nike chassis(frame) questions

[HockeyMonkey]

recently i just bought the nike shoenen skates... well anyways i luv the skates except 4 one major problem, the chassis material(composite) has some o the worst durability i have ever encountered on inline skates/ hockey skates, mine are heavily damaged and i was wondering where i can get a new nike chassis, that is metal something very durable. i would also like 2 know which chassis from other skates are compatible with my skates. I do play hockey on these skates so a metal chassis is a must. ( i used 2 have hockey skates (mission d4's) but i did not like the fact that the ankle wasnt stiff enough and after an hour of skating my feet are in so much pain i can barely ride. thanks 4 da help.by the way my skates are a size 11.

If using for hockey, you most definitely would have problems with durability. These skates are not designed for hockey at all and taking pucks off those chassis will result in them simply cracking and breaking which I assume you are finding.

You can put other 165mm spacing fitness frames on there, but you can't put a hockey chassis on those skates. I would suggest getting a hockey skate if using for hockey. The boot isn't even good for hockey as if taking a slap shot on that boot, it is going to hurt pretty bad. Even if putting another fitness frame on there, it probably will get dinged and/or bent pretty easily.

Sorry I don't have better news, but my opinion is that you need to get yourself some hockey skates! See the hockey section of the site.

Thanks for the post!

i thank u 4 ur speed reply. actually my problem wit the existing frame is not cracking from shots actually it holds up decently 2 that, however it does have a problem of the composite material near the 1st 2 wheel axle housings of rubbing off during sharp turns, i get this problem with all skates i wear but i find the metal (aluminum) frames have the longest life and i dont play hockey THAT often, they are more used for fitness/recreational, i do have mission d4's that are still mostly servicable though im looking for the unique axles that they need, i do not play at the competitive lvl its more something i do for fun. i was wondering if the k2 series frame u guys sell will be compatible with the shoenen boot as it looks like it uses the hi-lo design and the shoenen boot bottoms are flat, thanks again for taking the time with my problem.

The above link will take you to the Mission axles. Should find what you need there.

As for the frames, I don't have one here to try to check out the spacing and make sure it would work. We're due to order another one in, but it won't be here for a couple weeks. Feel free to hit me back up on that to check on it if you like. I'll try to remember and get another post up on that.

Thanks!

If marked 'sold out', that means the vendor is sold out and the item discontinued.

If it says yes, or 2+, then it is in stock or we have more than two

If it says 9 days, that means it takes us 9 days to get that particular item.

Thanks,
Stan
