Spitfire formula four

[Noble Experiment]

I actually remember my first few sets I had when they first came out all those years back being a lot more of a darker tan color and then over time as the years passed they got lighter and lighter.

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Just chiming in to say that yes, the hype is deserved. The first couple of sessions on my conical full F4s have been great, they're super smooth and fast on the concrete I ride.

Think they are back to dark again. The more off white the better IMO...

I think a 53 classic with the orange and white is A1

53 conical full or tablets? looking for a smoother ride on nyc crust but it's hard to tell the difference just by the measurements spitfire provides

[close]

Conical fulls. Width helps smooth out crust.
Idk how crusty NYC is but 53-54mm is for smooth-ish ground to me. My homie out there rocked 53's but he probably skipped on extra crusty spots. 55-57mm for real crust?

[close]

Meh, biggest thing I've skated for years is 54mm. I live in PA and there's next to nothing that's actually smooth here. I've said it in another thread but I got 54mm pennswood winter tires. They're cruiser wheels(so really soft) taken through a lathe to make them smaller. They've become great for a real crusty spot. Otherwise, I go 53 or under and don't really have much of a problem. The wider the wheel the better though.

If my feet vibrating to the point where they feel numb I start wanting bigger wheels. Maybe I'm just a wimp? I'm usually in classics tho so wider should help. I gotta go wheel hunting..

shop had the 53 conical fulls in 99a. wanted to try the 101a but would rather put money into the shop instead of shopping online, especially in these times. neckface graphic.

took them for a spin to get some grip in the contact patch and holy fuck they go. the hill nearby my apartment is twice as fast on these spits compared to my mini juices. the usual shit in the street that would try to pitch and kill me was not a problem. as it stands, i might have to get a pair in 56mm for the cruiser and just never ride softies again

After riding some really, really wider conicals this is my plan too.

i felt the same way. was trying to run radial slims from 52 down to 44mm and i quit at 48. was tired of explaining why i didnt want to skate certain crusty spots and got conical full 53s. these shits roll over anything i swear. can see why people ride the 58s as cruiser wheels, they are much faster than my mini super juice at 55mm 78a

what f4 shape is this

Lock-ins?

the oskis i has werent as wide, i guess these are bigger

[DaSk8D00D]

Loving my 53 101 Tablets so far. Skinny enough for easy flips and locking into grinds while having a wide enough contact patch to handle some decent crust

Oskis, the one with the shirt graphic, are concial. I remember other ones with h a dragon that are radial.
Maybe he ones on the photo you showed are 56mm hence wider. Again, I'm not 100% sure if those are radial, is just my guessing.

[FakieDisaster]

i guess i am not the only one out of 100+ pages in this, but just want to confirm, may i conclude that the blue ones are 99du & the red/orange? ones are 101du? ohwait, theres green as well

They usually are labeled near the inner ring of the wheel but yes, blues are usually 99 and red 101. But just read the core if its labeled.

This may sound newby but what wheel feels best for flip tricks?

[giantbeardedone]

For anyone who's ridden both conical full and tablets, do they handle roughish ground the same? they have almost identical contact patch (21.5mm conicals vs 21mm tablet) so theoretically they should ride the same but tablets are lighter so should be easier to flip?

Hoping someone who's ridden both can hook me up with some info. Thanks.

I just got some 52mm classics to put on my set up instead of the 53mm conical fulls I had been running. Clearly I have not been keeping up with this thread as that seems to be against the general consensus. I got the classics solely because I think they might flip a little better and all I'm doing these days is skating flat in front of my apartment.

Been thinking about skating classics, 101 53's. Or maybe 51 101 radial slims/

hows the difference in feel? Rolling and also flipping?

[Boog]

For anyone who's ridden both conical full and tablets, do they handle roughish ground the same? they have almost identical contact patch (21.5mm conicals vs 21mm tablet) so theoretically they should ride the same but tablets are lighter so should be easier to flip?

They both feel pretty similar in regards to regular riding. The tablets are better for flipping and conical fulls are better all around wheel for parks and street.

thanks bro. if they feel the same-ish cruising over pavement I think I'll dig the tablets. I'm a giant riding an 8.75 so any weight I can shave helps, even if it's only in my head.

I believe tablets just came out last year? My phases with F4 was Conical Full, lock ins, now I am into Tablets. Game changer for me!!!
