Skate Blade Mounting Instructions
Mounting specialized figure blades is not a difficult task. It does, however,
take patience and an understanding of basic mounting procedures. It is
important to remember that there are two types of blade mountings.
The first is called a temporary mount in which the blades are attached in an anticipated or "normal" mounting position but done so with a single "toe" screw, two "ball" screws and two "heel" screws. The purpose of a temporary mount is to allow the skater to do some light or moderate "test" skating to determine if the "normal" placement of the blade is acceptable or if the skater wishes to have it moved slightly. Such determination should be done at this time prior to the second type of mounting, the permanent mount. The permanent mount is the final mount in which the blade's final position has been determined and is a more secure mount for full competition and/or use.
The following is the procedure Riedell recommends for mounting competitive ice blades for both the temporary and permanent mounts.
1.
Select desired blade, model and length.
2. Recommended blade length should not be any shorter than 1/4" of
overall sole length of boot.
3. Pencil mark the center of boot on the heel and tip of the sole. The
must be done by eye. Do not necessarily use the toe seam, as occasionally
in lasting, the toe seam may be pulled slightly to one side. These pencil
marks will be used as reference points when mounting the blade on the
boot.
4 . Place the front toe plate to the tip of the sole. If the blade is
shorter than heel to toe (#2 above) the 1/4" extra boot length should
be at the heel and not the toe.
5 . Using the pencil reference points, center the blade runner with the
heel reference pencil point and attach one heel screw. If the blade has
a slotted mounting hole (most do) mount the screw in that hole. This will
allow for slight adjustment when snugging blades into place.
6 . Place the toe of the blade directly center of your pencil mark reference
point and move the blade slightly to the inside approximately half a blade
width. Secure a toe screw opposite side of the heel screw used in #5 above.
7 . Check the blade for straightness and proper position. If correct,
then place a "ball" screw opposite of the toe screw.
8 . Check again for straightness, then if all is correct, place another
heel screw opposite kitty corner from the first heel screw.
9 . Next, go back and place another ball screw opposite kitty corner to
the first ball screw placed in #7.
10 . Your temporary mount is now complete. Test the skate for final approval.
11. Make necessary minor movement (if requested) then make a permanent
mount.
12. At this point, carefully remove one screw at a time. Be careful not
to move the blade and, using a drop of clear epoxy glue in the holes,
re-insert the screws.
13. The permanent mount consists of adding the second toe screw, another
heel screw, and the remaining ball screws except one.
14. The open heel screw and one open ball screw is used as a starting
point if another blade change is elected at another time.
15. If the skater requests all screws be used, that is fine, however the
two open ones aid in replacement and mounting of a different blade in
the future.
