has anyone tried these race skate,s out ? I hear the 05 model now come,s with regular size bearing,s and 90mm wheel,s and was wondering if these would be a worthwhile buy for the coming marathon season ?
All advice will be considered  |

| Send Lemming a PM, he's considering buying them and seems to have done quite a bit of research... |

Research - not stricly true. I was looking at them for a few reasons
1. Similar boot to the Pilot Pro V (which I also have and is very comfortable)
2. Directly superceded my MAg Elite 3s. I think.
3. Bigger wheels.
I know the boot will fit me. They look like nice skates and CBR had them for 140..
All in all it looks like a good deal. I may be getting some next weekend (29th ish) Happy to write some stuff if I do... |

i found that the boot is a bit too soft - but fast and comfortable. New version has bigger wheels that 04 (what i have)
Warning
heelbreak not that effective untill it wears in a bit |
