I've been to that one the last few years. Unfortunately had to skip it this year, so I'm jealous. It's always a blast!

Love these. https://bit.ly/3Ts8WR2

Jesus that price. Instant buy if it wasn't that high. Been keeping an eye out for a pair of those, or ideally a shell.

I use that t-guard felt tongue too, haven't had any issues in the 4 years I've used them on my skates. Part of the leather (pleather?) is starting to rip, but it just seems cosmetic. I think if I got a new pair, I'd go with the same tongue. The new thin tongue they use just seems weird and uncomfortable compared to the felt.

 

When I switched over to True skates I installed XS holders. Never had an issues with Bauer, but figured it would be easier/cheaper to find Step steel for XS (and it has). No complaints these last 3 years

Yeah this was my thought too. But I'm hearing that the new Bauer steel is actually on par with Step, and it seems like majority of people like those holder vs the XS, I'm just not sure why or what I'd even get out of it vs others. I also just kind of like to tinker and try new things.

The new JRZ steel is on par with Step Steel and fits both the XS and Edge holders. If you want a stiffer holder, go with the XS or Powerfly. If you want something a bit more flexible, go with the Edge.

I can honestly say that I don't even know what difference it would make. The biggest reason I'd want to replace the Shift holder is just to have something more standard.

I'm so tempted to replace my now 2 (or 3?) generations old Trues early next year. I've stuck with the Shift holder this time, but I think I may switch it up if I do go for another pair. What I can't decide on is which holder to choose. With Step being so hard to find for Tuuks, it makes sense to go with the XS holder. But I've heard the new Bauer steel is just as good as Step now, so maybe just go with the Powerfly holder. Too many decisions.
