I'm in desperate need of new wheels but the shortage, as we all know, is making that hard. 6 months ago I couldn't track down F4s and ended up buying Bones STF despite riding Spits since I was a child. I fucking hate them and am scavenging for new wheels. I ride mostly transition at the park but do some street skating/ledges too. I want the 58mm conical full but those are nowhere to be seen. I tracked down some 60mm F4 classics, I was wondering if anyone has experience with these specifically for tranny. I'm worried that the roundness would boot me off the coping during 5-0 stand ups.
There are often two broad wheel types that people love or hate depending on which ones you are used to, the conical / square edge and the classic / rounded edge. Although I am way more a fan of the classic, I know a lot of people who have been used to the conical say they fall off the coping on the classic round edge. They are a bit different to skate, but once the classics wear down a bit with a wider surface they are really good and don't stick as much as conical wheels do, so they allow for longer grinds.
Right now I don't think there is much in the Formula Four over 56 coming out, but there are the 56 conical full so you could see if you can track down a set of those.
I would think that the 60mm classics would actually be really good and fun as they are a lot wider too, but that is just me.
I recall seeing this post, but right now I cannot get on their shop page, but Uprise skate shop show up to 58mm.
