Graf G series w/TuuK LS2 holders

Recommended Posts

Anybody have any experience with Tuuk LS2 or custom+ holders on there Graf G series skates? I am having my pro shop install LS2's on my Ultra g35s, and they said they would not drill and do not recommend drilling the hole under the footbed to access the runners locking bolt on the LS2. They said it might compromise the carbon fiber outsole that the G series boots have. If any of you have had this done, let me know how it worked out for you. Thanks

I saw this at my LHS yesterday - they charged the guy $40 for rivets to replace his steel. I said "Want a hole?" He said yes, I reached into my bag, pulled out a 5/8" auger bit, shot between the last two rivets in the heel and bam, a hole.

Won't affect anything.

i have custom+ on my G5. the tech did mention something about being careful with the carbon outsole, but he confidently made the switch. he decided not to drill the access holes for the steel because "by the time you need new steel, it'll be time to replace your rivets".

What happens if the steel breaks and the pair of steel needs to be replaced?

Where is this shop located? I had my LSP2s installed w/o a problem

Buffalo, NY. Getting the LSP2's installed isn't the problem, getting the hole drilled to access the steels locking bolt is. The guy who runs the shop seems to think drilling the hole could damage the carbon fiber outsole. I'm wondering if there is any truth in that.

That's exactly what I am trying to avoid, being charged $30-$40 at my pro shop every time I need to swap out my steel. Since I rotate between multiple steel, having the hole is a must. Thanks for the reply and reassurance.

yeah, i thought about that after. hopefully he does the labor for free when/if that happens.
