Baking Bauer Flexlite 4.0 Pro's

[bar_down_21 0]

I was told that this skate is not meant to be baked .. Is this true? I just bought a pair online and wanted to bake them at home, but if its gonna damage the skate then I obviously won't do it.

If you can bake them, what temp. and how long?

Thanks

I don't know why they couldn't be baked. . . but not at home. . . .go to the store so you can use the skate oven.

Store isn't an option.. they said they won't bake them if they weren't bought there. I tried the 4.0's on at the store to get a feel for the skate and bought the better version from an online store..

Ask another store.

big no no. you should support your lhs. that was a bit of a douche move on your part.

Why would I buy the skate i didn't want? They said they don't carry the 4.0 pros .. only 4.0's.

And the website just tells you the specs of the skates.. not if they should be baked or not.

Dude, look at the specs on the link he gave you...."Thermomoldable" yes, you can bake them.

I agree though, if the store won't order the skates you want go online....BUT, if they sell the same skates at near the same price it is a dick move to use them as a fitting shop.

they wouldn't order you a pair of the pro's?

Nope. They said they couldn't, didn't really give a reason though. They were also the people who said you couldn't bake them .. any reason for the reasoning?

That store sounds terrible.

not baking them for you AT ALL? not even for an additional charge is ridiculous.

there's no reason you can't have these baked. I wouldn't recommend doing it at home. A longer drive to a different shop would be worth it.

sounds like a crappy store then. i guess what you did was ok then.

Is it that the store won't bake them, or the store won't bake them for free?

[Ahriman 1]

regardless of whatever details -

Go to another store.

They said they cannot bake them unless they were bought there. I want to bake them at my house though so I can use them for practice today.. So can anyone give me any info?

your not supposed to wear them the same day as you bake them

Even if you bake them at home, in your oven or a pro oven at a store, it still isn't ok to skate on them after they've been just baked. You should wait some time, best is something like 24 hours so all the resins and glue are hard again.

My 2 cents of an advice, don't do it at home, seems to me you've never done this before and it would be a shame to destroy a brand new pair of skates.

Looks like I'm gonna have to wait <_<

[VakarLajos 5]

Bauer recommends waiting an hour between baking and skating.

As a retailer, we recommend 24 hours, Justin case.
