Just wanted to see if this was normal for F4...
Randomly noticed this chip tonight and only skated these wheels 2-3 times. Barely for an hour each session. Conical 54mm 99. Pics2 and 3 are shit- tough to focus properly and wheels appear more yellow in pics due to fluorescent overhead light.







Literally every set of F4s I've had has done that. I made a big deal about it at first when it first happened but after a while I stopped caring. It does make the wheels look all ugly and shitty though.

I hate classics formula too. Especially wide they feel even more dull, heavy and cheap.
F4 101 are okay. Not much of a difference to me but 99 f4 are a little smoother and slide easy enough.

The new classic's? I think I have some and I don't like them. They don't bark like old spits and get goosey sounding at colder temps. Seem grippy compared to old spits too. Probably more flatspot resistant cuz the grooves took forever for me to wear off, which actually led to some small flat spots. Oh, the irony.


How do F4's compare to old classics? The 90's or early-2000's stuff.
Or F1's? Those seemed grippy to me too.

I rode a lot of F1 Cole A.W.O.Ls (shape was tits); they felt great, barked but flatspotted easy.

F4s > All other spits, no contest

Used to hate the plasticky feel of STFs and swore by F4s....but now the F4s seem sluggish and not barky/hard to me so I am back on regs STFs.

Probably because there are people out there like me. I bought every set I could find during the initial shortage. I think I have 8 sets on ice

35thave.com got that heat get em while they hot baby! Save me some embers I’ve only ridden the natty color but I am eyeing some crazy color shit maybe even those lance mountains haha. I’m pretty sick but I never got a chance to medicate myself with some tablets  :o might try that soon too. This is where that stupid tag line should be, “ride the best, fuck the rest” type of bullshit because the wheels are that good.

Anyone notice a difference in slide, sound, feel between natural and white?

I've seen both. I like the shittier browner color. Its closer to 'natural' urethane. i can't stand bone white wheels...

Ya. Bones are a too white but I've still got 90's snobbery with white wheels. Makes me indecisive

I doubt they'll perform differently but in theory the natural ones have less additives in the formula...

Ya. I try to tell myself the same thing but I'm not as easily convinced like I was when that was said about dyes in colored wheels
I'll have to work on getting over that 90's mindfuck

I don't know if it's just me but I really hate how they open and take the wheels out of the packaging.

I bought 51mm tablets like 2 months ago when I had my Thunders but only rode them for like an hour. I put my Indy's back on with my old ass 54mm conical full's but since going down to 8.38 the other day I feel like the truck is too crowded and I can't get on coping that easy. Even 50-50-s feel hard to sit on, I have to ollie out earlier than I want to. Put the tablets back on today, but I did it after skating all morning so I'm too tired to see how it feels. Tomorrow though.

Thank you. I knew I wasn’t the only one but I’ve noticed a few shops do that now.
