Weight Vs durability trade off

6 years ago

It's a lightweight runner, and uses the same principal steel as all other tuuk runners. It performs well overall, but not as good as top end steel (e.g. step steel). That being said, they break prematurely. The dual metal composition creates a seam which significantly things thins the steel portion. As the runner encounters use, the seam between the steel and aluminium loosens, making the unsupported steel section vulnerable to snapping. I've seen it in a few different skates now. It's a weight Vs durability tradeoff. But the weight difference doesn't justify the expense and inconvenience. I recommend regular LS runners instead, or even better, just pony up and get step steel.
