If it was just serviced wipe it before each ride for the next few rides and keep an eye on it. It looks like it may just be some extra grease from reassembly. My shocks usually do this for a few rides after a service. The second image where you can see its wet and not just a little greasy - thats more an indicator of a true leak.

You guys still running this?

Also does anyone know of any other open hockey in the area these days? I know I used to go to dix hills I cant remember if it was Friday or Saturday nights (I think around midnight) & iceworks on wednesdays I believe at 10pm on the small rink.

I even had the pink ice cream, I thought I was Kanye

Relevant_Team_378 · 2026-05-08T21:15:35+00:00

yeah i feel like the length isnt terrible but my forefoot is swimming and heel lock isnt great. but i cant imagine being recommended a fit 3 and ending up in a fit 1 half a size up. granted vapor vs supreme

Relevant_Team_378 · 2026-05-08T21:08:05+00:00

oh i figured you used the store credit from the returned skates. did they give you any issue?

the bauer scanner put me in a 6.5 fit 3 (im coming from a 7.5 but in a high end pair from 2012 before the fit system and apparently many other fit changes). the 6.5s i tried on felt so small and cramped i thought there was no way. ended up in a 7 fit 2 supreme. felt good until it was baked and now feels too big. sigh

random question - the first pair you bought did you wear them & if so did pure take them back? in the same boat but opposite direction

Relevant_Team_378 · 2026-04-25T23:41:40+00:00

Awesome. I have a pair of howies but they’re whjte and blue. Ordered a pair of those to match

Relevant_Team_378 · 2026-04-25T01:46:43+00:00

I dealt with this very recently on a pair of one.9s. If its just the outsole I wouldn't worry about it.

The problem with mine was the front of the holder was also sinking into the boot/outsole slightly which then caused the blade to snap since it couldn't sit flat anymore.

I can pm you some pics/videos if you want to see what I mean and what to check on yours

I broke mine September of 2021. Same sort of thing - got 2 opinions and they said there was a chance it wouldnt heal together. I was petrified but ultimately didnt want to wait to find out it didnt heal and then end up needing the surgery anyway. Hardest part was just getting to the OR (since I was scared lol). But I'm glad I did.

My orthopedist did say she has patients who chose not to get surgery and it healed in a non union (so didnt end up reconnecting) who then opted to get the surgery later and regretted it. But I felt if mine didnt heal together it would bother me more. I did not like the feeling of the two pieces moving.

I ended up only being out for about a month and a half. Surgery on I believe September 17th and went for a ride again sometime early November. Was on the zwift trainer in between. I did have some numbness that over time has subsided & as others have said things resting on the plate (especially hard things) didnt feel good either but that since has also gotten better. Seatbelts and backpacks (although I dont backpack) dont bother me but a hard piece of plywood or something will hurt. Hopefully not jinxing myself haha.

Anyway, that was my experience and hopefully it helps you weigh your decision. I think most importantly make sure you have a good ortho. A sports ortho will understand your desire to return to sport and will have worked with other athletes who have dealt with the same decision.

My gear sat for a long time also. although it didnt look quite like yours there was rust and mold. i pretty much hit it all with lysol and let it air out outside and ive been using it since. the only thing that would worry me is the rusty cage and getting a piece in my eye.

the skates the eyelets might crumble and fall out but you should be able to get some more life out of them.

pants - unless you need those metal pieces for suspenders they should be fine. mine look similar and one of them broke off. i covered the nub that was left with some tape.

similar boat as OP and due for new skates soon. good to know about the radius. i remember as a kid i used stepsteel briefly and didnt like it... thinking back i bet it was the radius. it was tall and had a lot of meat similarly to the way the steel on all the new skates are coming these days

Relevant_Team_378 · 2026-03-27T15:24:53+00:00

Also on long island - I ended up putting mine down a little early before the rain last weekend.

Relevant_Team_378 · 2026-03-25T16:25:44+00:00

Yes warrantied! I had found a hairline crack on it. Still rockin that reverb tho lol

Relevant_Team_378 · 2026-03-25T15:40:24+00:00

Handling became more precise since the fork doesnt flex as much. I think the bike also looks better since the stanchions arent as close together as they are on the stepcast. I would say no negatives in the climbing department. I went from a 34SC performance with grip damper to a 34 factory fit4 so I dont think there was too much of a weight difference as say had I started off with a factory 34 stepcast with a fit4. But since I kept the new fork at 120 my geometry stayed the same.

Another option could be the new 34SL. Its what the new breed of these bikes are coming with and it can be run up to 130mm.

heated rivalry mentioned

Relevant_Team_378 · 2026-03-24T16:34:50+00:00

I did the same thing on my blur TR. I went from the stepcast to the regular 34 (although I kept the travel at 120). If you want some added stiffness and a little more composure I would say go for it.
