UGA 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2013 Some websites and shops list the CCM RBZ 70 skates with the E-Pro holder and others have them with the CCM Speed Blade +4.0 holder. So are they sold with different holders or is there a mistake. The links both show different runners.RBZ 70 with e-pro http://www.totalhockey.com/product/RBZ_70_Ice_Skate/itm/12049-41/?mtx_id=0RBZ 70 with speed blade 4 http://www.icewarehouse.com/descpage.html?pcode=CR7SS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy 194 Report post Posted November 5, 2013 RBZ70 and lower have the Epro, 80 and up have the SB4. Websites are often wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boo10 323 Report post Posted November 6, 2013 RBZ70 and lower have the Epro, 80 and up have the SB4. Websites are often wrong.This is incorrect. Every pair of men's 70's that I have seen have the SB holder. I believe that the 70 and above in men's sizes have the SB holder, while the 80 and above in junior sizes have the SB holder.I have checked stock in Pro Hockey Life, Sportchek and National Sports. Not sure if the US market is different, but I don't believe so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy 194 Report post Posted November 6, 2013 US market is different from Canada, but it is also possible they did a mid-yr change if they ran out of e-pros. The US CCM catalog shows 70's and below as e-pros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be curious to know if anybody has actually seen a pair of men's 70s at retail with e-pro holders? Perhaps all the e-pro stock went to Reebok production?

customskateworks 39 Report post Posted November 6, 2013 2013 US catalogue has Senior and Junior with E-Pro. Here at our warehouse in the US, the Seniors have Speed Blades and the Juniors have E-Pros. Since the online pictures typically come from catalogues, that explains the confusion. Working on getting ours (TH) changed now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correction: It was the pro shop at the RMU sports complex, not Pure Hockey. Interestingly, Pure's display RBZ 70 had the SB holder (right down the road from RMU).
