Sola Street Frame Review

An in-depth review of the Sola Equipment Aluminum frames. I tested them out on rail, concrete ledges, coping and cess slides so you don't have to.
I paired them up with my Roces Joe Atkinson Majestic 12.
I talk through my thoughts on the eco-packaging, the design, the hardware, how they skate and how they slide. I summarise everything into the pros and cons before giving you my final thoughts.

famus wheels make this frames PARADISE!!!!

[@freestyleskater4337]

Are those the wheels Joe Atkinson uses in his movie Blue?

[@BrandonDrummond]

I can imagine! Metal on metal!

[@ksteezy69]

They’re soo fast!

[@chrismecrow3749]

Quality of the videos feel like they've really gone up recently, good job man!

[@BrandonDrummond]

So nice to hear that! Thanks so much man.

Great video as always. On the clicking noise... I ride the 88A Dead wheels on FLT3 and I hear this noise. I noticed that in some of the wheels, the bearings don't sit flush. I hear the clicking when bending too, which is likely the wheel slightly adjusting because of the extra space.

[@freestyleskater4337]

The harder the wheels the more rattling sound it makes. Some time ago I ordered the Symetrics 4x90 Complete frame. They rattled so much straight out of the box. Biggest problem was the lower quality of the bearings they came with. After switching to Bones Reds the rattling was much better. But I still feel the 90A hardness isn't really my thing, it's the second cause of the sound. I should've bought some comfier 86A wheels, still super fast, but noice-free.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the new metal H-block :D

[@freestyleskater4337]

Me too :)

[@247LilJoker]

Nice round up/review 😊👍🏼

[@markhodges333]

Great unbiased look and I love it that you talked about the bolts and the packaging. I play hockey and also have my son's skates to look after so I'm changing wheels and other parts all the time. Rounded bolts, lining up the wheels on some skates can be a challenge. I'm glad you took the time to mention that. Do you think they are worth the money for a beginner aggressive skater? Also soft wheels on a metal frame are amazing for slides. I sometimes go to hockey stop in my aggressive skates and go flying but I bet with a soft bullet profile you'd be able to do loads more freestyle type skating along with the aggressive stuff. Do you get that impression?

[@peytondooley2031]

Can't wait to pick these up!!

[@BrandonDrummond]

For a TLDR skip to here: 9:29 **EDIT** *After taking my H-Block out and putting it back in, the click has completely stopped. I have a feeling it was the wheels/bearings, not frames* Follow me on Instagram while you're at it😉 instagram.com/brand0n_drumond/

[@cmousdale]

Great review, and totally agree with your points. I love mine. The responsiveness is amazing. also in regards to the noise, I think those wheels area little too hard? And by the way your skatings looking great. I think the M12 and Sola combo suits you!

[@BrandonDrummond]

Cheers man! Yeah the wheels are far too hard. I'm glad to hear that! I love this set up atm.

[@lancerenthusiast]

Great info :)

[@cmousdale]

Also with these frames - we are actually 'grinding'! with plastic frames it's technically sliding.

[@dnuzzi3437]

Sweet frames man they look fast on the h block

[@BrandonDrummond]

Its unreal! So much fun.

[@hulkhogan503]

What is the smallest size wheel you can skate on these wheels

[@lustforlow-end6022]

“Metal on Metal is how it should be” f*ck yes! \m/

[@DirtyNoiz84]

What do you think about Akerue Frames ? I think is Heavy or Not ?! I see this Frames Test, and i don't know what thinking about this Exotiks Frames..!?? For Me, GC FTL3 or Kizzer Fluid 4 and Type M are the Perfects Setup for Me. But it's Just so I like to Ride... 😉☺

[@BrandonDrummond]

I'd love to try those frames.

[@DirtyNoiz84]

@@BrandonDrummond For Me too. I'd like too Exotik Setup. For Me, the normal setup with Groundcontrol Featherlite 3, or KALTIK FREESTYLE 2 FRAME, and Groundcontrol Méga Frame for 4 Wheels. That's Cool , i think. Thanks for your Answer. Have a Good Ride !

[@Bavmorda]

I remember someone talking about those Akerue frames, could have been Lawrence from Back to Blading..?

[@DirtyNoiz84]

@@Bavmorda I think You're Right ! Now i Can Tell You , look the Back to Blading Chanel for thé really Good Test About Akerue Frames ! And Others Things, Normal ! 😉 I look Brandon and Acosta Blade, Back to Blading and Ricardo Lino ! See You ! I hope , can Help You ! 😉☺

[@timtaylor9590]

[@BrandonDrummond]

[@Habeev07]

BRINK - SOUL SKATERS!

[@andreisebastian5495]

how is cutting trees good for the environment ? :)) nice review !

[@BrandonDrummond]

I was gonna say because paper is better for the environment than plastic, but I just looked into it and its actually worse somehow! Anyway, cheers man.

[@nadinezohrer7092]

I really love the combination of your skates and the frame! (Y)

[@BrandonDrummond]

Same here! It looks soooo good. Cheers

[@nadinezohrer7092]

My Sola frame comes tomorrow - so excited to try them 👌

[@DirtyNoiz84]

Oh sorry, i don't Say it's True or Not, is Just what i think about Alu Frames ! I want to Say on my other message: it's not for Me ! So is Right! But i think your Chanel really Good! Don't change Something ! Have a nice Ride ! Peace 😉

[@BrandonDrummond]

The Solas are lighter then my Roces frames by heaps. But these frames are definitely not for everyone. Cheers man. Thanks for watching too! I wont change. You have a nice ride too ✌

[@DirtyNoiz84]

@@BrandonDrummond Thanks Too

[@DirtyNoiz84]

I don't find aluminium Frames are the Futur of Agressiv Blading ! It's maybe Just Cool for Park Riding ! For street we have Kizzer and groundcontrol , and Kaltik ! Why going back with aluminium Frames, wenn the Blades coming Light like Aeon, USD Team, Carbon-Free etc etc ??! Good Ride for All and having Fun!

[@stubear]

I almost darent watch this because it might end up costing me a lot 🤣
