Hey all, 

 

Question, I am putting powerflys/Tuuks on my new True SVH customs. Was hoping to get some feedback from anyone's experience from doing this with their True's..

 

The main issue I am having is having to redrill a couple of holes as some dont line up at all and some are half aligned. The other issue I am unsure of is the fact that the gap at the front of the holder is a little big and Im wondering if this gap could somehow mess with the durability of the holder. See below for the area I am mentioning. I think once I rivet the holder in and bake the skate it will give a bit and sit more flush but I am just wondering if anyone has any experience putting tuuks on their Trues and had any feedback one way or the other. 

 

Long time no post, hope everyone is doing good! 

 

Thanks, 
Rob

I can't speak for Powerfly holders, but had no issues mounting Lightspeed Edge holders on Sharks_Throwaway's SVH skates. https://www.instagra.../p/CnC8IvPyU1O/

 

Since the True holders are symmetrical while the Tuuks are not, some holes will not line up. I recommend epoxying those holes and re-drilling, as well as using thin plastic inserts under the insoles so the rivets can grab on properly.

I would go all coppers as well. Steel rivets get loose with Tuuks and XS

I think my scan is creating the gap as I am getting the same on on the edge holders as I am with the new powerfly (my foot supinates so my boot shows that) - I was more or less just wondering if anyone else ran into that. 

 

As for the epoxy, do you have any recommendations? I was on the fence on epoxying or just leaving some of them open and widening the others but with your recommendation, Im thinking its probably safer

I'd recommend epoxy, especially on Trues with their thin midsoles. I've used this with good results: https://www.acehardw...rc=ds&gclsrc=ds
