focoquachy 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2011 I snagged a pair of APX skates for $600, and I want to convert it to inline. I have a spare Mission chassis that I can put on it. Has anyone had any problems with mounting it on this skate? *For those who are going to tell me to keep it for ice, I don't want to because I don't play travel ice, and I play travel roller. My x:40s will do me justice for an Adult league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I filled the middle of the outsoles where they cut the outsole out with epoxy to help reinforce it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the epoxy will take care of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
focoquachy 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2011 I took my skates to Rollin' Ice last night, and they said they were concerned with all the mini vent holes on the bottom of the skates, because if they drilled it, the integrity of the outsole would be ruined. I took it to a different shop across Sharks Ice and they said they'll try to do them.. hopefully they can figure out a way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kanya 3 Report post Posted November 10, 2011 I recently converted One90's to roller. They too have the vent holes in the sole. Get the holders off (you can do this yourself, its easy) then use epoxy or fibreglass to fill the holes. Then get the frames mounted. There's already been guys who've converted APX's, it can be done so don't sweat it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't want to ruin the integrity of the boot by bending it to fit the chassis, so he's going to put a shimmy in the heel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
