Plates not mounted symmetrically- is that bad?

rhp

Hi, So I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, wondering if I could get a second opinion about this!

These are Riedell Zones. I noticed one of the plates is mounted significantly closer to the edge than the other. I posted on a reddit forum about it and most people said it was a bad mounting job, that they should be symmetrical and I shouldn't skate on them. Others said it was fine. At the moment I'm waiting to hear back from Riedell.

I'm wondering if these look unusable to you - will an asymmetrical alignment detrimentally effect the performance of the skate, make me prone to injuries, etc? Should I get these remounted?

Thanks for your help :)

You can skate on them but bad mounting jobs shouldn't be tolerated. Loosen the trucks a bit if they start pulling in the wrong direction.

Ah ok, sounds like I should get them remounted! In the meantime, I'll follow your advice.

Oops just realized this was Doc's section. He will get back to you with solid advice, definitely listen to what he has to say as well haha.

I'm not as grouchy about this as long as the advice is good. ;) That said Remounting them is the best way to go. Just find someone that can do it right..
