I don’t know if many of you guys follow 144p here on Instagram.
But some lower duro F4s have been popping up, 93d in a radial shape. Sounds interesting for a crust beater
Source? Nothing about this on any Spitfire channel, nor did I find anything about this upon searching the innerwebz.
It says right there, I saw all around good guy @144p post up a sample set, on Instagram. Kept it vague in case he wasn’t meant to do so yet.
A while back now Andrew Reynolds posted in his story, 95 duro F4 wheels to try. Never heard anything more from that but someone screenshot it and it is back somewhere in here too.
They are definitely out there and people, pro or shop guys alike usually get some to try and give feedback so they can adjust or fine tune them before anything actually comes out.

Sidenote: I saw this reynolds story a few weeks ago and just thought of it now. I wonder if Spitfire is brewing a response.
I feel I seen the other shapes hold up their color but the classics always seem nasty ass yellow. Would like a bigger size maybe stay more white like a 54mm? Cuz I know the harder duro is supposed to stay whiter tho
I think it is just down to age of wheels, more than certain batches, even though that does seem to have some part to play in it too, looking back at some wheels I have, but more than anything, urethane cures / colours when under uv light, so in a shop cabinet or just out in the sun for longer means that they will be more yellow than some other wheels too.
Keeping wheels out of direct light, or in a dark place means they tend to keep their pale colour longer, but looking at some different wheels, more recent sets that have come out appear a lot lighter in colour, compared to some of the earlier wheels, even from a year or so ago, from new.
The more additives, the more likely they will stay lighter, more pure urethane, more likely they will yellow or colour up too.
