F4 OG Classics

[close]

Say the truth with me guys.

I do not need new wheels. The wheels I have right now are perfectly fine dogshit and holding me back from achieving my full potential.

Fixed some typos for ya.

Rocklobster speaking the truth

[sharkin]

gonna need those 60mm OG classic F4s for my 215s

[YungJugg]

Just here to appreciate the F4 thread being on page 99.

[Frank and Fred]

I wanted a slightly softer wheel for winter parking garage and slippery spots and to make pushing through the crusty streets in the cold more appealing. So I have some 95a OJ nomads on the way but I already know my F4 betrayal will bite me in the arse and I should have waited for the 97a F4s... Forgive me Jim T, I'll be back.

the og classic f4 99 duro wheel is not the one we deserve, but the one we need

[BMCsteve]

I got these a couple weeks ago. Haven't set them up yet.

I opened the package and thought it was interesting they listed OG Classics in the chart. Wonder if there are plans to put out F4 in that shape

[BMCsteve]

Dude! thank you.  love that they're slightly slimmer than conicals but have a wider riding surface

We are almost to 101

[Big Baby Jesus]

Was hoping og classics would be the 97du f4 but regardless I am hyped on these two additions. Been trying to find a wheel that's perfect for my 8.75 polar football

I'm on 101 tablets. But with the colder morning and a bit more moisture during AM skate sessions, I find myself slipping out a bit more. Would the 97a (or the 95 OJs) make a noticeable difference? Or should I just suck it up?

I'll let you know tomorrow. I was on F4 101s all summer. Just set up some OJ 95as. I typically ride f4 99a. Really should have waited for the F4 97as. However, one thing I learned, is its good to try another wheel every once in awhile so I can come back to F4s and confirm just how good they really are.

That pic is hi res when opened, comes up very well with all the info on it being easy to read, perfect for everyone who wants specs of those wheels.

I wonder how much covid has put a dent in the production (obviously a lot) but I guess for now the select sizes are coming out and then the full size range will be slowly brought back as things go back to a more normal supply, if at all.

Anything is better than nothing though, but I could see these selling out a whole lot faster in the first few runs, just like the first Formula Four did whenever that was, 2012 or something?

[fakiefs180]

Any EU pals know where I can get 99a Lock-Ins? Preferably 53mm. Thanks in advance.

[munchbox]

are og classics releasing in 101a? that sounds like my perfect wheel

So, how were the OJs? I was at my local park and slipped out more times than I'd like. And since I only skate at parks, I might really want something with a bit more grip.

Posted in Big Boy thread but this might be my main set up for the next few months. If the wheels are bunk, I'll load her up on some F4 97a s.


-Dressen Slick. An nostalgic impulse buy last year that I finally set up.
-Indy 159 standards, 88a conical aftermarkets. 1/8" risers, long hardware for period correct authenticity.
-OJ Nomads, 54 95a. Was holding out for the 97a F4s but got antsy. Mix matched bearings.


Tried them yesterday. Not a long session but hit a few curb spots and a very crusty jersey barrier spot. They perform as advertised. Rolled over rugged ground nicely but you can easily get them to slide. On curbs they felt good as they are soft enough to have a controlled bite as you lay into a slappy but not so soft your wheel bounces off the curb if you hit it poorly. I did come nose and tail slides but I doubt they will slide well enough for blunt or lip slides, at least not for my lard arse. I wouldn't use them on my regular set up but for a fun crusty or slippery spot alternative they seem great. I'd even say they are a good cruiser wheel for someone who likes harder smaller wheels. Fun on hills also. I'm still looking to compare to the Spitfire F4 97s.

I thought you might like another point of view on the 95s.

[TastyBurrito]

Bless your amazing soul. 95s sound good.

Here's a shape comparison of a 52mm Tablet (101) and a 53mm OG Classic NonF4 (99)

I guess that is why so many people like and want the OG Classic shape.

And tablet too come to think of it.

I bought these 101 F4 Classics not too long ago, but sadly the left one has morphed into a sad shell of its former self. The rest of the wheels look like the one on the right.

I really liked the classics, so it's a bummer. The set of 99 Conical Fulls I had before didn't shapeshift like this one. I've since put the conicals back on my current setup since I saved them, and have taken all the classics off.

Damn dude thats whack. You ever rotate your wheels? looks like heavy wear and tear on the morphed ones and the other look fine?

What tricks are you doing or what kind of terrain are you skating that caused such uneven wear on that 1 wheel?

[Mesteezo]

Maybe the wheel on the left is his back foot heel side wheel / the speed check wheel, and it never got rotated?

[Shuh]

Am i the only one who think there is too  many square shapes in the F4 lineup?? I think they should delete of of those shapes and bring back classic full regularly.

Haha, just regular flat, curbs, banks, flatbars. Run of the mill terrain. No excessive powerslides or anything. I don’t really know what caused it. It sucks bc these are really good wheels.

I’ve never actually rotated my wheels before, but I’ll start doing that from now on. For some reason that’s never been on my radar. Thanks boys!

Oddly enough it was my back foot toe side wheel. It would make sense if it was heel side bc I’ve been doing a lot of bs slappies, but that wheel was fine.

[Murge]

Why does this spit look like it has tread?

[Firebert]

OG/Pro Classic formula come treaded. F4s do not.
