DIY figure skate repair

In detail: DIY figure skates repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

you would show a photo, it might be easier to understand what to do there.
screws - you can, but you need to do so that the screws do not break out of the plastic, do not loosen. to put on polyurethane glue or what? I don't know what kind of glue will hold on such plastic as in skates.
I think that's why they put on rivets.

to repair skates, you need to look for special workshops, usually they are in stadiums, huddle somewhere under the stands, where big hockey teams are.

even the skate itself can be replaced with us if it was costly .. but sometimes it is expensive, this can only be done for expensive models
and if the skates are cheap, then it's easier to buy a new one

sole or heel?
front (toe) or back (heel)?

There is a shorter plastic sole along with the heel and the blade - this is one detail. She came off the shoe, and almost completely, and got beautiful "ankle boots" ((it feels like this detail has not yet been glued at the factory. In short, let's leave the topic for now, until I took the pictures.

glue with rubber glue and pull on the self-tapping screws with a hidden head through the shoe to the heel

The skates should be made of durable and more or less rigid material so that the leg does not dangle in them and is fixed, otherwise you can easily earn yourself, at least, a dislocated ankle. Although in soft shoes, a person can move more freely. Therefore, focus on your level of professionalism. Thermoforming skates are considered to be the most comfortable, as they conform to the shape of your foot. You also need to choose the right size for your skates.

By far the main thing to check when buying skates is the blades. Firstly, their riveting to the boot should not be sloppy. Look at the structure of the blade, the structure should be as stable as possible.

In addition, when choosing skates, pay attention to the manufacturer. Don't buy skates that are too cheap. They can rust very quickly, or their blade becomes dull very quickly.

Hockey skates are the strongest of all skates. This is not surprising, because a hockey player's skates protect the legs from being hit by a club or puck.

The first thing that influences your choice is the size of your skates. How to choose it correctly? If you choose skates for yourself, then you can take half a size smaller and back to back, as over time they will become a little looser. But if you are taking skates for a child who is just starting his hockey journey, take half a size larger. But if you take skates for growth, you risk making skating for the child a torment and thereby push him away from hockey.

Ice skating is a popular sport in which the skill of the master and the availability of appropriate equipment are important. The serviceability of sports equipment will prevent injury and injury from a fall. Before each going out on the ice, you need to carefully inspect the equipment. Do-it-yourself skate repair is a prerequisite in the event of a breakdown or malfunction.

A common type of breakage is a loose skate blade mount. You can fix it at home. This will require the following tools and materials:

rivets;
manual riveter;
file;
pliers;
screwdriver.

Replacing the mounts involves performing the following actions:

Clean the blade, remove the insoles and laces.It is important to remove all auxiliary elements so as not to interfere with the work process.
Turn the sports equipment upside down. Pry off the rivet head with a screwdriver and press. If it sits tightly, it will last some more time. Damaged fasteners must be replaced.
Pick up the loose rivet with pliers and pull it out of the "nest". Thus, all loose heads should be removed. Often they are the ones that lead to dislocation on the ice.
Insert the countersunk fastener into the special gun. Bring the tool to the place where the previous rivet was and squeeze the handles. Repeat the action until the fasteners are in place.
Move the blade in both directions to see if the fastening is secure. Test inventory at the end of the repair. If the blade is dull, sharpen it with a file.

Protective gloves should be worn before work in order not to cut your hands on the sharp elements of the skates.

The procedure answers the request in detail how to repair figure skates at home. If you are not sure that the work will be done properly, you should contact the professionals. The craftsmen will provide full support: they will change the blade, fasteners and other parts if necessary.

If the heart of roller skates are bearings, then hockey skates have blades. They are fixed in a special glass - a plastic holder, which is attached to the sole with rivets or screws. The blades are removable and non-removable and must be replaced in case of serious damage, wear, and geometry violation.

More often, there is an option when the stand is screwed on the side with two screws. In this case, replacing the blade on hockey skates does not require special equipment and skills, and you don't even need to remove the skate. The only drawback of the scheme is the risk of arbitrary unscrewing and loss of the screw while skating on ice.

It will be more difficult for amateur skate owners to change the blade. In their case, you will have to remove the rack. If it is not possible to do it yourself (due to lack of time, knowledge, etc.), then it is better to contact a workshop on the territory of a hockey school or ice palace. The higher the cost of the skates, the more expensive the repairs.

If the sole is cracked, then the problem can be solved with epoxy glue, provided that the damage is not in the place where the blades are attached, otherwise the skates will have to be thrown away. Spins on ice will nullify all efforts.

You can still try to glue the crack on the side or on the toe yourself, although the stability of the deformed boot will be questionable. Repairing sports shoes at home is advisable only if there are minor defects.

Expensive shoes with leather soles are sealed with a special glue designed for leather shoes. If you degrease the damaged area, fill the hole with a mixture of leather scraps and press it in, you will be able to restore the integrity of the sole.Attention! If the sole of your boots is cracked, you should think about buying a new thing. After repair, even with the help of the highest quality and most expensive glue, any footwear, be it skates, shoes or boots, will quickly fail.It makes no sense to glue the sole that is cracked across. During repairs, a complete replacement is required. The best solution would be to contact a shoemaker.Skates are a complex and durable element of hockey equipment. After each skating on the ice, they should be dried and stored in their covers. Anyone can handle these tasks and changing laces. Other problems, such as repairing the back of ice hockey skates or replacing the rack, are best left to a specialist.If you start from the head, or rather from the helmet, then buttons on the belt, adjusting screws are most often flying here, and the appearance itself sometimes loses its former aesthetics. Rusty or oxidized bolts can be easily replaced with new ones. Fortunately, a repair kit can always be bought at a hockey store. The situation is similar with straps. To repair it, you can again buy a repair kit, or give it to the master for metal repair.The plastic cups of the shoulder pads and elbow pads rarely need to be repaired. Basically, rubber straps are repaired, which stretch over time, or Velcro. To solve these problems, it is enough to find new parts, take threads, a needle and replace the parts with your own hands, or contact a clothing repair shop.

To fix this problem, I used the solution that manufacturers offer in their top models, for example Bauer Vapor 1x and Supreme 1s:

This is how skates look after "repair"

Replacing the palms of the leggings, I believe, is a well-known option, and there is no need to further describe it. Although, of course, I would note that the replacement of palms can be delayed and the life of the gloves can be prolonged by sewing up the hole in time and soaking it a little with superglue:

I also faced the fact that over time the leggings began to sit too loosely on the arm, as if they were stretched, and comparing them with the new ones, I realized that the inner lining of foam rubber (on the outside of the hand), my leggings were almost completely wiped off and spilled out. Having cut this pocket a little, I put new foam rubber in it and the excess space inside the glove was gone.

I also tried to restore the cracked cups near the shields - I glued and melted, to be honest, without much success, after a while they cracked again, but perhaps these are my flaws.)

While this is all that I remembered, supplement and share your experience in the comments, I will be grateful for your feedback.

If you glue it well and guess tightly so that the washers lie right on the edge so that there is no movement, then it will last for a very long time. So, go ahead) then write how it happened)

Tell me, if a hockey skate also has a heel, is this repair method suitable? There is nothing to twist the screws. And there will be screws with a nut on the collective farm)

First sightseeing 8 mesi fa

Vasia Petrov, a good idea by the way) why the collective farm does not look under the skates .. you can still use rivets, but you need a riveter))

How soon will you release a video of your hockey skates?

Yuri, maybe, but he can crack as it is solid, and there is more glue so that moisture does not destroy the fabric, does not get in, and the screws with washers hold pretty well)

you can put quiet music on the background so that the echo does not rush like that

There are figure skates, practically new. On both, the sole came off the boot. Those. the blade itself is firmly attached to the sole, and the sole has come off the shoe. Shoemakers do not repair this, they took only one, glued it, it was enough for an hour of riding.
I think you can attach the boot to the sole with a few small screws? The sole is plastic.

hockey skates are often riveted.
riveted on the heel (I have it)

glue with rubber glue and pull on the self-tapping screws with a hidden head through the shoe to the heel

put the screws on the glue.
so that they do not loosen and this does not lead to injury.
because the loads there are decent.

Got it, thanks. do you need self-tapping screws? Will simple small screws work?

self-tapping screws hold better
and they have a flat hat of a hidden type - so that your foot does not rub

In spec. In stores, the blades are always sold separately from the boot - the future champion grows with the foot. They are screwed in with self-tapping bugs. In the store, screw 2 sock and 2 heel. In case you need to adjust-rearrange. Buy your boots and put the blade on

New roller skates do not give their owners any trouble, at least for the first time. But after a few seasons or even some long and "dirty" rides, the question of repairing the rollers arises: something does not unscrew, or vice versa - other problems have flown off and do not screw in. In this article, we will analyze the main and common problems that can arise when repairing roller skates.

Sooner or later the moment comes when the roller needs to be rearranged in places or sides of the wheel, and maybe even to replace them.
Having removed one wheel, then another roller, a person tries to unscrew the next, but they do not give in in any way: what's the matter?
This situation is described by the term "sticky axle", which means that the axle seems to be glued to the frame.

In this situation, we follow the following rules:

Do not press down hard on the axle, especially if the hex hole is already damaged. There is a risk of stripping the threads and turning the hex hole into a round one.
It is worth starting to unscrew the axle by pre-treating the surface around them with WD-40 grease or similar in properties, based on a solvent, in order to remove the rust formed in the thread as much as possible.
If this does not help and the hole has already turned into a round one, then the axis should be carefully cut with a file or drilled out. A specialist workshop can help you with this.

So that the situation does not repeat itself in the future, you should not twist the axes to the maximum, you can under-twist half a turn.

And also for prevention, sometimes twist them a little and screw them back in.

If the axle breaks, don't panic!

It also happens that during skiing, the axle simply broke from the load. Most often this happens with sharp shock loads, that is, jumping. This usually happens among fans of freeskate or aggressive skating.

In this situation, no repairs are required. The broken axle should be removed from the wheel and roller frame and discarded with a new one purchased from a specialized roller store.

Modern manufacturers of roller skates and spare parts for them approach their business conscientiously and with quality, so problems such as axle breakage during skiing are very rare.

Bearing failure

If the bearings are out of order: they turn badly, make a lot of noise or do not spin at all, then the bearings should be cleaned and re-lubricated.

How to do this is described in this article "ABOUT CLEANING BEARINGS"

If this seemed too difficult for you, then new bearings can also be purchased at a specialized store.

Repair of other parts of roller skates

Repairing all other parts of roller skates comes down to two things: screw it with a new bolt or glue this part, or replace the broken part with a new one.
