Fill me in...why they so good, and what am I missing? lolI wanted them cause I've been using Jofas for years, and now the RBKs are what the Jofas used to be. RBK 8K pro is the Jofa 5090 and the RBK 7K pro is the Jofa 6070. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elpresidente99 1 Report post Posted November 11, 2011 Is it right that the 7k seems less bulkier. At this time I'm in 10k's but they are so bulky. I want to stay with RBK/Jofa so the 7k would help me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeySavants 5 Report post Posted November 11, 2011 Everyone's lovin the Reebok shins! Fill me in...why they so good, and what am I missing? lolThey are very comfortable, but I do believe there is also a gross inflation on these because of "Everyone-has-them-I-need-them-too-syndrome", I recall picking up a pair for $30 bucks and now they command $80-120.

You're right , people are getting crazy over these. Glad I paid nowhere near that.Is it right that the 7k seems less bulkier. At this time I'm in 10k's but they are so bulky. I want to stay with RBK/Jofa so the 7k would help me.Yes, the 7k pros are a bit less bulky than the 8k pros. The design is a bit different under the knee cap.

seanmccann 3 Report post Posted November 11, 2011 I picked some game used Sergei Fedorov Graf 501 (Made in Switzerland) skates. Fedorov was a big reason why I became so interested in hockey equipment. I think they are from the early 90's. Does anybody know any information on these? Were 501s different for Swiss made Grafs vs Canada? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZombieAttack27 1 Report post Posted November 11, 2011 How many guys are working at Junkyard? Is it just marcelo and some friends, or is there an entire company to it? BTW... I saw the hounds jerseys on the junkyard facebook. They look really sharp... we both used the same pantone color for red ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCM/RBK might have made a number of mistakes over the years, but that is not one of them. There are very significant differences. Most shin pads look roughly similar, the fact they're both white is irrelevant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
