I usually skate conical full 54mm, I got AA wheel in 53mm since 54 was not available. Should have gone to 55mm, I can't feel the benefits of smaller wheel, but I can definitely feel the smaller contact patch on rough grounds.

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.

about 4 years ago, Reynolds had an f4 wheel on spit  called the “classic slim” had them in 52..not bad.
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

Those were great for smooth ground but fucked for anything less than perfect.

The one drop was in 99a, which is why I didn't buy them.

Hmm then maybe my classics felt small. I am probably wrong.

So I am learning to skate a metal ramp, Got drop in's down, learning to pump better, I am wondering what wheel duro and shape would be best? I was thinking a 53mm 99d Conical Full, Would 101's be too icy? Should I got up a few mm?

Bought a set of the gray radial F4's in 56mm for my tranny setup/hill bomber. I powerslide a lot and needed something that was not going to flatspot. Found em on eBay for $35 shipped, not a bad deal

Not too bad!

Have a set of orange 54mm 101 tablets that are on deck, they look very nice.

I can't tell any different between the 99a and the 101a. I do prefer the color blue. I can't stand the color Ded. Slobs succ

Anybody had this happen? Put bearings in this set of radial slims and when I went today to set them up noticed one of the wheels had split entirely to the core....sent in a note to DLX so let's see.

Yeah not so worried I'm sure they'll be good for it... More just really interested as this is a total new one! you can see little fibres of the urethane that tore inside. Makes me think of a fault in the mix / curing.

damn that's wild. I'm sure defects will be a little more common because they've been probably trying to keep up with all the demand. as stated though dlx has the best customer service and will right that shit.

I've had that happen on the first sesh with a set of radial slims too, late last year. Maybe a bad batch. DLX came through after an email. The other 3 wheels were still great though, ended up running them with an old classic I had while waiting for the replacement set.

Yeah they weren't bad by any means, no spitfire f4 is bad, but I definitely prefer radial slims over tablets. Some may feel the opposite.

Currently on tablets and I have a set of radial slims in 99a on their way this week. I tend to go back and fourth between radial slims classics and now tablets but to me the radial slims and tablets are pretty similar
