For y'all who need it

[white guy in a durag]

The dimensions on the 60s are perfect. I know a shop near me that's getting them and I refresh their webstore every couple hours waiting for them to be added.

[Peepeeboy69]

i strayed from spitfire 99a f4s and got 103 stf. Worst decision. Wheels feel really hard when riding, but they're so difficult to slide and really loud when they do.

Also for some reason they were ridiculously hard to get bearings into, and exploded 6/8 of my bearings in a month. I'm really over them.

Thanks for the pic.

Really shows they are massively wide and I was wrong about them being the same as the regular Radial in a bigger diameter.


Took a close up of the size chart so it is a lot easier to see in here as well.

How quickly do these need to sell out before Spitfire realize that people want 57-60mm street wheels to be regularly available?

Sometimes it is not so good for the immediate budget, but if you do find something you like, try to buy all of them you can find so you will be set for a while (if not for life) with them.  I had done that a few times over the years and it has more often than not been a very good thing.  Sometimes though, your needs or wants change, and you get left with something, but more often than not, you can resell it for the same as what you paid if it is worth it to others who still wanted more of that size, shape, etc.


It would also help to get them to see people want more if they did sell out quickly.

Aren't harder wheels always harder to get bearings into

Depends on the wheel brand, never had any issues with F4 101a, Bones are a little harder but not impossible. But fuck Ricta and their cored wheels, worked up a sweat getting new bearings in and removing old crusty ones.

[Mbrimson88]

There is a fairly simple solution to getting bearings easily into or out of wheels, which works so well.

A little lube on the outside edge and surface of the bearings or even round the rim of the wheel (getting them out too) goes a long way to helping ease them in or out with minimum effort.

Bearings that have been in wheels for a long time are often the hardest to get out, but it still works well enough, one drip into the edge and use a screwdriver to wiggle the bearing a little back and forth and it almost always comes out very easily after that.

Does anyone know about shops in europe which has those radial fulls?

Does anyone know about shops in europe which has those radial fulls?

From looking up every single shop I could find, every single one is sold out of the Kader wheels.

Guessing the same is going to happen all over, if some areas even get them in at all, given how quickly they sold out there.

I know quite a few independent local shops don't put stock online, so get cracking in contacting all your local shops and asking for them, or even try to put your name / deposit down if you want some that badly.

I don't need new wheels, and I have been happily skating small wheels recently, but these tempt me nevertheless just because they are so ridiculously oversized.

[Bror]

Ive found some radial slims in 101a which im considering for my next wheel. Are they super slippery compared to my current conical fulls 99?

I want a wheel thats a little lighter than the CF and is not going to slip out on transition.

Probably could go with a regular radial or conical too, i've only tried CF and classics so far. It's almost like they got too many options..

If you like the Conical Fulls and just want to go lighter I'd just get the Conicals. Don't get 101A for transition, way too slippery IMO.

so half of my posts here have been me bitching about my local grindline park, which is relatively new AND under a bridge, so its slick as hell.

i actually switched from bones SPF to spitfire conical 101s, and while they are a little icy, they grip enough to where i don't lose any confidence.

that said if you just want a lighter wheel stick with regs conicals. they are much more common in 99a anyway.

[superleftswipebby]

had them 58mm radial fulls from kader's last drop with spitfire. surprisingly they werent as sticky as my 56mm conical fulls. and the radial fulls are ridiculously wide

[dr.prestige]

Anyone who has the new Kader wheels: how much does the wheel's shape protrude out over the axle nut? I may consider getting these if it's a decent amount of axle coverage because I hate grinding my axles on slappies.

[Gateway Hugs]

The axle is almost completely covered. The 60mm are so wide. FUN beasts!

[white guy in a durag]

For the US homies: Library has the 57s

The only thing that might save me from buying these is that I'd also need to replace my 169s with 159s to avoid hot-rodding.

You can use this code to bring the price down:

Just got a set myself

[munchbox]

like my wheels 50mmish but those 57 radial fulls look like the perfect candidate to wear down

worn and wide is the way to go for me

[Mbrimson88]

Anywhere you do see them, get them while you can.


Garage shop already sold out.

Library shop still shows one in stock.


I used to ride the Bighead 59mm wheels and they cover the wheel nut completely, same width as the 57mm.

You can also put three washers on the insde to bring the wheel out further if needed (which is what I did).

[OldGrayandMongo]

35th has the Kader at best price I've seen
