skate tongues

Recommended Posts

I have a pair of 11k's, I love em, but the tongue is dead. I've tried to get RBK replacement but I can't find em anywhere.

I do have new skates like vapor xxv and ccm tacks. Could these be used instead? I was looking at the toe cap of each and they appear to be abit different.

I've thought about putting the tongues off my old One55 skates (black/felt) on my old pond skates for comfort reasons. Those old CCM Kevlar 952s are shot

This is all you need. $10 at REI or order online. Might want to buy black or white waxed thread to match, though.

Bump: Any chance of being able to purchase the APX tongue for my X:60s? I'm assuming no. I wear a Jr. 5.5, but really like the idea of the lacebite protection that the APX has. The boot of my x60's is decent so I don't want to buy 7.0 just because the tongue on my x60's are horribly creased.

I guess an alternative option is getting another replacement. Are tongues with hard plastic inserts better for lace bite compared to white felt?

Bumping this thread too...it seems a good place for my question.

I wear Bauer Flexlite 4.0 Pro's and they have been great for about a year and a half, but all of a sudden I'm getting really bad lacebite issues, and I think it is from the tonuges of my skates. I've had to start using strips of mouse-mat under each tongue to try to help the problem, but it's not really working for more than one game (in the league I play in we play 2-3 games per game day). So I have come to the conclusion that I need new tongues.

My question is what are the best tongues to go for? Like GSH13 said above, I like what I have seen of the APX tongue, so I'm thinking of trying to get some. Are they easy to find? Is this a good option? Or would I be better looking into another type of tongue.
