Jonathon v Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Let me start by saying I didn’t want to come here for this. I did lots of research and couldn’t find a solution. So pro laces come with screws and those little rings you put on the screws. I don’t use the rings because It makes it a little easier to put on. So I have Brian’s gnetik 3 stock pads and I can’t seem to one of the screws to connect with the part of the pro lace where you connect them. I know that seems confusing and I’m sorry but I’m tired? Anyone know how to put them on my pads without the screws, I’ve seen some goalies do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how to put them on my pads without the screws, I’ve seen some goalies do that Use a skate lace (preferably waxed as it won't slip/stretch nearly as much) and knot it through the toe bridge. Make sure you double knot it if you just use a basic one. Also use a lighter on the ends so they don't fray and on the knot as melting the laces together will pretty much make the knot impossible to loosen. I wish Michel from Pro Laces would make this just standard as I believe the screws are a bad system (can come loose without locktite applied, rust, a pain to assemble and scratches skate).

Michel is now offering different attachment options, you just have to ask. @Jonathon v I'm not sure how you're attaching the bridge to your pads... But I've found wrapping the Pro laces bridge around your existing toe bridge vs folding it behind as seen in his install video makes install so much easier. I've done this on my GT Pros: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any videos on that? Seems simple but I don’t wanna screw ant up i just take out the bolts out of the mini toe bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I would skip the bolts. I have never used them. Get a piece of skate and just tie the bridge to the pro laces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedric35 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Mostly lurk on the board, but thought I'd add. I ordered elastic toe straps from Passau and they came with plastic ties to them to the toe bridge. It's been well over a year with no issues.

I've done this on my GT Pros: Yeah, I've requested skate lace on my last two pairs. He's very accommodating. I just mean as a stock option.

And then just lace it through the Pro Laces bridge and the toe bridge. I also do it like @cwarnar does...easier to install and I found the other way pinches the shock cord against the bridge.

Jonathon v Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 I don’t know why I didn’t think of skate lace before it is so easy. Only thing is I made like 6 knots because I didn’t want it to come undone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
