My 99a conical fulls are just crazy rough on my local crusty streets. Jarring even conical fulls. Do I need to give me break in time? I also had very hard time getting bearings in. Might’ve been bc they were delivered today via 90°+ usps truck? 
But had better luck/feeling with classic formula. I’m sure at parks or smooth paved ground they’re amazing but I just can’t find

Ya, my 54mm 99a conical fulls ended being the same on my streets (no trouble with the bearings, though). My older 51mm 99a Radial Slims actually felt a little bit better over the same terrain, which was surprising.

On day 1 my 99a (conical full) were louder than my past 101s (tablets), feel rougher on the feet, and slide just as easy. The 101s were feeling good at my usual spots (mix of crust and smooth) but when riding round the city they’d ice so bad on quick turns. I can’t judge em off the first session but like you, I hope these break in well because they seem the opposite of what I was looking for.

ok good to hear it’s not just me.. interested to hear more detail on that. Did the 99-101 formulas change at all?

might just try OG classics or SPF mike Anderson’s

Okay, I thought I was crazy.  I feel the same way.  I have a pretty recent set of 52mm/99a F4 Conical Fulls and they feel unreasonably hard to me.  Really rough, jarring ride in the streets.  I want to like them and I keep waiting for them to break in, but they're just not any fun to ride.  I wish OJ would bring back the 92a Ditch Witch wheels.  Anybody else making a 92a modern shape wheel these days?

mini logo hybrid 90a? come in a-cut or classic shape
[close]

Think I’ll check those out, thank you!

Mini logo 90a definetly feel softer than 90a. I have keyframes and they feel the same.
What about  ML 95a?
[close]
The 95a’s are chill, I have a set in black, they are pretty bouncy and soft feeling but still slide when I do back 180s. I wanna get a set in white sometime instead of black. They ride over crusty ditches really well too.

What shape 95a do you have? Need to keep an eye out for the whites for cheap

VU just got a massive shipment in.  No connection to the shop but have dealt with them before and they are great people.

ha, Solstice asking how. Someone replied saying Mexico is back online? As in the factory back to producing?
SPoT just got a healthy restock of formula 4s as well.  Production must be coming back.

I got these a couple weeks ago. Haven't set them up yet.

I opened the package and thought it was interesting they listed OG Classics in the chart. Wonder if there are plans to put out F4 in that shape

If they are listed under that F4 banner I'd guess we'll see them soon enough!

Anyone know offhand where I can find a set of 53mm radials or radial slims?

If you haven't had luck I have some new 54 radial slims in my stash I'd part with.

I honestly thought the OG shape and the Conical Full were the same shape until seeing that new packaging card with the leaked F4 OGs. I haven't skated a 97 in decades but I sorta remember they slide less easy and still suck on rough ground. Maybe they're lovely in parking lots?

The package descriptions are odd. How do tablets have a “thin” riding surface, while classics have a “medium” riding surface.

Stoked to try the 97a OGs.

I love the idea of a 97a F4, but yeah.

Currently on 101s and they are a bit too glassy for me. We all know 99s rule but 97a F4s will have to be sampled. I've been using the  Classic formula as my "Winter wheel" but these excite me.

Looking forward to the feedback on these... hope they skate softer than advertised but probably be hanging onto my setup with Keyframes as yet. I find 99s a tiny bit slow in parks (but only compared to 101s... still prob the best wheels I’ve ever had)

If these hold up against flat spots and slide even half as good as regular f4s then I'm gonna be a happy man

Sure, they're softer and will probably slide, but 97 isn't near soft enough to be a good cruiser wheel.

If they can make a 97a that is really forgiving on shitty ground and has good grip but still slides with the ease of a 99a or 101a F4 when you want them to then I’ll start believing world peace is actually obtainable again.
