ser33 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hi all! I encountered the same phenomenon as in the topic title. When walking in skates from the locker room to the ice and back, you can hear the creak and crunch of the blade in the holder. The blade sits tightly, the bolt is tightened. Visually the holder is intact but in the middle part it is a little flexible. I haven’t taken any photos yet, but if they are needed to make a diagnosis, I will. I also noticed that when I took it out, the blade had some sort of black sealant/paste applied along the edges of the plane that is inserted into the holder. Has anyone encountered anything like this? p.s. This is not a fart of the blade on the ice due to the rigidity of the skate, but a crunch/creak when walking. You can't hear this sound on ice. these skates thanks to everyone who will respond and help fix the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I had the same issue after only a season of use with my one pieces a few years ago. After sending them to True twice to be repaired True deemed them unfixable, sent them back to me, and asked if I wanted a new pair of one piece or two pieces skates free of charge. Ended up opting for the two piece skates. I never was able to fix my one pieces and ended up selling them for cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't fix the problem, but at least now I know it's possibly a systemic design problem. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TresPasser Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I had a similar problem a few years ago when the skates were new. I contacted the retailer and they gave an advice to remove the blades, spray silicone spray in the blade holder and reinstall the blades. For me it worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ser33 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 As far as I understand, it is not the blade that creaks, but parts of the holder that shift under pressure from the blade. Because True’s “one-piece holder” is far from being one-piece in reality. A separate plastic holder is somehow attached to the boot and then covered with carbon fiber on top. These are the parts that rub against each other I poured super glue between them and see what happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
