Lightspeed v. Lightspeed 2

[Hitman 0]

What is the difference in these holders?

Are there other Lightspeed holders as well?

LS2 is 3mm higher than the original. There's also the Lightspeed 2 power.

Wrong.

There is zero difference between LS and LS2 other than the hardware. The 3mm height was the difference between LS and Custom +.

I found the LS to be stiffer than the customs I tried.

The LS2 is stiffer & heavier than the LS. The LS doesn't have the blade holes and the bumps in the holder's bottom edge.

So the LS2 is easier to stone.

The blade attaches with a single fastener at the heel.

The LS2 Power has great glide.

PS The older customs were really spongy and would flex under hard loading. I got rid of those pretty quick.

There was a running change in LS - mid-year 2003 the grooves in the holder were taken out and made flush.

I think the difference between LS and LS2 is the size of the nut/bolt in the heel. The LS2 uses the same size as the Custom+.

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

No. The LS2 and Custom+ bolts are very similar - the LS2 bolt is just 4 times the size.

That doesnt sound too similar to me :D

So, to use a LSP2 blade, you must use a LSP2 holder? I believe you stated that

the other day, but just trying to make that clear. Also, JR..is there really any added benefit to getting LSP2's compared to the regular Lightspeeds? I know the blade is longer, but is it noticeable when skating??

Just making sure, I can put a LS2 runner on an LS holder?

All I know is that the lightspeed series of runners is the best ever, and I'll be using them on whatever skate I purchase. I just dont like the clear ones and I wish they made them in black and possibly blue, I mean not like that crap that totalhockey puts out, but like the old school blue.

I used to think that, until I switched to Pitch. Lightspeeds only lasted 4 skates before dulling. Pitch, 5 skates and still going...

I thoguht the LSP2 were 3mm higher for improved cornering and stopping.

Just because you thought it doesn't mean you are right.

Tuuk went taller in the back for the LightSpeed because everyone else was taller than the Custom +. PITCH is the same height as Custom + from what I can remember.

Yes

[sabres48 0]

So are you trying to say all lightspeeds are the same height which would be 3mm higher than the custom +'s?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Yes

ok, thanks.

Absolutely! In fact, I did this very thing a few years back when I broke an LS runner on my Bauer 8090s I owned back then. My LS2 runners worked just fine in my LS holders.
