Amazing how nice white tuuks look on one90's

i like the non-power LS2's a lot better, and now people keep asking me how i like my one95's when they see them.

Lol, you don't even need to black them out!

i did the tacks this afternoon (snowday). i used 8-32 screws and tee nuts from mcmaster. it was an easy job, since practically none of the holes line up,or are even close, so i was drilling through clean outsole (as opposed to loose-fitting in overlapping holes). also disabled the lacelocks (hate those things). they feel great, and i think i got the mounting placement/alignment perfect, so i can't wait to skate on them.

Is mcmaster a forum member or is that a website or store where you get the hardware?

I want to pick up some of these screws and t nuts and I just want to know where to look.

Thanks man.

get a box of the tee nuts, and order STAINLESS screws in several lengths. i've needed screws in lengths from 1/4" to 5/8" depending on the thickness of the outsole (the 5/8" were for the heel of the roller conversion, where i used a 6mm heel lift). 3/8" has been by far my most commonly used screw length. also, dont forget to use loctite threadlocker (mcmaster carries small disposable tubes for cheap).

Ugly helmet, but damn comfortable. I've been trying to find an excuse to get rid of mine, but nothing fits as good.

it memory foam. it helps cover the joint of the 2 pieces of the shell. there is no occipital lock or side adjustment like the retail verision.

whered you get the 8500 with the foam???

[TBLfan 25]

On the shelf next to the boots with da fur.

[dw91 0]

so does the 8500 vn version sit low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low..er than the retail?

sorry, couldnt resist it :P oh, and yes, I know it does sit lower than EPP version

also, how long before materials scientists find us a cheap foam than protects like EPP but fits like VN? Theres huge pro's and con's to both, and I really dont think the FXPP is much of a middle ground. Its just reworked EPP in a sense

Why not just get a 4500 if you want that foam?

[jrhky36 1]
