coopaloop1234 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Some new steel for my 44k's. Just the black stock ccm steel. It was either that or step steel, and for whatever reason, adding height to my skates is a barrier I can't seem to want to get over as of yet.

ULTIMA Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Paid in full but at this point the material is probably just getting cut. So no real pictures till they're in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool specs!! I don't need a new set, but I've played around with the customizer a few dozen times. I agree on the innumerable combination of options. IMO I think they should have say 3 or 4 (maybe 4 is even too high) "pre-builds" the Lefevre staff consider either common combinations or "purposeful combinations." They could even base the combinations on their Pros... Fleury Spec, Luongo Spec, Crawford Spec. From there you can roll as is or fully customize. Not too different from what they do with stock color schemes. I liken it to (and perhaps an obscure reference) but the ice cream shops where you actually build you own ice cream. The dairy/non-dairy base, flavor combinations, add ins, etc etc etc... gives people too much opportunity to screw it up. Tell me what you guys feel is good, if i want to add a little something I'll ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been really curious about this set-up for a few years now but haven't come across any boots yet. Haven't been able to use them yet! Been out since mid February with shoulder issue. Physio no help. Sports doc appointment tomorrow. Feel great in the basement everytime i put them on though. I should note. The Makos are a size 7.5. My grafs and bauers are size 8. I went down 1/2 size, some guys kept same size in Makos as they had in other skates. Edited April 19, 2018 by daffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoRhinehart Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Just. came back after 4 years so I am doing some upgrades: A full set of Warrior Ritual G3s Pros, slightly used, to fill the hole in my heart when I sold my Smith 5000 set. Ccm 50k Ribcor pro returns to replace my rbk 5ks from 08 Superfeet yellows for the skates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero options for customizing gear like back in the early days of the original RBK Premier is lousy but too many options can be just as bad. For example, offering a pad with just as many external breaks as internals is the ultimate in redundancy. By that point you should be in the E-Flex family pad. That bloody Marty Turco was the one that started all the nonsense. Anyway, you see where I'm going with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Cooper Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Great looking set of CCM’s. Nice that your Reebok glove matches so closely. How do you keep it so clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you keep your warrior knee pads up? As in the top portion...I've worn them under compression pants AND socks but the top half still manages to slide down and bother me in my butterfly. Here is a pic of how I tape my knee pads. I tape the top part and below the knee. I find getting the top on the top part is most critical. Hope that helps.

Chenner29 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Picked up some pro return Varlamov Vaughn pants, look like Velocities. They're the new slimmed down version with the double hip pad. I wanted to try something new because my CCM 13As already have seams coming loose (at the crotch and in the bottom of the thighs). The thigh blocks are roughly 1/4" thicker than the last pair of Velocity pro returns I tried. Outermost hip pad feels like it's padded with HD foam, the inside one is much softer. I think the stock Velocity pant has a soft foam piece here. It's a very well-made piece; I haven't been drawn very much to Vaughn's recent offerings, but it's good to see they can still do a great pant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
