APX skate - T1 tongue?

[Lfntn10 0]

I've been using the APX skates for 2 weeks now, and one thing that I do want to try on these skates are the Total One tongues with the inserts (because I want it really stiff). I know tongue conversions are possible, but would Bauer be willing to sell the Total One tongues seperately?

i think it would be easier just to get reflex inserts and put those on above your tounges

from what i have been told, the T1 tongue is not sold separately.

Sorta fit into the slot in the APX tounge, gonna try em out while not attached(just under laces) and if i like it ill see what i can do to make it permanent.

The insert needs to be locked in at the top. I'll bet it gets sloppy and rolls around off center of the tongue. Good luck!

So how'd it work?

yeah - I'm curious too...

based on the effect different tongue inserts have on T1s it should stiffen the skate considerably, which given how stiff APX is already might make them quite difficult to flex...

alright, well the inserts stayed in place well, i put tape at the top of them attaching them to the tongue. Skated in them for about 1.5 hours and i cant say i really noticed a difference. for the first few strides i could tell they were there but after that i could not notice them at all.

depending on how heavy/strong you are that'd be expected - I can't feel med inserts at all, and stiff is only a little better.

how about trying x-stiff? it should make a difference!

You can definitely order any tongue you want from Bauer. I don't think US LHS can order though. You need to go through Canada.

I have One100LE and I do not like the felt tongues so I had Bauer send me One95 tongues and then had another shop pit them in for $30.

Call Toronto Hockey Repair ask for Ally. They cost me about $120.

Hope that helps.

i was using med's, but those were just a pair laying around the back room at work that i grabbed. I dont think that im going ot get any others though.

Nice. Where do you work? I know some guys looking for gear and they have cash money.

Most people wouldn't tell people that they stole something from work and then tell people where they work. Things like that can bite you in the ass.

oh, haha. Yea, just a pair that a customer left and have been in the back for a while. I meant to say "stole". I was actually given permission to take them. I'll keep my guard up for other comments like that. Thanks
