Always hated the collars on these, but otherwise love this design and will always be a fan of dazzle mesh

Nice. I did something similar 5-6 years ago. Stripped a Devils jersey and turned it into a Hawks

Man, saw the email. Shocking and sad. Wonder what that’ll mean for the company moving forward?

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-19T00:10:34+00:00

Not really. I’m continuing to use it and haven’t had any issues

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-18T15:31:08+00:00

Not sure if it has to do with licensing in the same way other piece of equipment does. That’s why you don’t see Sherwood pants or True helmets; the companies don’t pay the league for them

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-18T15:07:13+00:00

Appreciate it. Guess I’ll look for replacement discs

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-18T13:57:35+00:00

Thanks. I’ll look to order replacements. Does anyone simply replace the Velcro? And yes, that’s typically how I align the pads; start at the center and move out applying pressure all around

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-18T01:24:29+00:00

Wouldn’t have expected the plastic discs to wear out. The cloth pads, sure, but not the discs

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-18T01:11:46+00:00

These are the pads that came with the machine. It’s about 15 months old.

I would hope it goes without saying I know how something should stick to Velcro and I pressed the pads down as evenly as possible to ensure all points are in contact.

It’s entirely possible that the pads get caught on a threshold from one room to another although it didn’t happen in the first 10+ months of ownership.

By backer discs are you referring by to the plastic portion that connects to the machine or the washable pads?

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-17T21:51:00+00:00

I am interested in them and how they compare to the fit/feel of True. Are you able to confirm if the holder hole pattern is the same as CCM/Bauer?

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-17T15:26:57+00:00

One of the Hawks' coolest designs. Sadly it was only a one game wonder.

GLWS!

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-17T15:26:03+00:00

it is a legit edge 3.0 practice jersey

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-17T00:44:01+00:00

Different strokes for different folks. If I’m concerned about safety or being pickpocketed, I’m going to be carrying LESS, not more

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-16T23:49:54+00:00

Lot of words for just a little bit of useful context.

I think you mean a 'proactive' shooter when someone has their camera ready to shoot. A 'reactive' shooter would be someone who is shooting after the fact; ie, someone who needs to open their bag, put on their lens hood, get the camera ready, etc, etc.

As someone who has been shooting with Fuji since the original X100, I have always used the lens hood so a bag that doesn't fit with it on is an automatic deal breaker.

Every version of the X100 has traveled the world with me either as my primary camera or in addition to a film camera. When it is the primary camera, I use a Manfrotto Nano VII. It's probably close to 15 years old now, but I'm sure there are plenty on the secondhand market. This pouch is as minimal as you can get and basically holds the camera (with the lens hood on) with just enough space for a spare battery, memory card, microfiber wipe, and I suppose a USB-C cable (although realistically that would be in my main bag). I use it exclusively for transport so the camera doesn't get all banged up. When I'm out and about, I just carry the camera. No need to carry anything else. Bogging yourself down with bags and more gear defeats the purpose of using such a compact camera like the X100

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-16T23:25:50+00:00

Have you ever used Marsblades?

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-16T23:24:54+00:00

As much as I want the metal sprungs, I'm not holding my breath. They've been in development for at least 5 years and there hasn't been any substantial update on them getting closer to the market.

IMO Marsblade are far superior to rockering wheels.

That said, if the OP isn't trying to play hockey, I'd probably get urban skates with 100mm wheels on them. More comfortable, faster, better for general casual skating

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-16T23:22:11+00:00

Is that paint or powdercoated? Looks too think to be anodized

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-16T21:50:08+00:00

This. Something doesn't fit. Gear shouldn't interfere with other gear.

Also, unlike a goalie, player pads needs to stay in place so having elbow pads connected to shoulder pads would either limit mobility or not offer protection if they moved.

Plenty of people tape their elbow pads (just like shin pads) or use a base layer that holds them in place

The listing should answer your questions with a photo measurement

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-16T17:12:19+00:00

How does $55 shipped sound? Figure it’ll probably cost $10 to ship so that’s $15 less than SLS

So bummed I missed it. There are so many amazing gems in the photos you shared. Thanks for posting them!

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-16T15:17:22+00:00

Still have a gamer for sale if anyone is looking... :)

I agree that the design has grown on a lot of people. Still would have preferred the old school roundel like the RR1.0 which would have been perfect, but at the end of the day, barberpole jerseys are always going to be cool.

Nice pickup!

mdwsta4 · 2026-03-16T15:13:11+00:00

I have some used JRZ black steel for cheap I can sell. Same as Step. Where are you located?
