SHARPENING SPEEDSKATES
STRAIGHTENING
The sharpening process basically consists of checking and / or making a curve in the skates and subsequently polishing the skates.
Polishing aims to sharpen the blades and to reduce the resistance on the ice as much as possible.
Before we do this we check if the blades are perfectly straight. If this is not the case, we will straighten the blades first.
Making blades straight; we name it straightening in speedskating terms. We make sure that your blades are perfectly straight.
With straight irons you are able to develop more speed.
Some speedskaters ride with a bending in their skates. Also we can provide for this up to 1/1000 of a mm.
ROCKERING
Rockering the blades is truly custom.
The camber in the blades makes it possible to control the blade.
This provides the basis for a good speedskating technique and the feeling on the ice.
The camber may differ for each skater and is adjusted to the weight of the skater, the stiffness of the blade, and the technique of the skater.
Especially the path traveled by the skate during the push is important.
The rounder the blade, the more the skate steers. A rider who places his skate more on the outside and therefore controls the skate more to the outer,
will need more cambering to return fully.
In addition, the ice quality is of influence on the choice of the camber.
When the ice is softer, the skate sinks a little in the ice and you need more camber to steer properly.
On hard ice you need less camber in the blades. We tailor the camber to the purpose of the skater, the skating technique and the ice conditions.
To this end, we have high-precision equipment.
Also, a variable camber belongs to the possibilities. Make sure you have a good camber in your skates.
This also applies to young children.
If the basis is not good, one can not learn the technique properly.
SHARPENING
Blade sharpening we do very precise. This is our specialty!
Before the race, we can prepare the speedskates prior to a competition, but also for the tour skater we have this service.
Of course we also take care of replacing springs, pins, dampers, spindles etc. We bend, do rockering and grinding for long track speed skating
and also for short track.
To this end, we have a wide variety of curvemodels in store.
