Apex Fingerboard Wheels - New Street 61D Urethane - ABEC-9 - "Coyote Tan"

The Colorway
Coyote Tan is a solid, opaque wheel: a warm bone beige that reads closer to oatmeal than to white, with an even matte surface and no streaking anywhere on it. It's the quiet colorway in our urethane fingerboard wheels range and one of the best sellers in this shape, because it sits under any deck without fighting the graphic. At 61D, equivalent to 101A, it grips like a real skateboard wheel.

What does 61D mean
61D is the softest urethane we pour, equivalent to 101A on the skateboard A scale. It grips like a real skateboard wheel, holds a line, and rides quiet.

Bearings and the Bearing Pocket
ABEC-9 bearings are shielded and greased, so they run smooth and completely silent. 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.
• A pale wheel picks up grind marks faster than a dark one.
• Don't soak the bearings. Water and cleaner strip the lubricant.

Teak Guarantee
All Apex wheels are backed by the Teak Guarantee, which covers items that arrive damaged, defective, or that break within 90 days of delivery: we replace or refund. Reach out with a photo of the issue. Full guarantee details.

What does 61D mean?

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.

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?
