How-To Hockey - Replacing Hockey Skate Runners

[CrazyRoflAwome]

Can you replace a chaise on a roller hockey skate

[warriorshockey5]

boot sorry

[cyris1998]

my skates dont have a bulit under the foot bed or on the holder...how do i change the runner then?

[HockeyGiantdotcom]

@cyris1998 - What model skates do you have? Some of the introductory model skates have a molded one piece runner/holder and cannot be replaced.

[cyris1998]

@HockeyGiantdotcom I have tuuk lightspeed pro's....I have Bauer Supreme one20 skates.

@cyris1998 - Your Lightspeed Pro's come with a molded holder and runner. You must replace the entire holder/runner combo. It would more than likely be less expensive to get new skates all together.

@HockeyGiantdotcom Thank you very much.

Should have a disclaimer on here, the method depends on the make and vintage of the runner. I have Nike Bauer skates that are about 7 years old, so not ancient, and if you tried this technique you'd ruin your casings (because it would come part way off, making you think you're succeeding, then after you broke some pieces you'd realise there was a second nut and screw at the front).

@goldenballs2278 8mm on lightspeed 2 or sometimes 5 mm allen bolt on lightspeed

rbk 4k pumps dont have the black cap, and my blade is cracked

[xcrossxfadex]

mine doesnt have a black thing under my footbed

[feb225]

@xcrossxfadex mine also :(

[CypressXJ]

its the same as the back bolt your just doing it in the front

[billboy1616]

Its all well and good doing this but what about Graf,CCm,mission and older Bauer (to name a few ) skates theres way more than one way to change a skate runner so it kinda makes this video a bit pointless unless you show them all

[CypressXJ]

well since hockeygiant is run by bauer that was my only option so the video is not pointless...

[billboy1616]

I can see where your coming from but surely bauer still do some skates with the old tuuk custom + runners it would be really useful and much appreciated if you could show people how to get at the front bolt of these as it can be very hard to get to

[mortaldemon1]

i doubt most people still have skates that old, this appeals to 80% of the people on here

[billboy1616]

oh you'd be surprised i love the old bauer supremes and i'm quite sure i'm not the only one if 5000 supremes are good enough for paul kariya then why not everyone else oh and to CypressXJ have you tried getting to the front bolt its usualy so far in the toecap its very hard to get to without special tools .not trying to start anything just pointing these things out

@billboy1616 They don't need to show all the methods, but at least say which skates or blade types this works for.

[billboy1616]

@tml4873 Thats a very good point
