I am getting new boots in the next couple of weeks. Here is my dilemma: I have less than a year left on my blades (according to my sharpener). I have had them for 2 years. They are coronation aces and the only ones I have ever had. I would like to try some other ones, but not sure whether to get the new blades at the same time as the boots or mount the old ones first and once these blades go, then get a new set.
Here are some things I am considering:
1. I will not be on the ice for 2 weeks, so will have a little adjustment period anyway, why not adjust to everything (ice, new boots, blades) all at once
2. I would rather not make new holes in the boot (even though the old ones can be plugged, I think, the new mounting can not be as good as the mounting on untouched soles, since there always be some old hole in the way)
3. I am itching to try something new but not sure if getting a whole new setup will be too much to adjust to all at once.
What do you think?
p.s. have you tried Paramount blades (similar to CorAces) and /or Ultima Matrix Legacy in comparison to the Coronation ace? I am an adult with all my singles, working on axel and double sal, so siver level, so if you have another blade recommendation, let me know.
