Apex Fingerboard Wheels - Slim Bowl 61D Urethane - ABEC-9 Stealth - "Grey & White Swirl"

The Colorway
Every wheel in this set is poured differently. The base is opaque white with charcoal to near black veining running in vertical ribbons around the wheel, and the density varies a lot, so one wheel reads mostly white and another close to half dark grey. No two match, which is the point. Underneath it's the same Slim Bowl shape, a cruiser profile on a standard size wheel.

What is the Slim Bowl shape
Slim Bowl is a cruiser profile trimmed to 7.5mm, so you get the rounded bowl ride without the full cruiser diameter. A middle path between street and cruiser setups.

Bearings and the Bearing Pocket
ABEC-9 Stealth bearings are our premium shielded and greased bearings: smooth, completely silent, and locked in by the Bearing Pocket. They don't free spin the way Ultraspin bearings do; in actual riding they're extremely responsive with a very free roll. The Bearing Pocket is a custom lock cast into the wheel that stops the bearing backing out unless you use a bearing press, so you can run the locknut fully tight without binding the roll.

Blend and Cast
Every Apex wheel in our urethane line is made in New York. We blend our own custom compounds and pour each wheel, the wheels are precision cut here in NY, and we press the bearings and pack every set in our Rochester shop.

Care

• Soft urethane squeaks on slides. You want the squeak.
• Set your bushings first. This shape rewards a tune more than a flat wheel.
• Every wheel is poured on its own, so the four in your set won't match each other or the photo exactly.
• Don't soak the bearings. Water and cleaner strip the lubricant.

Teak Guarantee

What is the Slim Bowl shape?

What is the D scale? How does it compare to skateboard wheel hardness?
We measure our compounds on the Shore D scale, which suits small cast wheels better than the skateboard A scale. As a reference point, our softest 61D rides like a 101A skateboard wheel; higher D numbers are harder and faster.

Why don't my wheels match the photo exactly?
Because they can't. Each set is poured by hand, and the pattern lands differently on every wheel, so your four wheels won't match each other or the photo exactly. That's the point of a hand poured colorway: no one else has your set.

Do these fit all fingerboard trucks?
Yes. Apex wheels mount on standard fingerboard axles with no modification and fit all major trucks, including 29mm through 36mm and wider setups.

What comes in a set?
Four wheels with bearings already pressed in, a capped storage tube, and a Teak Tuning sticker. Deck and trucks aren't included.

Are Apex wheels made in the USA?
The urethane Apex line is made in New York: we blend our own custom compounds and pour each wheel, the wheels are precision cut in NY, and we press the bearings and pack every set in our Rochester shop. The bearings are the one imported component.

What does the Teak Guarantee cover?
Replace or refund within 90 days of delivery for anything that arrives damaged or defective, or breaks in that window. Contact Teak Tuning with a photo, and see the full policy on our Teak Guarantee page.
