Saw a pair in my size and grabbed em for outdoor skates. Brand new, still with og Millennium wheels lol Do wheels degrade overtime? If you skate on those, will they just turn to mush, or are they still viable to play on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe these are 74a, so they are way too soft for me, but if I weighed 150 lbs and used them indoors, I'd expect them to be ok for a bit, but not as grippy as when they were new. At my weight (190) they probably would separate from the hub or crack very quickly, besides for being slow and crappy Edited August 20, 2021 by Miller55 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's great, you'll love it if it fits. After the E700 it's probably the best helmet I've used in terms of fit and comfort for me. Looks pretty good too imo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robbjbyoung 20 Report post Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Uni team was looking to make an order of gloves for the year but too many people were on the fence for model so I had to bite the bullet and get a 1 of 1 as a demo pair. Safe to say I've now got people complaining about the wait time for a second run. e: realize there is a separate custom glove gallery... should this be posted there?

What was the sizing like on the goalie skates? I've seen a couple places that the "they run a size large" thing didn't translate over to the goalie skates?

I've seen a couple places that the "they run a size large" thing didn't translate over to the goalie skates? Mark Honestly, not sure. I didn't get measured for them. I just bought 8.5D and they seem to be right. At least the left foot, the right feels a bit small. But that was after a home bake. I'm going to bring them to a store to have the plastic wrap done. The left feels perfect, though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seen to recall the sensor starting on the G90 or something, and the all 80s starting on the beemer. If you swapped the sensors on, then maybe you have some advice for me. I was considering mounting sprungs, but I have no idea how the Kevlar outsole will react and I don't wanna wreck these as I'm not really counting on finding another pair in this lifetime That’s a long time for me to remember, but I remember seeing Fishbones, 962’s, G80’s and G90’s coming with a mix of the Redline hi-Lo frames and the sensor frames.
