Hey jam, my brother works at Front row sports inside the pepsi center, he knows a thing or two about skates. i asked him what a ballpark figure would be to replace the blades, and he said around 50 to 80 dollars. If you have the time to go to the pepsi center by UB, go inside, ask for Rob, and if hes working tell him you know jack. he should hook you up. PM me if you need details ---

jam you can prob get a pair of new skates for 50-80 that are most likely far superior than your 10 year old ones. stop being a pussy and just break in some new ones. besides wasnt your fucking leg crooked when we were 15 p.s. meet me at the rotary ---

You can do this yourself by the way. With tuuk chassis there should be two holes in the boot under the sole. Through those two holes you can access the bolts that attach the blades. I believe the bolts require an allen wrench. I am unsure however on what the cost is for new blades vs. new blades and installed at Pepsi as stated earlier.
