Comments:Great skates, until you try and change the wheels, and find out the goons who put these
skates together must have expected these to be "lifetime" wheels". I stripped the screw on
one wheel, and now need to figure out how the heck to get it out.
Overall good comfortable skates, but the axle thing really has me ticked.

Comments:I was a little suspicious about the pump but it really makes the skate feel much more comfortable. I
haven't had problems with the Rink Rat Hot Shot wheels themselves, they seem to be holding up fine plus the grip is exceptional
for 200lb guy. The only problem I have had and others, who have the skate, is the screws that hold the wheels on are too soft.
The hex socket in the head strips out too easily and the fact that the factory must of used an impact wrench to put the screws on
also didn't help. So I had drill out the stripped screws to replace them. Also heard of rivet problems with these skates but I haven't
seen it on mine with about 10 games under my belt.

Comments:Got these skates recently and they have totally surpassed my expectations. So comfortable didnt have
to break in at all played 2 hour session straight out of the box and not one bit sore. I have had nike/bauer and missions before
but I think I will be using reebok from here on in the comfort and performance is far better someone said weight is slighty more
but thats BS because you wont even notice. overall i definetely recommend these skates

Comments:Got these skates to replace Nikes that i have had for a couple of years. Love the skates! Dealer said
skate
is a little heavy compaired to others, but I didnt notice. Wheels are super sticky/grippy and soft. So if you play on a place where
you
need to soft wheel, you dont need to change them out. Great skates!

Comments:not to long ago i bought the RBK 6k pump (07 green model) and it is a pretty good skate but after a
while
of playing in them my foot started to hurt pretty quickly and the rink rat hot shot wheels don't make the skate much better. and
since the 7k dusk pump has the hot shot wheels you will be buying new wheels pretty soon after using them. But without the
pump
i would die the pump on the skate gives a great loose or tight fit depending on how i feel that day. But the pump is terrific i
couldn't live without RBK pump skates! And the wheel configuration is great you get great acceleration with the 80mm in the
back
the 78mm in the middle and the 72mm in the front. Well i hope i was helpful.
(and i am a horrible speller so if my words are spelled wrong i don't care.)
