone with some insight on this would be great. Thanks

Maybe not quite what you were looking for, but I'll post anyway. I've tried a rocker chassis before (sorry, forgot which one, but it was similar to #4 above). Anyway, I didn't really like it...I dunno, felt off for some reason. Yeah, I know that it is SUPPOSED to feel like ice skates, but to me it didn't. I like the hi/lo configuration much better, then only recently began my affair with the sprung chassis.

But that was just me. It's probably just personal preference. And for $10 + s/h, it probably wouldn't hurt to try the last pair you have listed there.

Just my $0.02

I mounted two sets of the Philbricks TUUK rocker chassis, what I mean by Philbricks is the blue metal frame with plastic rocker section they sell for $10.00. I mounted one on a set of CCM 325 Tacks for my 11 year old son for Christmas and I put another set on a pair of CCM 4.5 Edge skates I have had in a box for a while for me. He has tried his and likes them but I have not tried mine. The frame appears to be built pretty well but I go about 240 pounds so I don't know how it will hold up for me. If I had known that Hockey Giant was going to offer the Sherwood E-Frame for $4.99 I would not have mounted the TUUK chassis for myself but my boy loves the blue color of the TUUK.

The frame does look pretty cool I'm just a little concerned about how well it will hold up and I know the E-Frame holds up well and you can buy 2 of them at Hockey Giant for the price of the TUUK rocker.
