Never had an issue with any of the rbk's i have sold, or my own pair of 7k's.
"CCM was bought out by Reebok (Rbk) a few years ago. Rbk's first skate line featured The Pump on two of their top three models (9k and 5k). This is the second year they have made them.
I have not heard about the pump breaking often. Sorry to hear about that man. Call Rbk anyway and see if they will do something."
This is actually incorrect. The first line featured no skates with the Pump. The second line did, and also featured the skates with no Pump. In this year's line, all of the top end skates have the Pump. The two low end skates do not.
