Nope. They're UFS frames off the ST-Feinbergs.

It's been pouring rain here the last few days so I decided to mod my skates a little more seeing as I have shit else to do.

I decided that the flat cut cuffs weren't really working out the way I had intended so I decided to take them down to a v-cut.

I also added a 45 degree strap to help prevent heal lift.

People used to dye wheels a lot. Never seemed to hurt them.

Looks like a good job. Probably the best skating Nimhs in the land. As well as Nimhs can skate anyway.
You should cut and sew the back of the skin to match the cuff or at least be flat. That would look amazing.

Ty =) I'll think about cutting the skins down to match the v-cut but, I'm not the best at sewing so I don't know how good the end product would be. I still need to cut the eyelets off the boot to remove some unnecessary weight and give a little more room for freedom of foot. Only problem is I cant find the damn cutting tool to my dremel.

How tough is the boot? a nice sharp hobby knife or box cutter should do the trick. I use a hobby knife and some hockey stick tape as a guide line. just take your time I did this with some M12's and will be doing it to another M12 boot that recently arrived.

It's not that the boot is tough, I'm just not as good with a blade as I am with the dremel. I picked up another cutting tool at walmart yesterday. Hopefully I can find some time today to finish my project and get some skating in.

V cut the skins then take them to a sewing place and get sum piping sowen on round the top

I finished the fabrication part of my project nimhs. I decided against shaving the eyelets off and decided to just split the toebox instead. They're easily the most comfortable skates I've ever rolled in now.

Finished product.
