attempting a roces 5th element UFS conversion. HELP!
trying to convert my mates beasty skates to UFS, wondering the best way to go about it, plan atm is jigsaw off the connectors, stick a USD 2 piece soul with the supports sanded down on the front plate to try to compensate for the shape of the sole of the boot without the non UFS soul/frame piece
also, anyway to get the tiny roces hardware still? lol
Waste of time
I have tiny Roces hardware.
find some ufs graal souls, not really sure how high the heel raise is on those, maybe valo or m12 souls would work too
You'll have to sand a lot off and drill holes but you could probably get some Nimh souls attached somehow.
yeh gunna have to measure and drill the T bolt holes, its just the heel raise im worried about!Originally Posted by ryanmatthewdaily
the valo souls sound pretty decent, the heel raise still might be a problem? if i cut up a piece of plastic and sand it to fit the heel and make it flat, could work?
why dont you just saw off the frame of the soul system, then sand out a 1-2mm deep channel for the frame then drill UFS bolt holes? thats the easiest way and if you put on a random soul system it'll look like shit.
the souls are so worn they pretty much need to be replaced anyway, as long as the heel raise is sorted, new souls will look good, m12s with nimh souls look sick
You should have skated them stock with flat setup. This frame looks excellent for flat.
yeh my mate's had them for like 12 years! lol, the h block is UHMW, theyre just very heavy cos of the extra bolts attaching them, and the souls are pretty knackered
Put some UHMW soul wings over the stock souls.
ok... here is how it goes..
Step 1. Purchase a Metal Garbage Can
Step 2. Fill that can with newspapers and lighter fluid
Step 3. Set Fire
Step 4. Throw skates in said fire.
Step 5. Buy Valos
i think the guy from "thisisoul" has done the 5th element ufs conversion, you should try asking.
He used cult souls....
ewww
wtf size are they? i will trade you some aggro blades for those.
A long time ago. I made a pair ufs and I used the juice system they were lighten and slid pretty well
DO NOT DO THIS!
Just buy some M12s or valos. Even if you get it to work, it will skate terribly. There is a reason they spend so much money to make modern skates you know.
