Spitfire formula four

[SirPizzaSlayer]

I thought the F1’s had sick graphics.

[FROTHY]

Today I switched out my F4s for a pair of classic formula Lance Mountain 59mm wheels. I was mainly skating around on concrete ground and a red curb. They felt pretty perfect for the occasion. They felt better than F4s, which I've held as the absolute best skate wheel for a while. I suppose the situation determines the optimal wheel.

I’ve had more flatspot issues with the classic formula so now I only fuck with F4.

Same, do the new OG classics have the issue where it's hard as hell to get the bearings in and out...anyone?

s it just me or did they change the shape of the F4 full conicals? Could’ve sworn they were more squared but the ones I just bought have rounded edges. Kinda bummed

I have to agree. I’ve seen some conical fulls that are super square and some with a rounded edge.

For those wanting to see a direct comparison of the Tablets with two other common shapes.

Top: 54mm Classic
Second From Top: 54mm Tablet
Third From Top: 55mm Tablet
Bottom: 54mm Conical Full

I shocked regarding the difference between 54 and 55 tablets, sure look like a damn lot

It's really noticeable! They're slightly larger than some Acid Wheel 55's I have, they look closer to 56mm.

Buy 55’s, get the 56th millimeter for free!

Basically! They also seem rushed. One of the 54's has a huge air pocket right on the edge of where the contact patch starts to round off and one of the 55's has this weird glob of extra urethane in the core making it impossible to seat the bearing in all the way. I returned both sets and sent photos to Reed.

I just got the 52mm tablets so far they are great. Faster than I expected them to roll. Always loved riding Classics and Conicals but always found the conicals too heavy and wide for me. Finally a square wheel thats as wide as classics!

Anyone here tried bleaching a set of f4s? I’ve found an old set lost in a closet and they’re yellow as Andy Roy’s old teeth. Thinking bleach might brighten them up a bit

everyone always talks about the off white color. but I swear, out of the last 4 sets of wheels I’ve had (all f4) only my most recent set of conicals were the off white color. all the previous sets of f4’s have been as white as possible.

[Paco Supreme]

These have sat for a long while, at least a year. In comparison to a brand new set of glow in the dark classics these are quite yellow.

Thanks OP!

Would love to see a side-by-side of the Tablets | Radial Slims

how do the tablet compare to the lockins? I am genuinely curious

The Tablet shape is like having the inside edge of a lock-in on both sides.
