These wheels seem to do well resisting the asphalt black plague that coats your wheels if you spend anytime in the NYC streets. Maybe it's just because they have no tread but I don't think so. This alone puts them in a class by themselves to me, like spitfire really figured something out. I tried stf's for the first time early in the summer and after finding the v2 shape, thought they would be my new go to wheel (not too plastic at all, which is why I avoided them for years.)
I'm on the classic 99's. But have the tablet 101's coming. I have a feeling those and the v2's will be at war for preferred status.
The no black plague thing is big, and the urethane does seem to be new level...But I'm not gonna front on stf's, the quality of which I've been marveling at all summer.
It's a good time for wheels. haha
