Need new skates with strong chassis

Recommended Posts

Ive broke two skates this year both because the chassis snapped off the bottom. The rivets didnt hold it I guess. They were the Mission 7500 and the 9500's. I dont want to repair the boot with a new chassis because the bottom of the skate is ripped apart too.

Question is what skate would be strong enough for me to skate on? Im not a heavy skater. 185 lbs. It may be my stride, Im not sure. But would you guys know any skates that provide extra strength in that area?

well, you could look at the Code carbons.... or go to and older boot, that had the wrap around outsole, like the easton air series, or gear big daddy's they are hot skates... there are one or two new pairs on ebay

the original hum'er frames (beemer, bluemax)are tanks, but a bit heavy.

There were some issues with the cateye (code-1, code E-2) denting, but it also seemed to hold up fairly well. hopefully the new proset frame (code carbon) fixed the denting issues.

I dont think I want to go with something like Gear because I think those are on the heavier end. And Im not sure about Tour because I know that I am very used to the Hi-Lo frame and I've never tried the all 80mm set up.

Would it be a good idea for somebody like me (who seems to snap these chassis) to get a decent boot, and then buy a strong chassis then put the two together? Or would that be more vulnerable to break because its not the original work.

And to Cue - they are out of warranty.

getting a good boot and chassis mounted by someone that knows what they're doing is just as strong if not stronger as any mount job coming off an assembly line. grab a red star e-frame if you want to stay with hi-lo, if you want something super durable and don't mind a little bit of weight, get an old mission generator chassis or something like that
