Best West Coast Shop for Mail-In Skate Chassis Installation?

[markk1 1]

I did some searching but couldn't find much info.  In your opinion, what is the best, mail-in, west-coast shop for custom skate chassis installation?  Factors to consider would be turn around time, pricing and craftmanship.  Thanks!

You can get them done by JR right here in the Pro Shop.

JR is great, but not on the west coast. 

Hockey X in Oakland was good (going back many years, but I had an emergency holder swap that they did on the fly and it was fine). I think also BAHR does inline mounts.

That was to answer your question. However, regarding pricing, in my experience almost everyone is more expensive than the MSH pro shop, so if you're sending specifically on the WC to save on shipping, you're probably still going to pay more than sending to JR in Florida, and if your concern is turn around time, I had 3 pairs of skates done in 9-10 days total I believe, with shipping there and back being 4 days each, and I think they arrived by him on Friday afternoon and went out on Monday, so the turn around is basically however long shipping takes. Sorry for the hard sell, I just can't recommend the services enough, as someone whose first inline mount was done closer to 20 years ago with many in between.

Hockey X  is not taking conversions and BAHR is too busy right now so I will give JR a try 😃  Sounds like he is the best in the biz anyhow!

He is. Full stop.

Where in the West Coast? I’ve had two Marsblade conversions done by Jake in LA within 3 days

Is Jake back in LA?

@markk1If you can, use the MSH Pro Shop. This forum gives us a lot of access to FREE knowledge and people that you can't find anywhere else. That's how I found MSH. Using the Pro Shop not only all but guarantees quality workmanship, it's a monetary way to support this site.

I was only recently introduced to him so I’m not sure where he went, but he’s in DTLA now

Cool, Jake did a conversion for me years ago, he's great.
