Black Stone U-12 Holder - Bauer APX2

[lovejotd 1]

I only have the youth holder for my blackstone Professional Portable, and I called blackstone to order an adult holder. I told them I have APX2s and they told me those skates do not fit in the U-12 adult holder and I would have to take the blade out to sharpen. So I might as well just use the youth holder and take the blades out. Have you heard or have experience with this?

Strange.

I've never encountered any issues with any of the LS Edge we do in the store on U-12s.

yeah seemed really odd to me... Do you think I should just order one and hope it works out???

I know it's going to work out.

At the end of my shift today, we did about 48 pair. Quite a few of those were LS Edge - I even thought about it today; people thought they would see customers switch to LS2 on all the new Vapors; haven't seen many of those.

I do know that it gets a bit weird on 306s, but that pretty much goes for any holder in that size.

I am reaching out to another blackstone rep i have spoken with and see if they have the same to say

I'm having a similar issue. I picked up a used Blackstone X01 from a neighbor who moved away and it came w/ the Tri-Lie universal carrier.

The carrier fits 4 of 5 skates for family members, but doesn't fit my son's Bauer Vapor X06s.

I looked on Blackstone's site and it looks like I might need to buy a completely new carrier for $500+.

I sent Blackstone an email, but also thought someone here might have an idea for a solution.

We have a solution in the works for now you can simply take the blades out and sharpen them. Hope it helps.....
