Good evening, this is going to be a strange project to some of you but this is something I know it must be achievable and looking for advice.

Basically these skates were converted to inline skates. The outsoles are carbon but not sure what but they are notoriously rubbish and thin. I didn't realise until after how bad they were! I've patched up the edges of the soles but now the chassis is starting to go through the sole. The fact that these were top line skates mean that I don't really want to get rid just yet. I'm looking at doing a repair similar to these:

Apologies I couldn't copy the pictures but those are the links for them. The bottom link is the one I'm trying to resemble the most.

These are pictures of the skates and the area I'm going to try and repair.







I will remove the chassis and re-enforce the sole at the toe/forefoot area aswell as the heel so that there is a balance on both skates but without adding too much weight. I called the guys at easy composites and a very helpful guy there recommended that I can use the rapid repair kit?

What are other peoples opinions and any advice on the best way to do this repair? I've got to try and re-inforce the toebox with something so can use clamps unless that's not needed? How many layers would I need to do the job?

Any advice would be great and I need to start this project sooner rather then later.

Thanks in advance.

Subscribing to that one, I'm having similar issues with outsole, rivet hole has gone too big.
Anything that did it for you?

I know this is from 2 years ago but I done the repair and have used them eversince.

I used the rapid repair kit to do the repair but had to reinforce the sole because it had collapsed so bad.

I filled the gap and re-inforced the sole to make it level with resin. Waited until the resin was hard then followed the video for the repair. I did 4 layers but think that was a little too many layers.

I'm now onto my second pair to reinforce bevause I have enough of the resin left i'm only ordering the twill and the film and only doing 2 layers instead of 4.

Never had a problem but used the peel ply over the repair so its a matt black. The next pair will be gloss.
