    Love the Lock-ins. So much better on mini ramps too. The round conical edge helps get over coping and the tablet side locks-in perfect. Great wheel. Thanks for the in-depth review!

    Same problem I've been skating my tablets for 3 years and I finally got my tres back it has to be so proper, there's no 340 flips on tablets! But on the tablets the pinch on grinds is so good feeling and way more locked in and I'm looking for new spitfire wheels now, so thank you, I'm trying these next!

    I prefer the OG Classics to the lock-ins. They're over all narrower than the lock-ins, but with a slightly wider riding surface, so it's a lighter wheel with grip as good as the conicals.
    For the edges they are a nice middle ground between the super hard edge of the tablet and the rounder edge of conicals.

      So do I so it's weird having to have the graphic pointing out on these ones but flipping them around would defeat the purpose 😂
      Depending on how much you turn, revert and slide your wheels they can definitely become coned by the end of the life of the wheel but it's very slightly and not even across each wheel.

    This is part of my wheel nightmare/fantasy life... Nothing is perfect... And I am on a wheel journey... So 80's conicals protected your axle nuts... I now ride these same SF Lock-Ins at 52mm after riding the Powell Nano-Cubics, which have a similar shape only the Nanos protect your nuts... But the Nanos are 97a Dragon Formula (🤮Slippery Marshmallows is a better name for Dragon Formula...)
    The Nanos locked in so nicely that I was hell bent on an asymmetrical wheel. And so then I got a set of the Spitfire Lock-In FULLS in the smallest size at 54mm because they do protect your nuts and they are 99a!!! However the 54mm size wasn't my jam, so I got these regular width Lock-In 52mm which DO NOT protect your axle nuts... I put an extra washer behind and still the nut sticks out some. They lock in perfectly though.
    Snot makes the Wide-Boys in 53mm 99a and those do protect your nut, I have them on my Heroin 10" Curb Killer but they feel huge on my 8.25 daily rider and they don't have a lock in side...
    Alas I wait for essentially the Nano-Cubic shape in 52mm 99a NON Dragon Formula... so I ride these SF Lock-Ins for now. (
