rbk 7k question

[wc19 1]

hey guys i just broke my 7k OPS and tried going to one of the local hockey shops to get the shaft tapered however he said its not possible because its a TRUE one piece. Just wondering if any of you know more about this. Thanks!

are you talkin' 7K Sickick? Or the blue/white 7K??

[TBLfan 25]

I don't think either is a true-OPS.

I don't think either is a true-OPS.

I'm not familiar with the blue/white 7K... so I didn't want to comment. But I have a 7K Sickick, and I know some people here have converted their OPS' to shafts...

i was referring to the blue/white 7k, but yeah thats what someone at the hockey shop said and that he can't taper it which i was skeptical about. I'm gonna try going to cyclones and see if they can do it. Thanks!

100% sure its a two-piece fused(you should be able to make out the hairline fuse point, but then again, RBK may be using CCM technique with that air-bladder type molding which could result in a weird shaft interior therefore not allowing for a blade to be inserted.

Steve! Haha, he's good at running power skating clinics, but I wouldn't rely on his gear advice. Try the Vancouver Cyclone Taylor or the Surrey Hockey Shop.

Russ is the guy in the commercials, Steve aka "Hammer" is the owner. He played for the VooDoo!

Why aren't you doing it yourself? Sand down the paint, if there is a fuse point, then heat it up and pull out the blade. Better yet, find a SRS dealer and have the break repaired. $29.99 for repair is cheaper than buying a tapered blade.

The stick is a fused OPS, i found the bottom of a 7k broken in half and i took the blade out of the stick. if you want i can post up some pics of the blade, it is fused and i'm 100% sure of my answer on this one

If it's fused, how did you manage to take the blade out?

[barrett 0]

^ Fused means it is not a true ops it is a shaft and blade fused together , so you just hav ti fund the fuse point ad heat it up an take the blade off.
