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: https://www.instagram.com/p/BKThVMMjYh2/?taken-by=hockeyrepairshop https://www.instagram.com/p/-ZFpCdOPC4/?taken-by=hockeyrepairshop 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.
