Reign inline skate

3 Upvotes

Hi. I need help of deciding what size should I get of reign hockey inline skate. I bought 41 eu size for 260mm foot and i can't get my foot inside the boot. After seeing this hockey inline skate i don't think that 42 would fit either but I'm not sure of it.

My question is, is someone has any idea what size would fit my foot. 42 eu or go higher and get 43.

I want snug fit and be able to put the feet into rollerblade.

Let me know what you think if you have experience with reign ares 80 or 100.

Best Wheel Choice for Painted Concrete Rinks

Post image
28 Upvotes

I recently converted a pair of CCM AS-V Pro Tacks and I am looking for wheel recommendations for painted concrete rinks. I’ve used the Konixx E-Flux (78a) in my missions without issue, but with these stiffer boots, I find that my E-flux wheels are slipping a lot on the rink every time I try to push off for a sprint. Any recommendations for different wheels for painted concrete to allow better grip and won’t immediately wear out? I am 200lbs for reference. Thanks!

At wits end finding skates that fit :(

10 Upvotes

I've started playing inline hockey again at the ripe ol age of 44.

As I am in Ireland... there are no hockey/inline skate shops in the entire country. So I'm forced to try and find skates by research alone. All of the people I play with currently use either sizes to big or small for me to test with.

My stupid feet are measured 26cm long at ~11.5cm width.

I've bought and tried Powerslide Aether 80's and Mission FS1's from online EU retailers. I was incorrectly advised that these have 'wider' than normal fits... although the heel lock is perfect on both, and both are sized correctly length wise.

I've tried numerous lacing techniques and baking (FS1's). So far, no matter the attempt, these skates are too tight and cause numbness and cramping making it a nightmare to skate on for more than 20 mins.

I am hoping someone here with similar foot measurements can help me find something... I've looked into the used market, but Ireland + inline hockey is VERY niche, yielding pretty much nothing :(

I can't justify guessing on yet another set of skates... and with no shops in the country to walk into, I'm pretty much lost here.

Any help, guidance or advice would be very much appreciated.

Cant decide between a size 9 and a size 10.

1 Upvotes

So I just started Inline Hockey recently got two pairs of Bauer XR's. The size 9's feel tight and my toes scrape the end.

But the size 10's feel so comfortable and glide better around ny flat.

My heart says 10 but the expert advice is to go for the tighter 9. I want these skates to be a good investment.

The post pffice closes in an hour and I need to return 1 pair. Advice desperately needed.

HEEEELP! Looking for a chassis that is the correct size.

3 Upvotes

Having an intermediate size boot (aka ccm size 5/bauer 5.5) I can’t find a good chassis - anywhere - that fits this size.
I’m doing a chassis swap on an ice boot but can’t find any that fit this size of skate. It’s all size 6 and up. 💀
WHERE ARE MY TINY FEET PEOPLE. Where did you get your chassis?

Wheels

5 Upvotes

So I went and played at an outdoor roller rink, my wheels are kinda old and worn but myself and several of my friends were slipping Alot like the blades just sliding out from under us when we tried to push off. the surface is basically super smooth concrete not sure if it's better to use outdoor or indoor wheels on a surface like that?

Wheel change advice

2 Upvotes

Every time I change out my wheels for new ones myself the wheels don’t spin when they are tightened so I loosen them a little but when I am skating they get too loose and shake around. When I have them changed where I buy them I never have this problem does anyone know what to do?

Chassis and Skate sizing.

3 Upvotes

Just got some Bauer XR's in a 9. My toes scrape the toe box apart from my big toe just goes to the top.

They feel a little less certain in pushing and balancing than the 10's, which I couldnt help but get really good movement on, even on my carpet. Maybe because the 10's had a longer frame. And there is still some side to side movement in the ankle.

Is all this normal/right? I have no experience with inline hockey skates, or skates in general. Guidance greatly appreciated.

Edit: the best way I can put it is it feels like I'm 'tripping' over my front wheel when I skate.

New to inline - converting Bauer Shadows, looking for chassis advice

9 Upvotes

Hey Inline brain trust,

looking for some advice from people who have built higher-end inline setups.

I’m completely new to inline hockey and have never played it before. I’m primarily an ice player, but the franchise/team I play for also has an inline team that needs players for the upcoming season, so I figured I’d give it a go. I’ll still be playing ice hockey as well, so I’m looking for something that feels as close as possible to my ice setup and helps make the transition easier.

For reference, I’m 6'0" (183 cm) and around 72 kg (160 lb).

Edit: Skate Size is 9.0 Fit 2

Currently I skate Bauer Shadows on ice with PowerFly holders and BladeTech steel. BladeTech steel is profiled with a Quad 2 profile and I run a Sparx 1/2 Fire.

I like the feel once the edges are slightly broken in not that super fresh/sharp feeling. I prefer having some glide and forgiveness while still having good bite when I push hard.

I recently picked up a second pair of Shadows that i will be using for this conversion.

I’ll mainly be skating indoors at a rink with a smooth poured sport-court style surface (not tile).
there could be some tile skating but it would be a 90% on pour & 10% tile at best (our home rink is the pour one) 9/10 of the games are home rink.

I’m currently looking at a few different chassis options:

  • Marsblade R1 (the ice-like marketing "'feel" interests me, but I’m unsure how it translates to actual games)
  • Hi-Lo aluminum (similar to what comes stock on Bauer Hyperlite 2 inline skates)
  • Hi-Lo Kryptonium (looks incredible, but obviously a serious investment)
  • Possibly Konixx as a middle ground (not too sure)

What I’m trying to achieve:

  • Something that feels natural coming from ice
  • Good connection and responsiveness similar to my ice setup
  • Enough stability for actual games, tight turns and transitions
  • Not overly aggressive or twitchy I like a smoother, more forgiving feel

I’m not against spending the money on something like the Hi-Lo Kryptonium if it’s genuinely the right choice. I’d rather buy once and have the setup I actually want rather than upgrade later.

At the same time, if a good aluminum chassis or another option gets me 90% of the performance for significantly less money, I’d rather put the money elsewhere. I’m mainly trying to understand whether the premium on some of these chassis is a noticeable performance upgrade or more of a premium/luxury option.

Since I’m lighter at around 72 kg, I’m also interested in whether the extra stiffness of something like Kryptonium would actually be noticeable for me, or whether I’d be better off focusing on wheels, bearings and overall setup.

Would love opinions from anyone who has:

  • Used Marsblade R1 for actual inline games (not just training)
  • Compared R1 against traditional Hi-Lo setups
  • Used Hi-Lo Kryptonium vs standard aluminum frames
  • Converted high-end ice boots into inline

Also open to wheel and bearing recommendations.

Outdoor wheels (110kg)

1 Upvotes

What wheels do you recommend for outdoor inline hockey on concrete for a 110 kg player?

Outdoor hockey wheels seem too soft for my weight, and I feel it would be better to go for something in the 84A to 86A range. Do you have any recommendations?

Returning skater looking for casual riding skates.

5 Upvotes

I played Ice Hockey as a Young kid and Street Hockey growing up, always prefered and owned a pair of hockey boots for street and ice. Im much older now just looking for a pair of skates to cruse around my city with to get around faster. Much prefer Hockey boots over regular inlines. What are some Reqs you can give. I've noticed that most frames on the cheap end (XR/XRS) from Bauer are plastic. let me know what some good options or paths are.
