I literally just got mine done yesterday. I don't see any holes, so I assume they line up perfectly.

Awesome, thanks bud!

The outsole on my RBZ skates is starting to peel off a bit.

Anyone else having this issue?

[WheelSnipe]

Only issue I have with mine is the eyelets, soles are still in great shape.

I know mine are pro stock on my cls they asked me what types of eyelets I wanted but it's not even an option on the rbz pros because they know it's a problem was saying they should come on a 750 doller retail skate

[WheelSnipe]

Waxed laces help a lot, but normal laces arent even an option for me anymore...they snap too easily cause of the dented eyelets. Kind of a big problem that need to be fixed.

Whelp, this just started happening last week for me. Not sure what to do about it =\

If still within the warranty period contact ccm. Is it wear and tear, or is it just coming apart?

Coming apart. I can't find the receipt so they won't do anything it sounds like.

See if your LHS can pull it up. If that doesn't work try using the credit card statement from that month.

For those of you who have skated in these for a long time and put them through hell, what's the verdict? How does durability stack up against the competition?

[WheelSnipe]

I've skated two pairs of these completely into the ground Mince, and now working on my third. Absolutely no problems with the tendon guard, which was a nice surprise coming from Bauer. Boots can take an absolute beating and nothing will happen. However, there is a known issue with the eyelets, they almost disintegrate after a lot of use, so they need to be replaced after like, a year + of heavy use. Also the stock steel is trash and breaks really easily (three times I've used the stock steel, and three times it's broken). Other than that, these skates are beauties and I won't skate in anything else.

Thanks Chris. Were the eyelets a problem with PS ones, retail, or both? I picked up a lightly used pair and I was a little worried about stitching around the tendon guards. reinforced it with the speedy and its good to go. Mainly I was wondering if I should start looking for a backup pair or wait a few more months.

[Dupes]

The ousole also come off eventually. If you love them, get a back up a pair.

[ml_han]

after 1 yr of moderate to heavy use (RBZ90) Ive seen issues  with outsole separation, the eyelets and the tendon guards, but nothing overly serious. the boot is still very stiff and I've replaced the steel once after it cracked in the middle. got a second pair recently.

[WheelSnipe]

Both retail and PS, the eyelets went on both pairs. I had a bit of a problem with the outsole as well as Dupes mentioned, but I caught it and fixed it before it got out of control.

[KidCoyote]

Just throwing this out there... For the retail price of these wouldn't you expect these to last upwards of 3 years?

I myself owned a pair of these for a week. I skated on them once and hated them and then started to read about all of the durability issues so I ditched them rather than getting used to them.
