Marsblade roller chassis

[Miller55 333]

Yeah, also in the R1 I would imagine the medium is way too short for a 45eu.

Speaking of R1 size large, it's already July. Looking forward to some kind of email one of these days

If you are talking the O1, the medium is about 26cm in length and will be too small for a Bauer boot that size. I have all three sizes of the O1 and the large fits perfectly starting on a size 8 Bauer boot which is about a 43D.

 

Thanks for the reply 😄
 

Is that 26cm on the frame mounts or measured from front axle to back axle? Just wondering as the Hilo frames that came with my Bauer’s are 27cm axle to axle.

Cheers, Matt

@Marsblade are the preordered large R1’s still on track for July delivery to the USA?  
 

 

[JSchultz 25]

my buddy sent them an email about his L chassis - the response was that they're finishing up production still. I'm assuming that it's end of July at this point, maybe early Aug. 

 

my other buddy and I preordered the M R1 and I am just assuming that we'll get them last week of August.

That would be on the mount from edge of heel to edge of toe.

I got the same. Im guessing week 33 is around the 2nd week of August?

[215BroadStBullies610 435]

That's what I'm thinking. Not sure when I'll be back to playing hockey but figured this thread would like to know any official update.

[marka 526]

Howdy,

I got something similar for my O1+boot order as well.  I'm in preorder batch #3, and it says that my skates are ready, but are currently at the factory and their UPS train slot was cancelled.  New estimated delivery to their warehouse is Aug 15th, with "we'll expedite / upgrade to express shipping" so presumably I'll get them not long after that.

Mostly I was surprised to learn that UPS uses trains.  🙂

Did you preorder at the $99 price point? I ordered at 139 and I didn't receive any contact yet. 

Nevermind, just saw the email in my spam box. Same thing, August week 33. Whenever that is.

I ordered at the lowest price and I got the same message. Looks like week 33 is August 10-16.  
Thankyou Marsblade for the update. I’ll stop standing by the door waiting for the UPS guy until August. 

[215BroadStBullies610 435]

Yea, I ordered my at the $99 (lowest) price point. The only thing that the arrival of the R1 chassis is when I start to look for a pair of ice hockey boots to convert over to inline.

[Westside 232]

Did everyone that received a delay email preorder size Large? I preordered Medium which was originally slated to arrive in August. Haven’t seen an email saying they’re delayed anymore. 
 

Any 8.5 skate owners order Large or stick to Medium? Chart shows medium as the recommended chassis but a 9 is a large. Still not sure which would be better, but thought medium will result in a smaller radius and require more balance which would benefit me on the ice 

[busdriver 6]

I had the same question about 8.5 and users of the O1 recommended going with the recommended size on the chart.  My feet are bigger than I thought so I ended up with 9.5 skates and size a large.   Looking forward to skating on them 

[Rob Riccetti 2]

Received this last week, so end of August for mediums I would think.:  

Hi Rob, thanks for reaching out.  We are estimating the Medium R1 Chassis to be delivered to our warehouse in mid August. We have not received any further updates on the delivery.  When they arrive to our warehouse we will do our best to ship all orders as soon as possible.  Please, let me know if you have any further questions.

I preordered large and medium R1’s. I’m planning on putting the large on a pair of 8.5EE Reebok’s.

With the arrival of Corona, I have been doing a lot of testing of equipment for my own purposes (mostly to keep competitive during the aging process). When I was looking at the Marsblade O1 chassis originally, it was primarily going to be for training/drills.  When we were able to start playing inline again, I tried to find comments on their usage in competitive, non-league environments, but couldn't find anything.  I became very used to the Marsblade movements and chassis size, so I thought, "Why not try them out and see how they perform?"  I did order the R1's and am looking forward to their arrival, but in the meantime, I used the O1's a couple of times with limited success.  I was able to turn tighter, but because of the weight combined with the 72mm wheels, I was struggling to keep up.  I went back to hi-lo 76/80's and was back to my original speed.  While I continued to play inline, I did my training drills also with the hi-lo's, switching to harder wheels for outside usage.  Now that the inline is over and ice will come in about a month, I am back to the O1's for drills and will test the transition to ice in September.  So, in case anyone is wondering if they should use the O1's for competitive inline, you probably shouldn't.  Stick with the hi-lo's until the R1's arrive.  Now my next test is:  Will the R1's become the answer to both equations = training and competitive inline playing?  I will let you know once they arrive.

Wheel size is dependent on frame size with the O1. I have a large chassis on an 8.5 boot and it’s a 76mm flat setup. So not as much difference compared to a 76/80 hi-lo setup

I would definitely agree with that.  Unfortunately, the medium was available at a time when nothing else seemed be, so I went with that.  I still love these things for what they were made for and I am very optimistic about the R1's. 

[busdriver 6]

Maybe this has been answered....  The R1 has inserts to create different Heel (H) and Toe (T) radiusses (radii?) what are the H T settings on the O1?

They can be adjusted using the bolt, so there is no one answer, but from my understanding, there is only a single radius on the O1 because there is only that one bolt, so however much the toe can move is how much the heel can. I could be wrong about this, but that's my understanding. The inserts on the R1 replace that bolt

[busdriver 6]

Actually. the R1s have the bolt and bushing also and the inserts seem to limit the amount of rock in the front or back.  

 

this video shows loosening the bolt and separating the lower and upper parts of the frame. https://m.facebook.com/groups/2743257915802367?view=permalink&id=2974659689328854

@busdriver The O1 has a single 4ft radius //Per, Inventor

Nice. Thanks for the info.
