For the Woodward Blader Reunion weekend, I decided that I would need more grip than my 92a wheels could provide. I decided to use the opportunity to try out the Famus 60mm aluminum core wheels. Here are my thoughts on the wheels after about 15+ hours of skating on them.

I have the new 5 spoke famous wheels. The bearings went in smooth with a bearing press.

Hi corey, great video, but I have a question for the sola wheels, I just bought the wheels and it comes with the bearings, but when i put the wheels on Create original frames or 50/50 frames, the wheels just doesn’t spin smoothly (kind of like stuck, unless if i loosen up the bolts it’ll spin normally). I did tighten the bolts for that just because i don’t want any weird noises coming from the bolts when i skate them. But when I tried to skate them around the house just to tested out it rolls perfectly find, but is this normal?

Great review mate, thanks. Ans as allways super riding! I was on famus for more than a year now :) only for really rough street I use something else. Recently tried Undercover Milky - seems even grippier and same fast. Don’t know about the wear yet. Even Famus don’t wear as fast as they are believed to :)

Thanks for reviewing these! I considered getting them but went with the 60mm UC Team wheel. Hopefully they’ll last a while.

You said more speed and more grip Only for park riding. Any drawbacks to using them on street?
@coreyenglish8706
@coreyenglish8706 Год назад
They will likely wear out quickly if you use them on street.

Isn’t your average set of UC, Dead, etc. about the same price as these? If you’ve worn these to the metal core it would probably be time for new urethane wheels too 🤷‍♂️
@coreyenglish8706
@coreyenglish8706 2 года назад
Currently yes. There used to be a larger difference in price between the two. These do seem to wear faster than traditional urethane wheels though.

You can order famous wheels assembled with bearings in them from solaequipment.com if you don't want to deal with getting those bearings in.

Yes! I saw that they just started that. Pretty fair price too in my opinion.

Why wont a ninja bearing press for skateboard work for these things. It works on my scooter 110 al. core with ease, You can even use the back end to take out the bearings which is usually even more of a pain when you dont have this kind of gadget.

Why do these wheels wear out so fast when they are 88/90a? Seems like a rock solid thane on paper…
@coreyenglish8706
@coreyenglish8706 2 года назад
There just isn’t as much urethane to wear through really. The core is massive.

Ive heard so many people say the same about famus wheels. A buddy of mine is in his third set of bearings as he keeps busting them trying to get them in. I dont understand why it needs to be that tight
@coreyenglish8706
@coreyenglish8706 4 года назад
Keep Rolling holy cow. I didn’t break any bearings in the process. You definitely need to make sure things are lined up properly before you press.

are they just as hard to remove the bearings ?
@coreyenglish8706
@coreyenglish8706 3 года назад
If you’re willing to destroy the bearing spacer, you can hammer them out with a old axel or a bolt. Not the easier thing but it works.

Have a full flat setup on aeons and love the wheels, fantastic for bowl. I occasionally have a wheel that looses its free spin, so I bought a £5 rubber mallet and I just give them some taps and put them back in to find them spinning nicely again. Would like to swap/clean the bearings but don’t know if it’s possible or worth the hassle/possible injuries/damage it might cause....any suggestions welcome!
@coreyenglish8706
@coreyenglish8706 4 года назад
Tom Graham As long as the bearings aren’t sealed, you can clean them. The rubber shields pop off easily with a razor blade. soak them in alcohol, let dry, and re-lube with a bearing lube. Time consuming, but relatively simple. .
@tomgraham2110
@tomgraham2110 4 года назад
Yeah I normally clean my bearings, it’s just getting them out of the famus wheels that I’m concerned about. Not to mention having to put them back in again.
@VandKoala

Just put a skate tool-in so it get’s agains the inner ring of one of the bearings from inside and tap a couple times on the table - they will pop out. I think I have a vid somewhere 🙄

Things not going to stabilize like you mentioned. Think it's bad now...going to get much worse. It will never be like the way you remembered it. Global reset coming.
