I bought them as I like 55s and there aren't too many F4s in 55mm. Wanted to try a bigger 101 also. Probably save them until spring though. Strictly 99a through the winter.

it's summer where i live, and i bought some 53mm 101a classic fulls, seemed pretty big to the eye on 8.25 with 149 indy but they're great, very comfortable ride even  with a half-twisted back ankle :)

Tried my first set of radial slim yesterday, really loved the look !
They felt slippier, harder, and faster than classics.
Possibilities are everywhere, search and enjoy.

ive seen a lot of PALS on here backing the radial slims - what was the biggest difference you liked? ive rode the F4 classic, classic wide, classic slim and conical full and overall i feel the classic is perfect

They seem to be a little more reactive, but I only skated an indoor wooden park yet so maybe I need to give them a street session to confirm.
I really enjoyed the feeling of crooked and smith grinds with the new wheels, maybe the slim shape helped also.
Possibilities are everywhere, search and enjoy.

They're a bit slimmer to go with my non-hesh skating, a bit lighter and lock into grinds better on ledges (I have a tendency to roll out/over using rounder wheels). They really just save you the trouble of skating a massive set of 60mm classics down to where you really want them ;)

Spit need to bring back the awol shape in F4s, I'd bite. Hell bring back the firelighters, they were close to the awol shape.

I dig mine too. Size is deceiving on them tho, 54s look like 51s cuz of how slim they are

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

I fully dig the fact that their width is consistent through the entire body and this causes the wheel to last forever. Also as mentioned before, these wheels offer the advantages of riding a slightly bigger wheel when going over rough terrain minus the wheel bite.
Riding a set of classics at the  moment and really enjoying these too!

Can someone post that diagram explaining the differences between wide and thin wheels? Just dug through half the thread to no avail.

I don't think I like the classic slims as much as I thought I would. Going to go back to radial slims and try them in 101.


Excellent choice, Sir

I regard these wheels as the #1 for street skating. The tablet shape makes them last forever and the nice width allows to easily roll over cracks and shit.

I'm on the radials now and they are a little too wide for me. I really like the shape, so I think I'll be on the slims next.

Radial Slim 101 is definitely my favorite F4.

Here to give the classics some much needed love. 101 classics are the best wheel I've ever had.

Steve, those things are fucking sick!

Edit: I remember years ago I was having nostalgia about the 90s and got these.

Ahh, nice. I saw the new street plants the other day and was eyeing that one. How's big wheelbase feel with the tiny wheels?

Waiting for the streets to dry a bit more before heading out for a cruise.  In all honesty I'll likely be sticking with 54s on this setup since it's kind of my all around board and the 49ers will be going on an 8.38.  I just couldn't resist putting them on a 9" for a day
