Spitfire formula four

[shmazz]

They’re real good. I think they’re a bit more expensive than most of their other wheels, but they do last a long time and wear out nicely without any flat spots.

[Diocletian]

Been riding F4’s since they came out but for some reason never tried the conical or conical full shape. I think I ventured into trying some radials and radial slims but always went back to the good ol’ classic shape. Well, two sessions now on some 56mm 99a conical fulls and man...these are the best fuckin wheels. Super loud chirp, easier to break into a powerslide than the classic shape, yet still grips when I need them to. Might be a conical shaped wheel convert now.

good timing

Should I get 101 conical fulls or 101 classics 53mm?

[close]

depends on what you skate and what you want out of your wheel, though either way I much prefer 99s

Idek what I skate, Mainly hills and some flat ground, I wanna try to skate vert.

Conical full, on 99, is your wheel

99 feels a bit soft to me though, I rely on that extra bit of slide on 180's and powerslides, perhaps you're right...

[Fred Gerwer Frank Gall]

F4 99s slide just fine. I'm on some 101s right now and I definitely prefer the 99s. The 101s are just a little too icy for me. More of a ledgetarian wheel than a hill bomber.

I could see that, I had a pair of 101 conical fulls that felt really good on certain hills, depends on the type of concrete, if it was that smooth tar stuff then it felt way to icy.

Classic Full would be like the shape of the Bigheads?

[sadnocomply]

A classic full is basically a radial with a smaller contact patch if anyone was wondering. I have a 54mm classic full lance mountain next to some 54mm kader radials and it looks like the same shape to the untrained eye

I need visuals and dimensions haha. Classic full like between a classic and a radial, but OG classic like a conical full? and bigheads are...?

[144p]

I would imagine they are beyond inundated with existing orders and not getting to any new projects so doubtful a 54 will be out soon. Basically if you see a wheel that is close to the shape and size you want you should buy it because in a month or so there may be even less options.

How are the radials?

Not what you asked but just in case:
Radial 54 vs classics 53

[sharkin]

Classic fulls are classics but wait, wider.
Just shove a few more mm of contact patch. They’re cool if you want those classic edges but a wider wheel.

I didn’t care for radials all that much. Classics if you want a small wheel, conical fulls if you want a big boi.

All the shapes are good though. Just buy whatever tickles your fancy you won’t be upset.

Slim pickings out there in the distribution world for F4 right now . Literally can’t find one set of wheels

[Esmith5488]

You won’t find a bad f4 shape. On tablets now but I have a pair of the seasons classics just sitting and I’m hoping boredom doesn’t cause me to set them up when I don’t need too. Also been wanting to get another set of radial slims but 53 is kinda hard to come by in 99a so maybe it’s for the better

I have looked far and wide for the perfect set up that restores my youth, but more importantly restores my 360 flips and kickflips. Because I don’t really feel like I’m skating unless I can land those. No luck yet.

56s will be 54s soon enough. And you might like 56s. The COVID has helped me make do with what I have, still get out and have fun, and these ideals or preferences I have don’t change much in the way of results.

We used to buy what the place had, not saying that’s the best route as a consumer, but Goldilocks wouldn’t have been so picky in a pandemic.

Yeah I fucked something up here in my quoting.
To be clear, I was trying to quote/agree/add my own thoughts to what 144p said.
To whit: there isn’t as many options available, as a tribe we might need to chill on tweaking out about the small details.
This can be liberating and open up new avenues/paths, inform new preferences.

I am actually trying to purchase wheels for a shop. deluxe just hasn’t gotten back to us, we’ve been open over a year , and still nothing in terms of getting hooked up direct thru them, so we use AWH/ Eastern.

hell yes, 53 f4 classics are the best

[FrenchFriedClownFingers]

i've been a bones guy for a long time now but i want to try spitfires are. i never see a spitfire shape like the bones v3 though

radial slim.  not the exact shape, but that would be the spitfire V3 equivalent

There really isn't one since Spit doesn't have a 'slim' tech wheel; Radial slims are closer to the BONES V2

The V3 is basically a skinny V1, so the old Reynold's classic slim would have been the closest.
