It is fixed, you will not be disappointed!
Last set I had I rode for 2 months, no flatspots, no chunks, nothing wrong, just smaller than I wanted.

Just the 101a or both duro's?

I do like the feel of a slightly softer wheel, but if it's not as flatspot resistant (understandable), I'll just stick to 101a

I've ridden A bunch of different formulas with no name so not sure, probably had em.
I am riding the 99's currently with no problems.

I'll stick with stfs until reviews for these come out. Spitfire makes good wheels, I just can't afford to spend 30 dollars a month on them. I've had a pair of stfs last me like 6 months. Hopefully these won't flatspot and shit, though. Cool graphic, too.

bbk · « **Reply #185 on:** June 14, 2013, 10:51:07 AM »

i had mine for almost a year, barely even got smaller... they last

i had a set of the blue labeled formula four's and they were awesome. i had no problems whatsoever with them, aside from the fact that i felt weird skating 52mm wheels. i'd really like to try that conical shape when they eventually make their way into stores.

ice nine · « **Reply #187 on:** June 17, 2013, 12:55:43 AM »

the bones stf's i got just flatspotted in three sessions, the last couple pairs lasted me almost a year each

why conical over the flat one?

Seriously, what is taking them so long? Weren't they supposed to be out by the beginning of june?

The firm that distributes DLX here in NZ told me that'd they had been ordered and were expected to land here at the start of July. They're still up on CCS so I would like to say they will be rolling out in the next week or two?

b.v. · « **Reply #190 on:** June 18, 2013, 07:13:43 AM »

Can't get a straight answer from my rep, I'd imagine there is a big holdup somewhere that was unforeseen manufacturing wise.

Firebert · « **Reply #191 on:** June 25, 2013, 10:34:09 AM »

Are they making a 101 conical shape?

CCS has 'em expected to ship tomorrow, but I'm not supporting that shit.

Any news on this?

peewee · « **Reply #192 on:** June 25, 2013, 11:09:20 PM »

forget ccs, they change the date everyday haha, look tomorrow it'll say expected to ship on the 25th, and then so on and so on

foureyedjim · « **Reply #193 on:** June 26, 2013, 09:02:22 PM »

went to look on ccs to see how the shapes differ. Fucking useless, every picture is from the side except for the classic wheel.
You'd think a giant company like ccs could afford to take a few extra pictures of the product they sell.

Randozzi · « **Reply #194 on:** June 26, 2013, 09:29:46 PM »

if they have the product yet, could be using images Deluxe sent them.

Shape list with sizes etc

MUSH MILL · « **Reply #196 on:** June 26, 2013, 10:52:58 PM »

Nice find. Was looking awhile to find out what Tablet size and shape is. Ready to get these as stf have been main park wheels over 7 years. A change to keep things fresh. I love all the spit softer variations like 95a and 80hd. So smooth and fast. Highly recommended for dusty Masonite or oily parking lots.

190# heavy so flat spots occur at parks if I slip off ledges/rails awkwardly in unintentional powerslides. That even flat spots stf at times.

Would a wider FormulaFour will be more flat spot resistant (more surface area to lower overall slide surface area stress) than a thinner version? Speed checking a lot with tighter than average trucks is a habit of mine that wears wheels fast too. Maybe time to go wider. Anyone know if wider wheels help prevent this? Sorry for run on sentences. Typing on phone. Can't see whole screen.

Legend, thanks B.V

b.v. · « **Reply #198 on:** June 27, 2013, 07:10:19 AM »

So it sounds like the wheels take much longer to manufacture than expected, hence the long hold up.
Was able to finally place a prebook order for wheels, said 2 week of july possibly.

foureyedjim · « **Reply #199 on:** June 27, 2013, 09:19:14 AM »

Awesome, that works. In case anyone is wondering, I tried zooming in on the dimensions and it wasn't very clear but I think the full shape is a bit wider than the tablet shape.

Anyways, appreciate it b.v., I'll be purchasing the wheels off the 35th ave online shop as soon as you get the order in.

b.v. · « **Reply #200 on:** June 27, 2013, 09:30:08 AM »

You are correct, the full shape is a bit wider than the tablet.

Xen · « **Reply #201 on:** June 27, 2013, 09:55:27 AM »

Hmmm, I'm a fan of spit classics so shape is a no brainer, now to choose duro...funny they tout hi-rebound for the 99s, by that logic the 101s are low rebound? ;P

max power · « **Reply #202 on:** June 27, 2013, 10:03:37 AM »

i kinda want to try the 101's in the tablet shape, but now jesus fernandez rides for bones and i can get his wheels instead of jaws or whoever else.

Randozzi · « **Reply #203 on:** June 27, 2013, 10:14:55 AM »

damn good wheels.

Firebert · « **Reply #204 on:** June 27, 2013, 11:21:02 AM »

I'm definitely getting a pair of the full and tablets ASAP

I just got a set of the Formula 4s in 56 classic shape and I usually ride 52s... does anyone have smaller formula 4s they would want to trade for these 56s? Kind of a weird question haha

violentpizza · « **Reply #206 on:** June 28, 2013, 07:28:31 PM »

I got 52's in classic. Been riding them though. I usually ride bigger if be down

MostlyLurkin' · « **Reply #207 on:** July 14, 2013, 06:31:18 PM »

Well? Any news, b.v.?

Nate from DLX was happy to send me some formula 4's in my size, another reason I fucking love everything they do over there.

I couldn't be happier with the way they skate, been doing a bunch of powerslides and they still skate as smooth as when I first set them up. By far my favorite wheels I've ever skated and I honestly like the off white color. Thanks again Nate!

violentpizza · « **Reply #209 on:** July 14, 2013, 06:39:09 PM »

I dig the shit out of these. I usually ride 54-55mm but I got the 101's in 52 and they are great on the street. I hit a rock on the way to the store and it just kinda slid for a bit then shot out from the wheel. Didn't pitch me. That's never happend to me ever. I like em.
