Salomons with Carbon plates

***sharkyROL*** · 29.12.2010, 15:27

Anybody who has any, post pics please. Especially if you have small sizes.
I wanna do mine and I wanted to drool on other setups meanwhile.

Thanks in advance.

Months later with a good amount of skating:

Have fun skating the best skates ever. When I did my setup I didn't really have the right tools. It would be very easy to do and would look a lot more legit with the right gear.

(side note: Canon s90 looks as good as Nikon d3000)

^ those are beautiful. Don't dremel those. Why not just buy more stock Salomon soul plates, they have them on ebay or do what I did but just cut them down to the exact size of stock Salomon plates.

Looks good but I think it defeats the whole purpose which should be to prevent excessive wear on the skates and make them last longer.

The thing is I know I can't skate the stock groove but I wouldn't want to shave the boot either. Maybe there's a way to shave the plate into shape like you did but keep the new groove.

The purpose is to have soul plates buddy.

^ maybe but that would be soooo much work.

I haven't gotten to skate them yet but I've skated Valos since they came out so there's a huge difference.
I've had Salos before, but I skated them with a widebody.
