Question about inno 1100

[blues_91 0]

In the "Dool Fit" sticker it says use "heat gun to remove blade...do not use open flame" does that mean you can remove the blade on the 1100 with a heat gun?

btw for people around vancouver, BC scoffs hockey just got the innos in yesterday

[Thockey17 1]

you can remove a blade from any shaft with a heat gun

So the 1100 isn't really a 1-piece just a 1100 shaft with a tapered blade glued in?

Like most "one pieces", its a tapered blade fused into a tapered shaft.

Confusion is reigning supreme here....I'm not sure whether you have an 1100 shaft or OPS

If you got an 1100 shaft with a blade, you can remove the blade with a heat gun just like any 2-piece.

If you got an 1100 OPS, it's Fused (blade fused into shaft). Technically you could remove the blade if you wanted to, but it would take a bit more work than heating it up with a heat gun.

sorry about the confusion, yeah its a OPS I was jus wondering if you could heat it up like the vapour xx

Are you talking about those Double Kick 1100 Fused or whatever their name is? The ones with the two kick points so you flip it over to make it a shaft after it breaks? Surely someone knows what I'm talking about.

[Cavs019 702]

the dual kick is a shaft, not an ops. Its basically a normal tapered shaft but the standard end is designed with a kick as well. VERY stupid idea if you ask me because if you use the standard side and need to cut it down, you end up cutting the taper, making the tapered end unuseable.

Thats what I thought he was talking about.

I was confused. Having it a shaft makes much more sense than an OPS. Still, there are obviously flaws. Thanks for clarifying that Cavs.

ya the 1100 dual fit "ops." the idea is its got kickpoints on both ends. ive never seen them i thought inno kinda gave that idea up but i guess not. if i remember correctly tho, youre supposed to be able to take those blades out with just a gun, i think the "ops" is pretty much just so people buy it like its a one piece but in reality i think its just a shaft with a comp blade in it that you can take out like any other. might wanna check for sure tho.

It's dual kick but it's a OPS, the guy at my the shop said they jus started making them or something, and didn't recieve many.....heck they're the only shop I've seen in BC that carries any inno sticks. Btw if I cut it down would I ruin the stick? It says there is a 12" flex at the top and said with a standard blade it would perform the same, but if my blade happens to brake I'd rather remove the blade and keep the taper, do you even need the flex at the top?

[Thockey17 1]

There is a dual-fit OPS.

And there also is a shaft.

Nice! I wasn't wrong. When the hell did Roberts become a retail pattern for Inno? I must have missed it.

If you cut it you will lose the kickpoint at whatever end is the top. That's fine if you only want to use one end, but just buy a regular 1100 if you don't want the versatility.

[blues_91 0]

Yeah I would've done that but ther were only duel flex ones available n only two on the shelf so I just snatched it while I had the chance.

New for this year I think. Saw a rack of blades and grip True-1s (all black like Robert's GI sticks) at my LHS. New patterns I saw included Roberts (slight curve with a square toe if I recall, nothing like his pro pattern) and Jovanowski (Lidstrom clone).

[blues_91 0]

Yeah I think they're changing the name of the patterns b/c mine has draper slapped right over milgony that's still visible.
