Spitfire formula four

[DaSk8D00D]

I've been skating the classics in 99d 53-54mm since the F4's came out but I just switched it up to some 52mm 99d Conical Fulls. The classics are starting to look/feel too skinny to me now, and I've been heari slot of good things about the conical shapes. Looking forward to skating em soon

[sharkin]

Honestly think small wheels on a huge board skates pretty great. I ride an 8.9 and my wheels are years old so they're super small and it definitely lightens the load on that thing.

I agree, my 8.625 popsicle has 52s worn down to like 47

[fulfillthedream]

NHS spacers are a different height compared to say, Bones spacers.

never noticed a difference between spacers. been using em on my classic shaped f4s and and they work great. doesn't calm the loud noise fast bearings make.

just wanted to pop in a re-iterate that

Spitfire Formula Fours are the greatest skateboard wheels ever made.

why do other wheel brands exist?  what's the fucking point?

Wonder what's up with the classic and classic full dimensions but conical and conical full pics?

[Zimmer]

The only thing I don't like about F4s is that I can never choose between 101 and 99. They need a 100d !!

That was probably one of the first spec graphics they made. Whoever did it probably just used a generic template to show how they divide up a wheel. the newer ones are better suited to each wheel shape

i practice what i preach.  here's a look at the menu for anyone wondering:

[Julz]

Are the classic full in 99d still a thing ? I've called the local shops in my area, no one has a single pair. Can't find them on SW and tactics. I've settle for the conicals, which are pretty much the same thing. But, I was wondering out of curiousity.

[144p]

I was told they are discontinued.

I've had a hard time finding white radial slims 101's anywhere online.  Hoping these stick around in the catalog for awhile.

We have a ton in stock.. Ask your shop to order some! 

[art hellman]

accidently bought a set of radial 101s... that GLOW IN THE DARK.  didn't even know that was a thing.



anything about the glow-in-the-dark chemistry that makes the wheels different than regular ol' 101s? 

cant really imagine a scenario where i'll be skating in pitch black enough for them to glow, but as long as they are gonna skate like regular F4s, then oh well. 

 ? 

[perverted super otaku!]

oh man Mr. Burns gif was too perfect there, jolly good show

[Paco Supreme]

Hey Lenny, while you're skulking around the thread>

I've mashed up colored f4s with regular undyed ones 1:3 ratio kinda thing. Think Lance or Grosso vibes.

Question is, in DLXs eyes do the colored wheels wear any different than the undyed ones or am i sweet to just mix and match as i please?

After speaking to our illustrious hard-goods guru, the verdict is that they should all wear the same as long as they are the same Duro to start with.

So mix and match away!

[Paco Supreme]

Thank you for that man 

[GinosGroceries]

Lenny/Reed I love you
Please let them know the tablet shape is sorely missed.
I need tablet shape Formula Fours in my life again

[Enrico Pallazzo]

First no more 99 Radials and now no more 99 Classic Fulls? Spitfire is really pushing those conicals.

[calvinsdream]

I actually prefer the radials quite a bit to conical fulls. Fuck.

I've still seen a lot of 99 radials. Where did you hear this from?!

As a STF V3 guy in Europe I was looking for radial slims in 101 to try them but they were nowhere to be found.

I think the radial slims are quite widely available. Maybe not in white that much, but the different color death adder versions seem to have been around for a while and available quite well IMO. Got a set of the green ones from some sale last summer. Planning to put them on this summer if my leg will allow me to skate.

Here's a few Finnish shops and one Polish shop that have the 101 ones in stock from a quick google search. I've ordered stuff from all of them and can recommend them all.

I have done some research on my euro bookmarks and I only found them in green, black and red. As I seen on their catalogue 101A are only available in colours. I understand you, white wheels and raw silver trucks forever.

I'm riding the 54mm conical full. Fuckin love 'em.

[close]

Thats exactly my next size/shape, what duro are you using?

Sorry, just saw this, don't really stray off too far from Useless and Video sections...

I have the 101. Great wheel. Gonna need new ones in another month or two.
I cant imagine anything other than conical full now, everything else seems so damn skinny/weird looking to me!

[Diocletian]

Anyone else on here unable to ever break away from skating 54mm 101a classic shape f4's? I've tried nearly everything else and nothing...nothing beats the size, shape, and slide.
