roller skates similar to one95s?

[avery16 5]

im an ice player playing indoor roller hockey.. i was looking to get skates similar to my one95s.. which model that bauer offers is similar? are any other companies fit similar?

[nickyb13 9]

Any of the new mission skates will fit similar to supreme skates

[fatwabbit 93]

Agree with ^. The Mission Axiom line was supposedly built on the same last as the Supreme line.

Why not get a One95 and have it converted to inline?

[Kyle Friedman 9]

Yeah I would look for a one95 or a one100 to convert to roller. If you want a complete package skate look at the mission inhaler/axiom lines for the closest fit wise.

The Bauer apxr will have the most similar boot construction but a different fit (vapor fit).

anyone know a good place to buy chassises then? what replaced the one95?

[Tyler Roy 86]

One95-One100-One.9 and what kinda frame are you looking for? High low or straight frame?

not sure i have a preference.. ive always had hi-lo chassis that come with whatever i buy.. i was looking at some old bauer rocker chassis, what do people think of those?

I used to use the old Bauer Rocker chassis as it made the transition from ice to roller a bit easier than a rigid chassis, however; I switched to the Sprung chassis a few years ago and find that it simulates the ice stride better, grips better, stops better and allows you to stop faster. The only downsides I've found are:

1. I've had arm knuckles break and pivot pins fuse to the plastic chassis (the knuckle arm issue is more of an issue with the A6 chassis and doesn't happen as often with the A7 or A8). Soaking the plastic in water on occasion can reduce the frequency of knuckle breaks.

2. Eventually the area wear the arm is inserted is worn down to the point where the arms become loose - this only happens after several seasons of playing and you can slow this process by taking apart and cleaning the parts on a regular basis.

3. The A6 (small) and A7 (medium) chassis are only currently available on the used market as the new models are out of stock and there's no ETA on any new stock. I believe new large A8s are in stock.

So there are some durability and availability issues with Sprungs, but it's the best performing chassis I've used. It's much better than the Tuuk Rocker in my opinion, but the Rocker was more durable and required less maintenance.

hmm interesting.. do you know the difference in the tuuk rocker chassis thats seem to be aluminum and the other kind that looks like its made from composite (black)?

I do own a Tuuk Rocker chassis made from plastic, stay away from that one...it somehow made its way onto a nike quest v2, but if you want the rocker go for the alu/steel version.

As far as I know they're the same thing made with a different material - one is aluminum and the other is plastic with a composite look.

Both of them are heavier than the Sprungs and won't perform as well, but as gosinger suggested you're probably better off finding the aluminum version if you're dead set on getting the Tuuk Rocker chassis.

I have a pair of one95s for ice and a pair I converted for roller. Just get a hi lo chassis and a reputable pro shop and tell them what you want to do.

You could do the job at home too if you'd like. I used about $20 in hardware purchased at any hardware store. Was tricky but saved me money and the piece of mind that I knew the chassis was on straight.
