OYSI MEDIUM Frames // The Cure for Wheel Bite?

[@chinobean3555]

these frames feel great and i was just cavemaning it. im waiting on my 58s in the mail.hopefully theyre here tomorrow i really want to skate these frames more, im coming from skating anti rocker for a long time so i think im really going to enjoy the hell outta these lolol

[@chinobean3555]

update. rollerwarehouse hooked it up with some usd wheels for 14$ cuz i just ordered the generic 58s and im never going back to anti rocker. its so nice being able to turn hahaha fuck anti !!!!1

[@VandKoala]

Absolutely love those frames as well as this great review mate! Thanks. I do agree with the majority of your points after my first 2 sessions.

[@chrischadwick1]

Ah thanks man, i was inspired by the great videography in your review so wanted to have a bash. Glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@chrischadwick1]

How are the knees mate?

[@patrickfeige6390]

Hey Chris, thanks for the review! I've been considering getting the OYSI medium frames myself, I skated Aeons for a while and I was between boot sizes although I really liked the flat setup.

[@chrischadwick1]

Hey Patrick, ive skated aeons too and i didn't really get on with the flat setup on those, but i know others rave about it. I think the wheel bite protection in the oysi meds performs much better! 👍

[@stubear]

Great frames these, I think the only thing that holds them back is the wheel size choices. 65s are rare and if you go 64 you need a 59 which is also weird. Feel like the options are a bit better with the big Oysi.

[@VandKoala]

50/50 65s with 58 deads work just perfect, including the profile!

[@chrischadwick1]

Yeah getting wheels for hilos can be a pain. Locos Revolver wheels briefly sorted this but then they started flying off the shelves. One thing i would say is that the rocker wares away after a while and likewise larger outer wheels would too. Everything meets in the middle as a flat setup in the end so a couple of mm wouldn't matter too much if your struggling for exact options 👍

[@chrischadwick1]

@@VandKoala Agreed, just mix and match the closest sizes you can get chs paws on!

[@Johnnysthunder]

@@chrischadwick1 that’s only true if you rotate back to flat…

[@art0nblades]

Nice vid. I can second your opinions. Got back on them after a while on Solas and I just learnt back unities and solidified my back royales and had no issues with wheelbite. Also been learning topsides on ledges (I hadn't done before, just on coping or coping-style grindboxes) and they feel a lot easier than on the original Oysi. Very solid and versatile frames. Best overall flat frame for people with non-yeti feet imo.

[@chrischadwick1]

Thanks man. Yeah i was a big fan of the originals but these are a much better all rounder. How did you find the solas, not as good as oysi?

[@art0nblades]

@@chrischadwick1 the Solas are great, too, but as I am more of a beginner (2 years back to blading), the Oysi is still more forgiving on wheelbite and I don't necessarily need the responsiveness from the Alu frame as I don't skate bowl that often. Also Solas on Thems are a harder ride than Oysi on Shifts (what I'm currently riding) and I'm 40... ;-) Love the Solas as well though. Keeping them for sure and will switch back eventually to compare again.

[@art0nblades]

I'd probably say that the Oysi medium is the best overall/versatile flat frame while the Solas are the best advanced flat frame. Completely Imo ofc.

[@chrischadwick1]

@@art0nblades thanks for the insight man, im definitely going to try em at some point. Oysi vs sola would make a great vs video / review 🤔

[@art0nblades]

@@chrischadwick1 Definitely! Two very solid flat frames with their own pros and cons!

[@wildmanactionsports7356]

Great video. I recently got SLs w/ Oysi medium chassis and I love the setup. I’ve been wondering what the differences between these frames and the originals were so this was helpful. Thanks!

[@chrischadwick1]

Ah sick man, yeah i uses to ride Sls with the original ousi, solid setup, with the mediums maybe even better! Glad it was helpful man, thanks for the feedback

[@ChiroSpeedskating]

Great video man! 👌

[@chrischadwick1]

Cheers man! 😁

[@DominicSchlegel369]

Great review, but i got a question: on my ground control big frame the wheel bite protection is kinda annoying on the coppings of the ramps when i put smaller wheels in the middle than 72mm. How are those oisy frames on coppings when u just drive over them? Does the wheel bite protection touch the copping, because i can see a few scratches on that spot of your frame, but not many.

[@chrischadwick1]

Hey man, yeah i had mega frames in the past. Didnt really get on with them as i kept catching the frame walls and going down like a sack of shit. I think the flat sections on the frame you mention act a bit like mini antirocker wheels or juice blocks. So yes i think they really help to reduce wheelbite on coping as they will slide on ledges or the deck or ramps. Hope that answers your question?

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

Great frames, but how could you choose black when they have so many great colours?! Keep up the good work, I enjoy the videos 👍

[@chrischadwick1]

Haha i know, the pink is sick. I just couldn't find a colour that would go with the Adapts. Thanks for your feedback man, its always good to hear im on the right track

[@alexs5394]

Do you think these would be a good first flat setup for someone coming from a freestyle setup?

[@chrischadwick1]

Yeah definitely man there a great first flat frame. Really forgiving WB protection and a nice wide groove!

[@victoriachadwick4448]

Wheely great frames 🐳🐻

[@chrischadwick1]

Thanks O' Great bday present! ❤

[@rokitageorg]

Thanks for the review. Your frame looks like it has not been skated much. Would you agree that review should be done on a product, which has been excessively tested prior.

[@chrischadwick1]

. I think you raise a good point actually. On reflection im going to structure my future reviews differently, with a first impressions video initially (without detailed info on spec) and then a full review after more extensive testing that includes spec. What i realise ive been doing is giving a review level run down on spec with first impressions after a couple of skates. Room for improvement here i think 🤔 Thanks for the feedback, this YT thing is still new to me so constructive criticism is always helpful 👍

[@dukosek]

can anybody tell me why people pronounce "oysi" like it will be "wish"?

[@chrischadwick1]

Who knows man, that's just how it is! I'll try and find out... 🤔

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

I think the name is linked to the owners (Cletus's) Dad and that's just how it was pronounced in his name. 🤷‍♂️

[@lustforlow-end6022]

@dukosek the company owner (Cletus Kuhn), his middle name is Aloysius. So “Oysi” is the “wish” sounding part of that name 👍
