Spitfire F4 Lock in fulls 55mm 99a

went from unknowingly buying the lock in full’s shape (because it was not displayed on the Grimple collab’s packaging) to riding Classics for the first time in over a decade and regarding the changes in the widths of riding surfaces… for me it was crazy like
ya the lock in fulls are big ol tires basically. i love them though
they are cut in like conicals on the outside but the inside is still flat, the curves are more gradual since they are wider all around so it’s less noticeable but that flat wall is still there
Idk about lock in fulls, but the newer lock ins that I bought were definitely not as flat as the first three sets I had. The inside was way more like a tablet. Very crisp edge. Now they're way more rounded on the inside making them like a slightly wider Connie full. based on my observations of course
I think the easiest way to explain it from a Spitfire wheel shape perspective is the front is still Conical Full (as it always has been) but the back as said is still flat from the bearing up but as also said, where it used to be a very minimal curved part from the side wall to the riding surface, much like a Tablet shape, it is still a straight wall, but now the curved part is almost like a Radial from the top of the sidewall to the riding surface.
Hopefully that makes sense, but yes they have changed the shape of them, as well as the bearing seat position too, because an older set of Lock Ins I had was way more set it, where as the newer sets are wider in both Lock in and extra wide in Lock In Full, but they now have a more rounded back edge, compared to the older sets too.
