    After all of this I found your Video and I love how you also did not give up and found a way to fix the issue :) great mindset!

    I had quite a bit of an an upper inner ankle problem which I solved by adding a pool of hot melt glue under the clasp of the the upper buckle on my FR1s. I also trimmed the top thick upper strap off a few cm. This keeps a little space between the plastic outer shell and the liner around my ankle area and reduces the pressure in that area but still allows the top buckle to be tightened to the desired level.

    I love your dedication to this skate. I'm just beginning and have ordered a pair of MF500s from Decathlon here in Canada. I play hockey and have experience skating but I haven't touched a pair of roller blades since I was a kid. In addition to cruising around, I'd also really like to play roller hockey. I've looked into hockey inline skates but it seems like you have to dish out a fair bit of money for anything not crap, especially for hockey specific brands. The MF500s seemed like the best balance that was available locally. Do you think that the MF500s would perform okay for a sport like roller hockey? Thanks for any insight!

  • @kinc128
    @kinc128 5 месяцев назад

    Thanks for this fix, it eased the pain a fair bit, but it's still there. I find that there is a plastic sheet inside the liner that wraps around the achilles. The inner end of this sheet is what digs into my ankle when i tighten the buckles properly. I love these skates to bits, using them mosty with a rockered 4x90 setup, but this ankle pain really limits how long and often i can skate. For this sole reason i am looking for another boot. Anybody else had this same issue? Maybe a solution for it, or a different liner that fits this boot well?

    • @RichHayterSkater
      @RichHayterSkater  6 месяцев назад +1

      Do you mean the axel bolts for the wheels? If so, you would need to switch out the entire frame as these frames do not have threaded axel holes.
      This was a complaint I had with these skates I ,initially, as having to use two Allen keys was frustrating.
      However, I’ve since learned that most of the time, I can use a single Allen key and simply press my thumb against the opposite side to stop it rotating. There are very few occasions now when I require twoAllen keys.
      I hope the helps.!👍

      I understand what you mean. I don’t think you need to purchase a specific type of spacer, any regular spacer you can buy online from a skate retailer should work with these.
      As for frames, 3x110 is ok but my personal favourite is 4x90 rockered. It’s a versatile setup that offers a nice blend of speed and manoeuvrability, and it’s a lot of fun!

    The bolt is one problem, the other if you tie it firmly the inner shell bends inward too much and cuts into the liner. The edge of the shell is too sharp and it shouldn't bend that much.
    In my case that's where a liner wore out and the shell rubbed before and above my ankle bone until it bled. It happened both on my feet.

    • @RichHayterSkater
      @RichHayterSkater  Год назад +1

      This is good to know.
      With my first set, I heated them and bent them outward. Initially I thought this made no difference, however, when combined with covering up the bolt, I now feel this would be significantly better than simply covering the bolt alone.

      The protectors I use are pretty flat and soft, you may have to try a few different things to find something that works. I even considered sticking a thin strip of cardboard across it.
      It needs to be firm enough to protect your ankle from it, but not too thick or tough that it’s going to cause a new pressure point.

      @@BlackyRay_Patrick Kinda... I still feel the best way over the rough is to negotiate the cleanest line through rather than simpling trying to bulldoze over it, and a 4x80 generally allows me to do that a little be easier than with a larger-wheeled, less nimble skate. Each have their advantages, imho.

    I can't recommend this enough vitamin d3 and k2 together for bone pain... after a few months it's like you have new ankles lol the k2 works with d3 to drive calcium into your bones

      Forget about skating, before supplementing, I used to hurt just walking around or being on my feet 😅
