Anyone know which bearing spacers work well with F4s? I'm new to spacers but from everything I've read, it's ideal for the spacer to not be wider than the seat so that there are no gaps left on either side. Riding conical fulls on Thunders.
europe's like the capitol of england and france and whatever
It sucks getting old.

Because of this, even though I like I like super hard wheels, I got the 99s in the classic shape and 52mm. Holy shit! First of all, these things felt hard enough for my liking, but not "rattle your teeth" hard. So far I was glad that I got the 99's. [close]I like the 101's better than the 99's even for transportation. I may just be weird though.[close]Damn lol. Do you know how the 101s compare to STFs? Those things make my feet feel like they vibrating after I skate.[close]Nah, I've only skated stf/spf's on friends boards at the park. So I have no experience on rough ground. I just feel like the 99's were slower than the 101's.[close]the harder the wheel the faster they are genearally. However I'll take a slightly slower wheel in order to have a slightly more comfortable wheel. I mean it's not like the 99s are exactly "soft".[close]it depends on the terrain. softer wheels are usually faster on fucked up terrain but not always. Here's why I switched over to F4s from Bones. SPFs are fast as fuck in smooth parks but feel like dogshit on the street. STFs are amazing on the street- hard, fast with high rebound but a little slippery on tight round wall. F4 99as are my favorite all-round wheel- that suit all terrain. Maybe a tad slower than bones but I dig the slip-to-grip ratio far more and they have better shapes and sizes for my tastes. 101s are also pretty epic. i finally learned backside power slides because of these buggers. They slide easier than 99s but its not as secure of a feeling for me. I still ride them from time to time though and find them also more versatile than STF/ SPF. I've flat-spotted both F4 duros and STFS/ SPFs but the F4s tend to work themselves out quicker- meaning they do wear out a bit quicker than bones also. It comes down to this though- F4s just feel more like real fucking skateboarding wheels.

Honestly think small wheels on a huge board skates pretty great. I ride an 8.9 and my wheels are years old so they're super small and it definitely lightens the load on that thing.
NHS spacers are a different height compared to say, Bones spacers.
just wanted to pop in a re-iterate thatSpitfire Formula Fours are the greatest skateboard wheels ever made.why do other wheel brands exist? what's the fucking point?
Wonder what's up with the classic and classic full dimensions but conical and conical full pics?

I've had a hard time finding white radial slims 101's anywhere online. Hoping these stick around in the catalog for awhile.
Hey Lenny, while you're skulking around the thread>I've mashed up colored f4s with regular undyed ones 1:3 ratio kinda thing. Think Lance or Grosso vibes.Question is, in DLXs eyes do the colored wheels wear any different than the undyed ones or am i sweet to just mix and match as i please?
First no more 99 Radials and now no more 99 Classic Fulls? Spitfire is really pushing those conicals.
