Spitfire formula four

[FuzzGNU]

Oshit that was quick and they are wider than expected. Are they dropping the OG radials? since there's still 8 shapes on that

Radial Fulls are VERY wide and heavy. It honestly makes so much sense to put them out in 97a, good call by them. I can't imagine why you would want these behemoths in anything harder than that. If you require this shape/size, you probably also require a softer wheel.

I imagine these should be a pretty solid crust tackling semi-cruiser type wheel for people who don't like Dragons for whatever reason.

well slap is well referenced on google it seems
because this pic is from page 128

Ha, I've never even heard of the classic slims. Must look like a street bike tire version of a skate wheel. 15 mm riding surface on a 56 lol?

Mid 2010s wheel shape when Spitfire was doing fun graphics for each pro rider.

I was hoping to find some 58mm F4 OG Classics in this drop. Colored, swirled, natural, whatever.

Radial Full shape and 97a do seem like a perfect match too.

54mm 101 F4s have been very fun. Wish they would do some orange ones.

So many good things come up in those simple searches though.

Helped me find some "missing" things I couldn't find on here that came up right away on google.


That page 128 was a busy one!!!


Thanks to @Schinken for that backing card too.

Might be of interest. Size/shape chart from my latest purchase.

radial fulls lookin like a pixar mom. THICK

I like the shape of radials but the what's the point riding them when you get pretty much the same width with conical fulls and less weight?

[munchbox]

rounded edges
basically a worn down classic right from the jump

Same question as quoted post, but with regular conicals and OG classics?
What justification is there to having both shapes?
Does one shape have merits the other doesn’t?

Too wide imo.

Lil Smokies back on the shelves in a couple of different shapes.
 Highly recommended for BPSW style set ups.

I wrote to them saying it's a ripoff to price these at $40, they're supposed to be a pricepoint wheel. Can still get the 50mm tablets from Chico's webstore for $25 ($33 after shipping)

You guys overseas are privileged. For euroscum, like me, F4 Spits are almost always 60€\$ everywhere.

In sweden they've been 68€ for awhile and I've seen new wholesale prices, they will be 76€ up to 56 mm, 84 for 57 and up. Dlx boards are 90-100€, Bakerboys 100-110. It's fucked

Somebody should do a 49.

Good point. Think I paid $24 last set.

[switchfrontshuv]

just ordered 57mm lock ins wish me luck

[typeischeap]

Made a couple of runs at wheels >54mm and always switched back. Lately been digging these 56mm AVEs (conical, not full) which pair well with wheel wells. Little less pushing at the park, a little more floating over street crust, feel exactly the same as my 54s on miniramp.

I grabbed a pair of conicals (not full) and it's definitely been my second favorite shape behind radials. I don't like the super big contact patch full wheels unless it's a cruiser board.

[FUBAR]

Lil Smokies are back too…bunch of shapes and smaller, too. Stoked.

Conical regular is I think my current favorite shape. For me they are a little harder to get out of Coping than classics but the smoother faster roll and I lock in on slides and everything else better it’s a fair trade off.

I skated another wheel brand's small wheels and every time I was on them I would think "man, if Spitfire made this wheel in a F4 it would be killer."

[swellbowed]

Dang, so there are 9 shapes in F4 now lol?

Curious about what the riding surface is for radial full 56s.

Normal radials are 21.5 mm and conical full are 25mm so somewhere in between I guess. 23mm?

Radial Full 56mm riding surface is 26mm & the 58mm has a 28mm

new spitfire drop up on the site

97a radial fulls

Fuck, my Radial Fulls are still fresh but I think I want them in 97A. While my general setup madness is mellowing out, Spitfire is killing me with the last few drops.

[tuesday]

Thanks, really good price but with shipping and customs it'll add up too much (I am in Europe).
