Sure Grip - Avenger Magnesium plate
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Avenger plate offers a 45 degree action and full a customized feel for the skater.
Pivot adjustment: Pivot pins are not factory adjusted. Always adjust the pivot pins so that the ball just touches the bottom of the Delrin pivot cup.
-
The pivot pin adjustment should be checked regularly once installed. Do not assume the pivot pin adjustment is correct if no
-
movement is felt when checking the adjustment. It could be adjusted longer than necessary. Pivot pins adjusted too long can
-
cause the skate to have an unpleasant “darting” feel when skating. If the pivot pin ball does not touch the pivot cup you will be
-
able to press down on the truck assembly and feel or see a slight movement of the pivot pin into and out of the cup. Adjust the
-
pivot pin until the pressure applied to the truck no longer results in this movement. When satisfied that the pivot pin is resting
-
with slight pressure in the pivot cup, secure the pivot pin lock nut firmly against the truck housing. NEVER skate your plates with
-
the pivot pin lock nuts improperly tightened. Loose pivot pins will self-adjust and possibly damage the threads in the trucks.
-
Cushions:
-
The DA45 truck is very unique when compared to other trucks on the market. Due to its extreme angle it must use a special set
-
of cushions, one “barrel” and one “conical” cushion. We developed a special urethane with 4 different hardness levels to fine
-
tune the action of your skate.
-
Blue – 72A
-
Yellow – 79A
-
Purple – 85A
-
Red – 93A
-
Tips for tuning your action.
-
1) Remember a stiff action may make a skater feel more stable initially, however, it has several adverse side effects. The
-
most important one to consider is the amount of force needed to make the skate do what you want it to do. The stiffer
-
the action, the harder you need to work to get the skate to turn. This effort can lead to premature wear or failure of
-
boots or worse, your feet. A simple rule of thumb. The stiffer the action, the more the SKATE controls where you are
-
going. The softer the action, the more YOU control where you are going. How is that again? You say you have
-
experienced a loose action behave like it has a mind of its own?? Not so. The skate is simply going where you tell it to
-
go and you are over correcting. The more you over correct, the more erratic the skating becomes.
-
2) The DA45 action turns more quickly and easily than any other design on the market. It will go exactly where you tell it
-
to go if properly adjusted. Do not hamper this ability by over tightening the action. If you can see the side of the barrel
-
cushion even starting to bulge out the side, you have the action too tight and you should use a stiffer cushion set. Over
-
tightening the action can cause the entire skate to fail.
-
3) Do not loosen the action more than necessary. If you can easily turn the cone cushion retainer with your fingers, the
-
action is too loose. Use softer cushions to get the desired turning behavior.
-
4) Cushion sets can be split to get optimum tuning. Typically a softer cone is used with a harder barrel cushion. An
-
example is a purple barrel with a blue cone cushion. While this give an overall feel similar to a pair of yellow cushions,
-
the purple barrel will provide a better push than the yellow barrel and the blue cone will compensate for the extra
-
stiffness of the purple barrel.
-
5) It is essential to experiment with your skates to find the best setting for you. It is also essential to verify you are using
-
the best setting for your improving skills by continuing to experiment.
-
6) Remember to adjust the pivot pins after adjusting or replacing cushions.

Sizing Help
1. Measure Your Feet
You need a few things:
- Socks
- A tape measure with measurements starting at the beginning of the tape, without a gap (ideally, a fabric tape measure).
- A wall (without moulding sticking out at the bottom)
- A box
Step 1
Lay the tape out with the zero starting at the wall.
Step 2
Step on the tape with your socks. Measure the longest part of your foot.
Step 3
Place a box just at your toes, put your weight on the foot you are measuring, lean slightly forward, and give your toes a wiggle (if the box nudges forward a little that's fine!).
Step 4
Gently move your foot off of the tape measure. Take note of the length to the nearest 16th of an inch or the nearest mm.
You are now ready to use our sizing calculator! Select your range in millimeters in the down menu menu below. If you have a size that is outside of the range listed below book an appointment so we can discuss what size is best for you.
IMPORTANT Notes about Fit
- Your skates will feel more snug than your street shoes! This gives you maximum performance and minimizes discomfort.
- Ideally, your toes will lightly brush the front of the skates when laced up. To get a true idea of fit, you need to lace up your skates. Lacing your skates pulls your heel back into the heel cup, and gives you a true idea of how much room you have in the toe box.
- Yes, your toes should really be touching the end of the toe box! This is to avoid the boots fitting too loose once broken in, and prevents blisters and discomfort in shins or calves. If you do not want a snug fit please adjust your size accordingly.
- This is intended as a guide and put together using the measurements from the manufactures. Unfortunately we can not guarantee the sizing, we highly recommend visiting a physical store to be sized in person to ensure the best fitting skate.
