Ideas for Easton Mako runners running low

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a recommendation for what to do with my Easton Makos that are running thin on their runners? I thought I bought an extra pair of steel but I cannot find it after 3 moves. Anyway, my steel is running thin. Size 9.5EE Makos with 280mm steel. What do I do if I cannot find replacement steel? Swap out the holders with Tuuk? Or wait for the Warrior skates? I figure I have 6-9 months to figure it out before the steel gets down to unplayable.

I am also an Easton CXN runner and holder user. I have several pairs of makos that I rotate and I also have extra Easton holders/runners I put on my trues. I am Interested in the new Warrior skates also.

I have tried several different quads and duals on Tuuks but I haven’t found one that lands and gives me the on my toes feeling.

I have found that a single radius (9’ or 10’) with an aggressive forward pitch on tuuk runners is pretty close to the pitch on the Easton runners. Not perfect but close enough that you’ll adjust pretty quick. I have also used 3mm lifts between the holder and boot on Tuuks with a single radius as a cheaper alternative. I have my own riveter so I am able to change holders and lifts easily.

Thanks for the response @sturdy22. I think I will save the $$ on the swaps and just apply it to the Warriors when they launch (or when they go on sale after they have been available for a minute if my steel holds out that long. @IPv6Freely I just started hunting for CXN runners. I saw a listing on Sideline Swap and thought I scored and then saw it was an old listing. The sage shall continue.
