Drummer829 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2013 Well my strong suit is ice hockey, and when it comes to roller I'm less knowledgable. Are the magnesium chassis from mission the lightest available? I took my old ice skates removed the holders and put my old mission chassis (7 years old) on them and they have been working great, but damn they are heavy. Looking for something a little lighter as I'm starting to do inline again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Souldriver 64 Report post Posted June 14, 2013 Is it heavy for a roller skate or for an ice skate?Unfortunatly with the chasis and wheel weight added roller skates will always be a little bit heavier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aldoraines 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2013 What Souldriver said. I have a pair of Eq5's with a Mission mag chassis on them. Ultra light, until the wheels and bearings go on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Souldriver 64 Report post Posted June 14, 2013 One of the lightest roller skates out there is the top tier mission ac1 and it is extremely light.I then picked up a 3rd tier ice skate and it was noticeably lighter. There isn't much you can do untill there is a breakthrough in wheel tech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drummer829 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2013 Oh yes I definitely understand roller skates will always be a little heavier, but I have some old low end mission chassis that probably weigh as much as the AC1 as a whole haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
