t-blade Tutorial

[@andrefischer5681]

Dear t-blade fans, it is true that assembly is no longer free. At the time we recorded the video, at the beginning of the season, that was still the case. But we also have costs that have risen steadily in recent years and we have to work to cover costs. Normal orders via the configurator are still assembled free of charge. If the system is bought from us, we have decided to charge €9.99 for shoes that you send in yourself, so that at least the material is paid for. If neither the shoe nor the material was bought from us, the assembly costs €24.99 with normal rivets and €29.99 with copper rivets in the back. We have always offered this service. We hope you understand. Andre from t-blade

Hello, i recently order tblades and an assembly, but i don't know how i am supposse to send my boots and if it will cost anything more, can you help me?

[@andrefischer5681]

@@Geets64 hi, if you buy the system on our site in the configurator you have paid the system, the mounting and the shipping back to you. So you have only sent the skate to us in Germany. From what Country you are?

“T-Blade is not cheaper…even tho its my sponsor…” Straightforward honesty is EXACTLY what makes buy your product and support the company

[@VisualForceX]

The tblades are awesome for so many reasons, but also sometimes very disappointing. The metallic stabilizers get scratched way too easily (and they actually came a bit scratched out of the box). If you are not careful when tightening the screws, the paint will peel off and reveal the yellow base color. The screws are fragile. One of the steel screws on my left skate broke after a month of usage, as it managed to screw out of the socket from skating for 2h. Thankfully I found a replacement screw which is normally used for house drawers, and it fits well costing only 0.02$. Screws need to be tightened every 3-4h on ice. The clip that sits on the back of the skate fell off in a week. The black carbon holders aren't actually black, instead they also have a layer of paint that starts to slowly peel off after a month. The stabilizers are fragile and wonky. Apart from the negatives, the sound, the feel, the fact you can replace the runners, the look, the lightweight feel, everything is amazing. If you have money to spare, I would recommend getting tblades, but also replacement parts for each element of the skate. The parts are unfortunately cheaply produced.

[@therah6655]

what screw and nut did you use for the replacement?

[@VisualForceX]

@@therah6655 Idk I went to a store which specializes in selling screws and showed them the tblade screw. It was a screw for a drawer or something

[@christianl.5090]

Ich benutze das t-blade system seit vielen Jahren und bin nicht so ein krasser Freestyler wie du, aber es ist absolut das beste System und alle Vorteile, die du genannt hast stimmen zu 100%! Ich finde richtig gut, dass man jemanden von t-blade kennenlernt und André sich vor die Kamera setzt.

😍

[@blazehenryson]

I love Tblade. I normally swap the blades out every 40-45 hours of on ice time. Just make sure if you are out of country like (USA) bulk buy extra runners to save on S&H costs.

[@Ceeberic]

Thanks for that code bro, just bought myself a pair

[@marcelhoffner2284]

i start with the T-blade system now i got neer graf boots with normal runners and i cant get used to the normal runners so i was in a shop of my trust and changed the holder to a t-blad holder :D

[@fussel31]

I got into TBlade cuz i got them from my parents at christmas i think 2015 oder 2016. Just the biggest thing is that where ever you are you can choose the size of your blades. for breaking i think for hockey if tblades get hit they might suffer but mostly i guess tblades are used by freestylers or just normal skaters

[@t-bladede]

Hi, so t-blade also works for hockey, I've had it myself for over 10 years and I only broke a holder and blade, and that can happen to you with a normal holder too.

[@fussel31]

@@t-bladede Ah cool, good to know thanks :)

[@alexzandonatti1194]

Today I discovered the t-blades, and my heart is racing 😂😀

[@the_beachboy8400]

Moin echt super Videos von dir, bin jetzt wieder von T-Blades zurück auf normale Kufen, hat aber nichts mit der Qualität zu tun hab damals die aller erste und die Schuhe bekommen als sie ganz neu auf dem Markt waren immer Mega zufrieden da mit immer S-9 gefahren =).. Bin aber den CCM Schuhe wenigstens treu geblieben ;) Mach weiter so vllt sieht man sich mal auf dem Ice ;)

Danke dir😁

[@elBotillo]

I want to change my regular blade system with those round holes styles, how I do that ? I’m on Minnesota, I got a Bauer not sure what model, not new but in great condition and I love them,I just beginning to ice skate but I want to have so fun in the winter. Please tell me what I have to do to do that change and thank you, great info videos

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

You can go to a skate shop and ask them to Import it and exchange it for you. It's called t-blade

[@QuitsGosling644]

there are still questions i have to ask and one of them is that i wanna know how it is with different shoe sizes and that the t blades have more bolts

[@joopiepookie]

Does it matter how much the stabilizers screws are tightened? I noticed that they weren't quite too tight so I'm not sure if i should leave it or tighten them a little

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Tight them up as they were delivered, maybe a bit more but definitely not too tight

[@bastiansantana1215]

Hey alpine ice, I was wondering if I can bake my tblades?I have the Bauer 3.5x tblades and it really hurts at the ankle area. I was worried because I have heard stories that it is very common for them to melt. My friend baked them once at the hockey shop and they melted.

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

80° Celsius or less should not be a problem🤔

[@bastiansantana1215]

@@AlpineIceFreestyle thanks for the help, have you baked your t-blades at that temperature?

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Yes, but I have a carbon fiber holder

[@VodooMamaJouJou]

Can you install the complete kit at home? On any skates? Im looking foward to order the install kit

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Normally yes, but you will need some tools

[@f5b_hq]

When you travel, how do you carry your blades without damaging them?

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

On the skates in skateguards. For the replacements I bought some very cheap skateguards and keep the runners in them

[@scottcameron3341]

Once you get used to the way they cut through the Ice nothing compares.

[@nathanvigil4273]

How are these for ice hockey? Wanting to get into freestyling but also want a blade than can work for both

[@ericans6323]

I use it for ice hockey . You can use Tblades for booth. But i recommend you to choose M 13 Blades for ice hockey.

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Agree👌

[@Geets64]

Hey little question, how do i send my skates to t blade ? I didn't see it written anywhere, and i kinda don't want to translate the entire website

i planning to get tblades. do i need to buy new blades if the blades are bad? and where can i buy them?

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Yes you have to buy New ones and you can buy them at www.t-blade.com

[@fuesse]

Which runners are premounted on the prebuild skates? If i bought the XL-S size 43EU, which length and sharpness will the runners have? Didnt find any info bout that. The discount doesnt work yet indeed, like someone already said.

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

If you dont order different runners, it will be M15. I dont know the lenght for every size. The Code will be corrected tomorrow. Sorry, not my fault😅

[@fuesse]

@@AlpineIceFreestyle alright, thank you, no problem. Keep it up

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Now the code is working👌

[@t-bladede]

If you write to us, we will be happy to provide you with information about which runner is installed, or you can write in the comments when you place your order which variation you would like.

[@fussel31]

Dude der Clip auf Beton hat mir im Herzen weh getan :(

[@f5b_hq]

How sharp is S 11 runners in normal sharpening scale? 3/8 ?

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

3/8 is compareable to tblade 9 The numbers of tblade are the radius in mm

[@sergeykrukovski4011]

Concerning stability, the rear part of the holder, especially the latest ring of it seems really weak macanically designed. Landing from high jump on rear part of it could really break it. You should be careful with it, land only on the middle part of the blade.

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

I jump 2m over Ramps with it and the best jumper in the World Hit 2,45m with it yesterday. We never had any issues...

[@Zee-yw7vq]

The discount code doesnt work tho.. at least not for me

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

I will check that

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

[@funkyis-funkydoes6912]

T-Blades have were around back in the 80's and didn't stay around long for a reason! They failed back then so hopefully history doesn't repeat itself.

Should a novice start with a t blade? I’ve not ice skated seriously for 20 years. I skated for 30 mins about 3 years ago. I consider myself a novice again until I build up my skills again.

One day maybe I will be able to use this style of blade, they look so much nicer than a traditional blade, unfortunately I am basically double your weight so I have doubts that the durability of t-blade would be nearly as good for me.

[@t-bladede]

@@funandadventure9472 Hi, it is correct that the assembly was still free in the video. Please understand that things have changed since then. The costs have doubled in some areas and our suppliers have also repeatedly increased prices in the last two years. We've always swallowed that up to now, but at some point it's no longer possible if t-blade is to continue to exist. Assembly, if you order the system from us via the configurator, has been costing €9.99 for three weeks, before that it was free. The 24.99 or 29.99 with copper rivets has always been available if the system was not bought from us.

[@funandadventure9472]

@@t-bladede Well, the video was posted 2 days ago and I ordered last week. I ordered a full system from you and send in my skates to change it, so is it free in this case or not? Maybe it would be nice to clarify this in the product description.

It’s annoying because till this day I still don’t understand the difference between S,M,L

It tells you how long the contact area between the blade and the Ice is. S is short, just the middle of the blade, L is Long from heel to toe.

@@AlpineIceFreestyle OMG THANK YOU!!! NOW I UNDERSTAND

[@hiddenarchive6329]

Gutes Video, aber eine Sache habe ich zu bemängeln! Man muss die t-blades nur jede oder jede 2te Saison wechseln, alles andere ist komplette Verschwendung und einfach nur sinnlos!😂

[@-Nobody-1]

Wait… you can’t have them sharpened at your local rink or shop. Lol… that sounds really inconvenient . The bauer lightspeed switches out quick and you can have extra runners on hand to switch out and you can drop them off anywhere to get sharpened and walk away with sharpened blades in minutes… Im just not seeing the point of tblades, but what do i know… im nobody.

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

It's about getting the same feeling every time. And good for you that you have access to good sharpening, if i would ask my countryside options for profiling and a different hollow radius than I would have a hard time😅 same when I travel and Hit a stone on a lake like in Italy last week. I don't say that tblade is the best Option, but for me it definitely is
