Turning the Rbk O-stick into a shaft

[ktang 34]

If the blade on the Rbk O-stick (the one with the holes in it) gets broken, can it be chiseled out at the hosel so the shaft can be re-used? Is there a fuse point? Or is it not possible (like the S17 with the oval lower shaft)?

Thanks in advance...

I did it to mine and it wasnt that hard.

Just heat up the side walls, then stick a chisel between the sidewall and whats left of the blade, and tap it down with a hammer until the blade portion cracks. Then do it with the remaining sides, and get all of the debris out.

A friend of mine did that. If you don't buy the right blade it throws the balance right off. It didn't last him that long though.

The balance can't get much worse than with the stock blade, as long as you aren't buying an ST blade for it (which isn't an issue because it's standard), the balance should be alright.

On my friends stick the balance was horrible. Not sure what blade he used though?

yes it can be done.............if you look closely at the shaft you can see the fuse point of where the shaft meets the blade.. Cut it directely on that line then heat the shaft and let it sit there for a moment. Then take a sharp small chizel and begin knocking out the inner wall material from the blade.. Take your time and it comes out perfect..

Thanks for the responses and the reference to the picture, guys. One of my team-mates just broke the blade on his O-stick...

CTHockey, did you have to cut down the tenon of the blade?

I had to cut about .5 inch off of my Synergy II blade for it to fit.

didnt have to cut anything.... as long as you cut right at the fuse point you should be good to go.. any higher and you'll start hitting the foam that is right before the first "O" begins

Wierd, I cut below the fuse point and still had to trim off some of the tenon.

Does anyone know if the tenons of the blades are different lenghts depending on the companies?

Some are different lengths, but by what amount I wouldn't know. It's possible the SynII blade tenon was 1/4" longer than the CCM Vector.

Now let's see somebody turn a shaft into an O-Stick.

Now let's see somebody turn a shaft into an O-Stick.

Grab an old woodie and a power drill.

Or add a Mylec Jet Flo blade....
