I just called both of my locals, one didn't know they existed, the other said he just gets whatever you guys send. Do you know if the DLX store has any? I'll drive up there tomorrow morning if they do.

Nevermind, I called, they're out of 101s.

I'm looking for 52s. I don't really care though, I'll go up or down a mm. 56 is a little large thanks though.

Dude you gotta understand, it's pretty hilarious a 29 page thread about wheels. Are these guys on the take or what? Someone always bumps this thread probably from SF or called Spitfire for lyfe

Bones are fine, whats your problem with em? Seriously I want an answer

I'm sure they're fine, everyone likes different shit. I skated a set of STF's about a year ago and I just didn't like them. I gave them a solid month, during which I was skating and taking public transit everywhere. They felt like I was skating rocks. I didn't like the way they slid. They were loud as fuck. Every time I hit a sidewalk crack I could feel it in my teeth. When I started skating in the early-mid 90s, anything Powell or Bones were considered lame as fuck amongst my peers, so it took literally 20 years before I even skated a set of reds.

Spitfire's feel right. Classics or big heads for 20 years will do that.

I can't believe I seriously answered Tracer.

I'm a big fan of Bones but here's the thing. SPFs are great in smooth parks but feel like shit on the streets. STFs are amazing wheels but can be a bit too slick in smooth parks and only go up to 55mm.

Spitfire F4s 99a are just fucking great all rounders and just 'feel' better. For me its all about the 'slip to grip' ratio and 'rebound.' Spitfire nailed it with these wheels. I'm not from SF or on the take. I'm an old bastard who rode Spitfires all through the 90s and reluctantly stopped when I felt the quality dropped in the 2000s. Now they're back on point with the F4s.

Really looking forward to trying some full conicals in the 100a.

This!

STFs have never felt right to me (I'm a spit classics fan from waaaaaaaaaaaaay back, as in launch) and have tried a number of times to ride them out/commit to them and couldn't do it. I love the way STFs feel in bowls but prefer f4s over stfs. Both are great wheels, do the same thing and support great skaters. Pick what feels good. BOTH wheels suck ass on rough roads so I'm riding neither right now.

I'm wanting the Conicals in 55 as I've been eyeing the V5s in 55mm. I love conical/sidecut shapes. Hurry up DLX (btw socal needs help with proper naming conventions and sizing it seems as they have 56mm 'conicals'.

someone whos opinion i trust (who also has run alot of stfs) told me spits are better for him and that they don't flat spot. So my negative comments i posted are based on 15 year old expieriences so i'll remove em.  But i'll stick with bones cause i love how predictably slick they are. (dont like my wheels to really 'grip' ever)

You can tell spitfire is a scam becuase they use words like DURO, DUAL DUROMETER, and stupid letters and numbers to describe their wheels.

Bones just produce and call it like it is, a street wheel and a park wheel. If you ride 55+ then you aren't skating much street anyways

Yeah, perhaps a different type of 'street' to the likes of a cunt like yourself?

Been riding STFs for at least the last 5 years. Now, I'm back on Sptifires because I like F4s better... More size variety that Bones and about the same shape variety. Let's argue some more. How about ACE vs Indy? that seems to rattle some cages....

I think the ace thread is probably about that already.  I guess ace have worked out some of the original problems they had.  Mini logo trucks are out and they make a 8.75 i'd like to try.

After flatspotting the 101s I decided to try the 99's and sadly I got a flat spot on those even quicker.  :-\

that's a bummer. send them back. i've been trying to flat spot my 99s just to see how much they can take.  can't do it. i've managed to flatspot all other spits and stfs and spfs. once you flat spot spfs its not going away others you can often wear out...

I bought some f4 a couple of days ago and have had quite a few chunks come off. They also are cracking in a few places. I love the way they feel, but I was wondering if this is normal for them. I only skate my local park and I'm not to hard on them. I know this sounds silly but I'm kinda bummed on the quality and don't want to go back to Bones.
Not normal at all! I skate the 101duro 52mm classic shape f4s, and my 3 month old set has seen some rough concrete and have one tiny chip from bombing a hill into a gravel alleyway.
