Testing out the spitfire formula 4 “OG Classic” shape & comparing them to the “Conical full” as well as weighing them next to each other along with the classic and conical shapes. Which wheel shape is best for you?

Damn, I'm glad over 100 people were stoked for me! I actually haven't done one since then, as I've gotten a 10 inch deck and some shoes that ended up having a long toe box, so kickflips are way tougher. Instead though, I've learned to manual ollie recently, and that feels super fun. And just about every boneless and no comply I can think of, too. I find every type of skating fun

Love me some 58mm OG Classics. They are my fave wheel for transition on old pitted parks. I ride SPF P5 shape on newer glassy concrete. The shapes are not too dissimilar and TBH if Spitfire made 58mm OG's in 101 I'd probably pick them on the smooth stuff. There's something about that F4 urethane.

OG classics are easily the best wheel. They slide soooo nicely and are pretty smooth on crusty ground. Very easy to manipulate and make rolling away from tricks a lot easier. Even the 52mm can be used for a quick cruise and will go over a lot, cause of the wider riding surface.
@hou5eheadjason7 ай бұрын
I skated the conical full 52 mm and enjoyed it , I noticed increased stability for flatground tricks on set up I was able to do tricks while rolling really fast easier , started skating the classics in 51mm because of sewa's setup , now ive been skating bones STF 51mm 103a and love them they have a unique grip and feel , I had flatspotted some F4 spitfire classics withing a week while getting stuck on a pebble good so I switched to the bones back on now its my main wheel at the moment . I may give the spitfires a chance again but ive been enjoying bones stf's , I like the aesthetic of the pure white wheels , and when skating parks they clean themselves and look fresh

58mm is a big wheel, man! If you’re trying to pop your board and do flip tricks they may make it a bit harder also cause some unnecessarily wheelbite, but if it’s to cruise around on and skate transition they’ll be fine. What truck are you using with them?

Light trucks are not for everyone. I’ve heard a lot of people say they prefer to have some weight in their trucks so it’s all up to your preference. I didn’t notice any major differences in slides or riding aside from feeling faster from more surface area but the OG’s do lock you into grinds more

Hey man, I've been thinking about getting some better parts, I have a spare set of decent bearings and I was looking at all these wheels they make. I was looking at the powell-peralta green dragons but they all look interesting. Spitfire has all the side profiles with names but the wheels look similar in materials. Both claim to have a formula developed over ten years. Anyway, the wheel I was going to buy is 56x36 or something like that. The width was like 2 millimeters more than the next size under. Do most wheels fit on the skateboard axles? My concern is that the nylon lock nut won't thread all the way. My trucks are all your basic 8" trucks, and I have like 2mm poking past the lock nut. You think I will have a problem getting wider wheels? I have 2 boards, one with 54mm and one with 52mm wheels on it now, and they're just your normal skinny tech wheel. I used to have some spitfires back in the day that I loved, they were called firelite cores or something...I got them down to the core and felt like, 'that was a good wheel'.
@mistersootyАй бұрын
The Spitfire Classic series is so confusing. Used to be a different formula, slightly softer feeling than F4, I loved them. Then they bought out F4 Classics, alongside OGs in the actual Classic formula to differentiate between the two, so I got the OGs. Loved them. Now they have F4 OGs and the classic formula is nowhere to be seen. So I give up.
@dadboardАй бұрын
So the classic shape is the rounded edge thinner riding surface wheel, they make those in the old formula and F4’s. OG classic shape which is the square wheel that has the sidewalls that concave in are only available in F4’s. I agree it is a bit confusing unless you’re a wheel nerd and know all the shapes and shit
@mistersootyАй бұрын
