Did spitfire change how wide the conical fulls are? I got a set of the 54mm 99a ones and they look the same as regular conicals. Everyone I've seen with conical fulls has way more riding surface.
one you skate them for a couple months the taper will wear down and youll have a flat conical shape, could be that, its the true nature of the wheels pretty much, like how the classics are actually tablets

Is there a reason why they don't make 53mm 99A's in formula four? specifically in Fulls/Radials/Classic Pro's in Natty White?
[close]

uh

https://www.google.com/#q=53mm+formula+fours

They make 53mms in all of those.
[close]

I said 53mm F4 99's! majority of the ones they have on f4's are 101's on 53mm's...
[close]

We definitiely make them!

They are our most popular size/formula, so they sell out fairly quick.

Socal shop has a decent selection right now: http://socalskateshop.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=67338

Didn't mean to include Classic Pro's but mainly Radial's and Full's in both 99's...never ever seen one online or at a shop. usually the 53mm's are always the 101's in both those models.

Is there someone who's skating 101s on a really smooth park ? I want to try them as well, but i'm afraid that they might slide too much once autumn comes and the weather ain't dry anymore

i do, its all i have been skating lately so i got pretty used to it. i wouldn't say they slide a lot. the ride is actually very satisfying. also, for an extremely smooth flat i would consider buying THE hardest wheels because that's what hard wheels are designed for. i tried skating softer wheels on the same smooth flat and my impression is that i would feel a lot of "speed dampening" because of the soft wheels. i don't know how they ride on wooden floor though. i will pm you a video of the park so you can see what kind of floor i'm talking about.

F4 101s are good for everything besides a dusty indoor park. You'll barely be able to stay on your board them shits is slick.

I switched my F4 52 99s today for full 53 99s. Considering that my wheels where like year and a half old, and probably somewhere between 40 in the back and 45 in the front it was about time.

These monster truck wheels will require riser pads, but i can ride on anything now and slappies are way easier.

I skated the 101s today and i like them waaay more than the 99s. The slide is way better and they don't feel slippery at all.

53mm definitely don't require riser pads, and they're absolutely not monster truck wheels haha.

Hell yeah! 101 gang for life.

I was thinking of trying 54 99's instead of the 101's, but something tells me I wouldn't like it. 99's are a slightly smoother ride, but they feel.. dead.

Even on smooth parks they don't feel slippery. I saw someone else say that F4 101's are a soft 101. It's true! They're actually a nice ride for street rocks.

The 99s are perfect for pool/bowl/vert or a cruiser. I bought the for that actually, but i changed my mind in the last minute and didn't had the money for other wheels.
101s are perfect imo.

when i wheelbite at 50% of my old turning radius i definitely require riser pads. i have them on thunder hollow light 149s that I assume are HIs.

53s are the biggest wheels I've had in probably 8 or something years.

Well that's why...you're riding Thunders. Their "Hi's" are lows. Especially the hollow ones with forged baseplates. Shit's not even 50mm tall and they call it a "Hi". Hi, I'm from planet earth where are you from, Thunder?

55mm+ are big wheels
50mm-54mm normal
<50mm small

I've ridden the 99 Classics, 101 Classics, and 101 Classic Fulls. All great wheels, but I'm m totally in the 101 camp. Just set these up, and hoping the added width helps with the crusty spots I've been skating.

Is the frisbee 101A or 99A though?

Bought another set of the Keeping The Underground Lit 55.5mm 99s. They are just a hair too big when new but I feel like they stay a decent 54ish size for a while. I feel like when I buy 54s they get tiny too quickly.

Kinda wanted conicals - maybe next time.
