I would recommend a special cloth tape for covering sharp things inside boot, I dont know how its called correctly, but its like a very sturdy cloth that you can tape on things. All hardware stores must have one, I use it for my skates and it works flawlesly
In my rain bearings I used to put a lot of lithium grease and general grease mixture. The lithium grease is resistant to water. It you put in it enough it seals gaps quite well. The grease also makes the rattling sound from the bearing disappear. It's a bit slower than if you use oil but I don't want to race in the rain just go from A to B. It also keeps out the debris because it gets stuck in the grease at the gap and don't gets to the balls,
You can skate in the rain?! I went over some wet patches on a dry day and that alone convinced me it's not feasible but i guess there's levels beyond what i imagined
I'd try waterproof socks for mountain biking, like those from GripGrab or Giro. BTW they say waterproof but they mean water resistant because nothing's waterproof :)
You can take a shopping plastic bag, put liner in it then put whole thing inside skate boot, sure water will get to boot base, but liner and foot will be dry (from rain water, but probably wet from sweat)
yes i took out the shock absorber. I am not a fan of shockabsorbers, you dont need them if you have a good insole. If you want to change the angle of your skate you can do it with pitch control or with an heel raiser.
And since Im spamming comments already anyway - a legit question: I've done all I can to make myfeet liner last as long as it can, but hardest part is to keep inside layer from wear and tear, its as thin as some sports sock and those burn through superfast. So the question is how thick is intuition liner inside layer, does it last longer than cheaper liners?
@Thisissoul If you have a perfect doublepush technique to wear them semi-equally then sure I guess. Just recently I cleaned wheel bearings, oiled em, rotated wheels to get rid of a rocker and now it feels like they ride less pleasant, which must be other factors since it makes no sense. But if you never touch wheels (unless bearings die) you wont have this type of negative placebo.
I was at your shop yesterday :) thanks so much for the advice from the other guys. I hope I can skate in Amsterdam again soon
Ik ga stuk 😂 van FEED naar FEER 😂😂
Got to visit when I went to Amsterdam a few years ago. Amazing shop!!

skating in the rain is no problem! and it is good for your technique

smart!
So you replaced the inlay of your Next? Did you fill up the indent where the shockabsorber was or is your heel lower now? 🤔

Feet*
that's a nice jacket!

the thickness of the intuition is about 5mm I think
it definitely last longer then cheaper liners
Those wheels would looove some rotation
I would not love the rotation though. I love the natural wear of wheels
