anything left to salvage?

Recommended Posts

I dug my Bauer Biax X90 skates out of storage. The number of times I've used them can be counted on one hand, but the wheels are so old they shattered upon light impact, and the (cosmetic?) plastic on the boot and tongue is fragile and cracks easily. 

Is there anything worth holding onto? Chassis, bearings?

If memory serves me correctly, that's a straight frame skate with all the same size wheels (or at least an old school 72mm- 80mm Hi-Lo)? If you're doing league play, I'd highly recommend searching around for some newer skates (check out Sideline Swap and Play It Again) since you run the risk of various parts of the skate failing while playing. Last thing you want is an injury due to your chassis tearing away from the outsole, toe cap separating from the boot, tongue breaking off, etc. 

I'd still roll around on them if you're playing some street hockey with buddies occasionally, but that's about all they're good for at this stage of their life IMO.
