I bought 51mm tablets like 2 months ago when I had my Thunders but only rode them for like an hour. I put my Indy's back on with my old ass 54mm conical full's but since going down to 8.38 the other day I feel like the truck is too crowded and I can't get on coping that easy. Even 50-50-s feel hard to sit on, I have to ollie out earlier than I want to. Put the tablets back on today, but I did it after skating all morning so I'm too tired to see how it feels. Tomorrow though.

I’m riding Indy 129s( not by choice) on 54mm tablets right now and I’m having the same problem, hard to get into grinds and always feel like the board is gonna tip out on impact even if I get the truck(s) on solid for 50-50 or 5-0. Not a big issue on ledges but on 2 sided curbs it’s pretty tough. On round rails I imagine it could actually be an advantage but I don’t fuck with those cause I’m a pussy

I get it, it drives me crazy they don’t have a tape measure and only have a yard stick. Every skater has some thing that gets to them.

Have the Conical Full embers even made their way to any online skate shops (CCS, Tactics, either Warehouse) yet or did they come and go that quick?
Grey wheels? That just looks and feels so wrong

I know people that will accept colored wheels if thats the only option but rarely every people that actively want a set? Why are they wasting resource on these and not giving people white f4's that most want? Unless I'm extremely misjudging the demand for white f4's in all shapes.

I think it's like other folks have said, there's probably a shortage on the regular F4s in terms of the standard Urethane. They probably still have a crap ton of urethane mixed with other colors churning in the factory, but haven't been getting enough urethane in to make more regular stuff.

the only acceptable color besides white or potato is orange. i dont know why
