mojo122 530 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 The pair I looked at were light, but not as light as Vapor XXX's. As for the stiffness, they were very stiff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mik3 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 I don't think CCM will go anywhere, it's sorta like people who thought Nike was just going to 'swoosh' everything and eliminate anything traditional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdcopp 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 I seriously doubt they drop the CCM line at all. The way things look right now with the new gear is taking the Vector line to Reebok exclusively, and putting RBK where things used to say Jofa. Nike kept Bauer around for the same reason Reebok will more than likely keep CCM around, long term brand recognition. If you find someone who grew up playing, and they haven't played in several yrs, guess which brands they look for? CCM and Bauer. Those two names are the longest lasting, most well known names. Nike could have axed the Bauer line along with Daoust and Mega, but knew the market share Bauer would retain for them, it's no different here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corry34 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 Guys,No plans to go anywhere with the CCM Tacks line. Similar to the current lines, our future will include CCM Tacks, CCM Vector and RBK skates.Just a quick note on the fit of the RBK skates vs Tacks, the RBK skates are a bit wider in the midfoot.

chippa13 1844 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 So is it safe to assume that the Rbk skates fit more similar to the old Externo line? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 judging by a few commments the 8ks arnt in the top 4 or 5 lightest? They feel pretty light and you're only talking about a handful of grams in any case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdcopp 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 So is it safe to assume that the Rbk skates fit more similar to the old Externo line? The externos were really narrow in the toe box, the Vectors are much wider there. If the only difference is the midfoot from RBK to CCM Vector, than they're a bit wider throughout than the externos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
