Where is the rocker ?
Johns 4 May 2005 10:27:53
	Blades are MK Pros, and I've had them sharpened 4 or 5 times. Last time, as soon as I got on the ice going backwards, I felt like my toepicks were way too close to the ice, and they would drag at the slightest forward tilt of my boot. Talked to the Pro who sharpens my blades, and he said that the test of when to either get new blades, or grind off the lower pick was to put the blade on a flat table, and lift the heel until the bottom pick touched the table. I should be able to lift the heel about 1 inch. I did that, and indeed I could lift the boot heel about 1 inch. So ?? I ordered new blades anyway, so I could compare their lift. Both new blades and old blades lift exactly the same amount. Meaning what? I don't know. Mull heading on this, I finally decided that the rocker on the old blades has moved back a bit .... probably due to my bad "stroking" So how do you tell exactly where the rocker is? Hmmmm ... I just had a brain-itch. Maybe I could tilt the blade to where the bottom pick touches, and measure the distance on a piece of paper to where the curve of the blade just touches the paper ... and compare that to the new blade ??? If the old blade distance is longer, then I need to have the blade ground to move the rocker forward. Can that be done? Is it worth the hassle? Where do babies come from ? johns

	why don't you take your boots, lay them on their sides, so that the blades are parallel to a piece of paper, and trace the bottom of the blade. Then using a ruler or other straight edge laid tangentially to the tracing, locate the point at which the least amount of the straight edge is tangent to the tracing. That's the center of your rocker. (PS I hope I'm remembering the right geometry terms... my brain is on auto-pilot at 5:44AM and today it's thinking about Paso Doble cross-rolls.)
