I figured they wouldn't actually have gone to market with 4mm blades for a 3mm holder, at least not for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like tenths of a mm. That difference could be how Tydan is getting away with going around the Bauer patent in the US. Yes- we are talking tenths of a millimetre here, but that can be *just* enough to get around a patent. Believe me when I say this: depending on the judge, 0.2 mm is enough to say it is not a direct copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good with it skirting the patent, as long as it doesn't break my holder Also I'm like a couple hours from their office, so they're already in the mail, go Canada!

I hear you there! I am in the process of becoming a Step dealer, but it bums me out that I can’t carry the Bauer trigger blade from Step; maybe Tydan will let me sell their blades...

I could put a micrometer on the steel, but I don't want to jinx the fact that they have been working great for 30 games (If there is any variation found). I had absolutely no problem putting the Tydan in the 1S holder. They are certainly not a 4mm width. -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mroy31 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Bit of a processing error from Canada Post en-route from Tydan to me... "Possible delay" oh yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mroy31 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 So after a weekend detour up into cottage country, the blades came in on Monday. Opened them up to see they sent the standard stainless steel blades. Got that straightened out though, and can confirm the difference between them and the LS3G (if any) is not noticeable and doesn't affect installation. Gonna skate with them on Sunday to get used to the height, rather than in my league game tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 @Mroy31 - can we get some pics and maybe of the whole skate? I’d like to post this on the IG account I think I’m going to get some once I am done with Brian’s testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mroy31 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 It was a surprisingly smooth transition. I was expecting some initial wobbles and awkward shuffles/butterflies, but I'm pretty confident taking them into my league game after the first skate. Can't comment on Tydan vs Step, my decision was mostly based on accessibility. But in general, so far harder + taller = more gooder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting both sets of steel sharpened recently and realizing how short they have become so quickly, Tydans have been ordered. Did't go the custom etching route yet. Wanted to make sure I liked them before I go to the added expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAngle41 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 @Mroy31 I think my steels are taking the same mail routing as yours... perhaps through Bangladesh. (Probably not that bad, but being anxious makes it feel that way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing I didn't mention about my shipping ordeal was that Canada post messed up on the return to sender when I sent the stainless steel ones back. So when the right blades showed up, so did the wrong ones again.

They arrived yesterday evening!! Probably no need to post pictures as they'd be the same as yours, but I'm very anxious to get on the ice. The difference in height is one thing that will likely take a few minutes to get comfortable with, but I'm more interested in the DLC and see how it (along with what I am led to believe is a higher quality steel) holds up. I'd like to compare weight, and could probably do so based on the amount of steel left on both my LS3G and LS2G steels to make a somewhat uniform measure. Tydan is likely heavier, in part to the steel make up, in part the DLC (even though it's microns.) I don't skate again until Thursday (backed out of this evening's skate... wishing I didn't now) so maybe I'll get them on a scale. @TheGoalNet... any thoughts if members would like to know about weights between steels?

TheGoalNet Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 @Mroy31 @BadAngle41 - I have some specs on the 5G Steel on the 2S. Can you measure the height of your Tydan blades? I am curious if they are taller or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some. Itching to use it.

Mroy31 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I had the same reservations about starting out in a league game, so I saved them for pickup. I won't say it was nothing, but it wasn't like I had to re-learn how to skate or move. It was more like, "oh, I can get a bit of a wider stance" or "I've got more bite there than I expected." Maybe depends on which team you're playing. If it's the bottom of the league and you've got some leeway, give it a shot. If it's a battle for top spot, maybe wait until pickup just in case Off I go to try out my new Vaughn pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
