Haven’t had the conical fulls in a long time? How have you curb guys been liking them?. I ride mostly the classics or radial slims as I’ve been afraid of having curb stuff be more difficult on the harder edged wheel

[close]

When they are new, there is a fairly small but still nicely rounded edge on them, but as they wear down, they definitely get a bit too sharp for what I like, hence the rounding off with an angle grinder in the pic above.

It also depends on which size as the smaller ones (53 to 54mm) are not half as huge as the bigger ones, which is why I usually stick to the Classic / Classic Full too.

I like medium width wheels when really worn down (Classics), or much wider wheels when they still have a little rounding to the edges (Classic Full), as they get on and off coping much more easily, but I am leaning more towards smaller / older Conical Full shapes on street stuff, which is pretty much how my other wheels end up anyway in terms of size and shape.

Not sure I would really ride the Conical Full shape from new, but they are still a good all round wheel for everything once you get used to the different feel to Classic shapes.

Thanks for the response, i plan on going with a 53 for street so maybe they won’t be so bad or maybe I’ll set them up and hate them. I had a set when they first hit in 99a and I liked them a lot but I skate much differently now

I think you would actually like the 53mm size and shape quite a bit.

Looking at some new ones I have here, they are smaller than most of the others, while still being a good size wheel.

Local shop here just got some in and I might cop a set.

Anyone have the DLXSF customer service email? Got a huge chip on my F4 Tablets 2 sessions in, wanted to hit them up for a replacement. Spitfire and DLXSF have been quite on IG, thought I'd try email.

There's a "hit us up" option in the top right menu here

https://www.dlxsf.com/

I haven't emailed DLX directly in like 3 years, but they were quick to respond when I had an issue with a BA deck I got awhile back

[beandemon]

I used the contact email form for some thunders a few months ago. Deluxe’s customer service is painless.

[rocklobster]

I used to contact Scott, he lurked on here for a bit but he mentioned in email he's moved on to another department.

If anyone is still after some Kaders, Tactics has them in stock on both sizes.  Just grabbed some 60s.

Everything else sold out super quick, so I wonder how long these will last.

Right now:

57mm x 22

60mm x 28

Yup Cameron replied after I dropped them a mail via the website, thanks!

[DeepSpace9mm]

Is anyone using those Kader radial fulls?

I need to see some shots of how massive they look on a setup.

Thanks.

I see that the hommie that was getting picked on in the set-up thread is selling some 52mm 101 conical fulls. What’s people’seses opinions on the conical fulls in 101. I’m about 140ish(lubs naturally(pounds)) and skating a >14” wheelbase(I feel like it strangely mattters but could be wrong).

TLDR(I felt weirdly young when I had to look up what this meant the other day)

Opinions on 52mm conical fulls 101 or just the shape and duro?

101 54mm Conical fulls are sick so those probably are too. I prefer 99 though.

It's been a while since I last rode my setup with the 52 mm 101 conical fulls, but I enjoyed them. I honestly couldn't feel the difference between the 99 and 101 formula, but my guess is since I typically skate 99 classics, the 101 conical fulls wouldn't feel more slippery because of the extra riding surface

That’s the wheel I’ve been riding past years, perfect for me, get ’em! Perfect amount of control and slide, also best duro and shape for powerslides.

[sharkin]

I skated 52mm 101 conical fulls and they’re sick. Nice low fast.. rides like a Porsche

[Mbrimson88]

I am sure 52 mm are still the most common size, but pretty much everyone I know buy or ride 54 mm and up, with 54 to 56 mm being the most common size.

The good thing with that is there are a lot of used wheels that come back to me, when they are 50 to 52 mm in size, which are wider than the usual 52 mm sizes, which I prefer anyway.

Comparing the smaller size wheels, they definitely have a purpose, but they almost look too skinny against all these other worn down bigger and much wider wheels.

anyone know what duro these are?? I can’t find these in any of the catalogs.. https://www.paradeworld.com/products/spitfire-classic-swirl-wheels-blackwhite-56mm-90-6661680726070/

Two things:

1.  These are the original 99 duro classic swirl wheels, great wheels in their time.

2. They are also rather unique, as they are not in the usual Spitfire packaging and at first thinking they were like the Navarrette swirl which is long out of stock, as far as I know, but I haven't seen these in this colour and graphic ever before, or at least I had some like them a while back, so they could have been a "team rider" or some other special edition.

Some of the Navarrette 56mm swirl:

https://olliedayskateshop.fr/produit/spitfire-wheels-swirl-pro-classic-navarrette-52mm-99a/


Could be just me but as far as more recent options, but the only ones I recall seeing were the orange / yellow swirl classics from last season.

https://www.tactics.com/spitfire/classic-skateboard-wheels/firefight-orange-yellow-99a


Seems like the Formula Four options come out once in a while too, some green / black conical fulls in shops now.  Most of the coloured wheels are not made in large quantities and usually sell out fairly quickly, but there still might be some around in places that don't get so much traffic, as I have found here and there.


Anyone else correct me if I am wrong though.

thanks for the insight! I bought them last night and they immediately said sold out after. I probably snagged the only pair. thought the packaging was weird but didn’t hesitate to buy since parade has good customer service. If they end up being 99a i’ll be stoked since i’m currently skating those black and green conicals you mentioned but i totally prefer classics over any shape personally!

I saw the post in the other thread too - interesting they came from a shop with mostly old stock, but should still be legit Spitfire wheels.

The only other thing to note is they are NOT Formula Four, so will have a slippery start until you wear the lines off and we always had to go a little easy on them at first until they wore in as they were so often flatspotted in the first week, more so than in the rest of their life.

Yeah, was just the orange/yellow classic formulas recently.
Also to add, there is Forumula Four (Radial iirc) swirls coming in Spring for all of you who like swirled wheels !

EDIT: Just double checked today, turquoise/green red and black red swirls coming in the Summer.

the only spot in canada that’s got the 60mm radial fulls

[Paco Supreme]

Oslo has some radials out soonish, I don’t think they’re kader huge, but there’s still a 57mm

[Mbrimson88]

^^ Yep, awesome wheels.



https://www.spitfirewheels.com/

Spitfire Holiday 21 catalog update has been up for a bit, but at least if anyone wanted normal radials, as Paco said, there are 55 and 57 mm Radials out, which are pretty good for size and shape for the slightly bigger setups, without going super crazy monster truck wheel sizes (Kader Radial Full shape).

I had a set of 57mm x 35.5 with 22 riding surface, from the first run how ever many years ago and they were great.

Kader 60s spotted in Germany

[TastyBurrito]

Went by a local shop after treating my folks to brunch and found some Kader Radial Full 60s.

No shame put them on when I got home and damn, these mofos are huge.

Haven't got to skate them yet, but I can only assume they're going to just coast over coping.

[manysnakes]

It's gonna be funny seeing all the 50 year old bowl Barneys and the 15 year old hypebeasts riding Kaders
