A2rhino 79 Report post Posted June 27 Curious, Would you consider in True Skates a D size as a Fit 1 or 2? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman8310 109 Report post Posted September 8 (edited) I currently have size 9 Large True tongues, and they stick out too much. The pair I have are the TF Pro thin tongues. I don’t like how the excess part sticks out of the skate. If I went down to a Medium, would the metatarsal guard end up in the wrong spot, or would switching to a smaller tongue be fine? Would like to do something like this but not have to cut the tongues. Edited September 8 by iceman8310 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A2rhino 79 Report post Posted September 8 I actually just ordered a size smaller tongue as I have run into the same issue with where they sit to be the most protective and comfortable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuie7 6 Report post Posted September 13 Hi everyone. I took a 5 year break from hockey, and after I got off the ice last night I noticed that the rivet securing the tendon guard had disappeared from my old VH skates. Anyone know what kind of rivet would be a suitable replacement? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went down a size in the 3D printed tongues and prefer the length on them. I didn't notice any difference with the metatarsal guard but the 3D are very squishy.

Anyone know what kind of rivet would be a suitable replacement? Skip the rivet. Just use helmet hardware or the appropriate bolt, etc. Will stay connected much better and you don't even need access to a riveter. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman8310 109 Report post Posted September 20 Can anyone help me with replacing the felt tab on the tongues? My VH tongues were great, but the True tongues are terrible. Whenever I pull them up, they come undone. I think the felt tab needs more material so the tongues stay in place better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a post/thread on here somewhere where the person replaced the felt part with a more heavier duty one. I did the same. No issues after. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't need a sewing machine. unless you don't know how to hand sew at all, it's pretty simple to replace. Either way lots of places sell Velcro. You can get adhesive backed or not. If you can't sew just get the adhesive industrial grade Velcro but there's no guarantees the adhesive will hold forever. You can always use e6000 glue as well. Personally, I'd use a speedy stitcher type awl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
