Several people have commented on the problem with the BravoBlade memory
buckles where they suddenly pop out a couple of notches as you are
skating. This certainly happens to me, and it is annoying the hell out of
me at the moment.
So...................
I have decided to conduct a (pseudo) scientific survey to try and find out
what causes the problem, and to see if there is anything that can be done
to fix it (apart from getting new skates!).
I also plan to write to rollerblade, and see if I can get any sense out of
them. I guess the more ammunition I have, the more chance that they may be
helpful.
If you are a Bravoblade user please take a look at the following
questions, and send the answer back to me. Please answer even if you don't
have the buckle problem - I would like to see if there is any difference
between the "haves" and "have nots".
As a final thought, does anyone know if it is possible to fit Rollerblade
buckles designed for their other skates onto the Bravoblades? This might
be one way to fix the problem.
If any one has already found a fix for this problem please post it!
Thanks
Iain Sharp
