Which Wheel Durometer Should I Use?
In fingerboarding, "durometer" means hardness. A lower durometer number means the wheel has a softer feeling, and higher durometers mean the wheel has a harder and smoother feeling. Our Apex Wheels are made in New York and are available in multiple durometers, shapes, and sizes.

65D and 85D Durometer:
