is there a huge difference in the feel of a f4 101 wheel vs a f4 99 wheel? i don't know when i'll be able to get 99s but we have some 101s in the shop and i've never had those. do they feel much worse on rough ground? the difference between the 97s and 99s was noticeable, are the 101s that much harder? and how's the slide?
this has probably been answered multiple times but tbf i don't wanna scroll through 150+ pages so maybe someone here would be able to sum it up for me. thanks :*
In general there seems like there is a stable feeling of 99s no matter how many sets I have had, but between different sets of 101, some were more grippy and some were more slippery, so I don't quite know what was going on there.
The last few sets of the 101 Formula Four wheels I have skated from various trade backs or even one set from new did feel more on the harder, slightly slipperier side, but still very little difference in one step up from 99, compared to half a dozen steps down to the 97s, if that makes sense.
Given you have access to 101s and no 99s, I would say get a set and see how you go.
Curious to hear what you think of them too, but I don't think you would be disappointed in them, compared to getting a lesser quality / brand wheel and then wishing you had set up any other Formula Four option if you could have.
IMHO, yes. 101, noticeably faster on park/perfect type terrain, yet very chattery on rougher stuff. 99, good all purpose. Slower on smooth stuff. 97, good for crust. Slow and sticky elsewhere. There is no wheel perfect for all terrain.
Meant to add, yes I agree with all this too.
Well said.
That's why I have multiple setups all pretty much the same with different wheel duros, but sometimes it can be a bit more funny more than functional.
