Beflar 55 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Long story short, my 13' custome profile after six months is now a 9' profile. LHS screwed it up?To tell you the truth I have no idea how long this has been on my skates for. I remember feeling a little unbalanced for a few skates but I adapted I guess. Not sure what I should do now...I'm thinking of getting a 11' put on and getting the LHS to do it for free? Thoughts?So this could be a blessing in disguses since I thought I was becoming a stronger skater and 13' was holding me back a little anyways...Any thoughts on the matter are welcome. I have mixed feeling on this cause I can't be on a different profile everytime i'm on the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davetronz 109 Report post Posted February 8, 2012 You need to do what feels right for you in regards to your personal skating style and preferred position. Your brand of skate comes into play too, in regards to pitch.I don't think anyone can tell you to choose one exact profile over another. I skated on a few different profiles before I settled with one I liked. As far as getting the shop to do it for free, that will be between you and them. If they've made an honest mistake, see what they are willing to do to correct it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_sock 1 Report post Posted February 8, 2012 The human body is amazing, it can adapt to almost anything you throw at it. Just give it enough time to evaluate the change. Skate with the new radius for a month or more to let you adapt your skating style and mind. Judge from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you ask to have a radius done, or did they just decide to do one for free? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beflar 55 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 I'm curious, how did your LHS screw up? Did you ask to have a radius done, or did they just decide to do one for free?well i had the radius done to a 13' and after 6 months it is now a 9' radius. they said it was normal... is that normal? so now i have to pay 30 extra to get it done back to 13'. i have no idea...

AIREAYE 248 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Steel eventually gets banana shaped after repeated sharpenings and if you want to get it back to 13' there won't be much (if any) skateable steel left I'm guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like they did it on purpose... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
