I tried some Hazard wheels last year. They felt harder and more slippery than 101 Spitfires but the quality was good.
Rolled pretty fast and didnt flatspot, though still felt like a second rate wheel despite costing me almost as much as a set of spits.
I would buy them again in a pinch, a positive is they consistently seem to be making black wheels which are usually uncommon.
Did they feel like Creative urethane? I can't stand creative pours.
No, totally different.
People who have had them more often than not say they are too hard and too slippery, but if you want that sort of thing, it should be a good wheel.
The boards I had a go on definitely made me feel uneasy on medium to smooth ground, like I would slip out at any second when carving across a park, but they were fast and I could slide easily on them.
Got a free set of 58mm OGs. Rode great with no break in time on the wood indoor ramp. Which is weird cuz the 55 OG’s are too slick and unridable there. But before that the 101a 52mm CF’s were working for me. Maybe it’s all about the contact patch width or every individual pour is slightly different and nothing mattress
Any of the old / original / classic urethane compound have the lines / tread so you have to wear that in first.
Any Formula Four wheels are smooth on the riding surface, which is great for never having to ease into a set of wheels on any terrain, even smooth park or wood mini ramp.
Could have been how long they were sitting somewhere too, given some wheels will develop a surface coating that has to be worn off before they feel good, but other than that, I wouldn't know or think there would be any difference between different sizes, just the different compounds.
The OG Classics came out in the original compound a lot more than the Formula Four compound, but now it seems to be the other way round.
