What would be a good runner to use?

[starsfan71 9]

I want to get the U+ because the accomodate my heel size, and good even before baking. However I am going with the '08 version of the skate with the rocket runner. What runner should I replace it with and how much heavier would the skate really be.

CCM Performance Lite

CCM Performance

It will hardly be any difference in weight with either of these runners, but of course the Lite will be slightly lighter.

Get these ones

They're lighter than the solid ones and will last, even though you probably won't see any pros using them.

[starsfan71 9]

I was looking at the 2 Ininew listed and was making sure they were still up there in performance.

I will give all 3 a look I could care less what Pros are using.

Right on.

Sometimes some pros have no clue about equipment, skate sharpening, etc. Not being sarcastic.

Now with the Performance and Performance lite scince they are the same price on HM what am I giving up for them being lighter.

Perforated steel tends to snap easier.

Supposedly the scalloped runners may be prone to bending. Never happened to me on my Vectors10 (about 2 years three times a week). But you WILL feel the difference in weight with the saclloped ones.

Well I am a small guy I only weigh 115-120 pounds so I think I am going to give them a go.

I am 200 lbs and nothing happened to mine. The replacement pair I bough together with the skates (just in case) never got to get used.

They're a little bit cheaper at HG but I hear they raised their shipping charges. Look for discount codes for HG (google, or good deal thread here at MSH).

I have a discount one for the monkey so I will use it then compare shipping.

I don't think they honored mine 10% off code on my last two $1k orders according to my bank statement. I'm gonna give them (HM) crap if that's the case.

Hmm This one didn't go through =/ well anyways for what I hear about the skates and how they feel it is still a steal.
