Doug Bierleaguer   4 Report post Posted April 5, 2023 I have picked up some gently used Graf Ultra G5 and love them more than my CCM's. 🙂 After a couple of games walking back to the locker room heard a blade click 😞 . The screw holding the blade tight loosens with cold and vibration I think. I've tried loctite blue and after one game success, but afraid it will become loose again. Anyone have experience with this and some good ideas? Here are my new used skates with comparison to my CCM's.  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beedee   227 Report post Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Man, this thread takes me back! I had a pair of those Graf Ultra G5's many years ago. Tried to love them and get my money's worth for 3 years but could never get them quite right after multiple punches and what not. Had the worst bunion pain ever right where the boot met the toe-cap on them. Also had issues with the blade loosening up, and like you, tried blue loctite. I also remember them giving off some crazy "whaaauuunnnnt" vibration noises when stopping.  Edited April 5, 2023 by beedee 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
