Busted Lace Lock, DAMN!

[HMHINC]

So yeah, I got a busted lace lock on the inside lace of my left skate. I discovered it last night when I was taking off my gear after the game. I was thinking of running a button head bolt up through the hollow of the busted rivet but I'm a bit concerned about tearing up the inside of my boot channel. The skates are Vectors that are about 8 months old, I really like them and I only play twice a week at the most. I did a search and found nothing relevant. I am 38 years old and enjoy long walks on the .............I digress, anybody got any better ideas on how to fix it?

Your local hockey store should have a bunch, mostly because they always break on the player skates and people are always looking for replacements.

You just need to unscrew it and put on a new one, easy as anything

Right...

I'm not sure about the Vectors, if they are riveted or screwed in, but the RBK's are screwed in. Matter of fact I, I was exmining the lace locks on my RBK's last night to see how much life I have left in them (some rusting) before I need to replace them. If yours are riveted in, see if you can get an RBK replacement with the screws.

yeah, it's threaded, guess I should have looked at the other ones instead of just the one dangling on the lace. My bad, sorry for the wasted bandwidth......maybe this god forsaken place (nc) is rubbing off on me.
