Apex Fingerboard Wheels - Cruiser Bowl 71D Urethane - ABEC-9 Stealth - "Mint"

The Colorway
Mint is a soft pastel green with a light blue green cast, opaque and matte, identical on every wheel in the set. It's the color to run when you want the wheels to show up against a dark deck without shouting, and it's the one Cruiser colorway that doesn't read as a neutral. We blend the urethane ourselves and cast and cut every Apex wheel in New York, and because the pigment is hand mixed the green can shift a shade between batches.

What is a bowl profile wheel
Bowl profile wheels have a rounded cruiser shape instead of a flat street face, at a larger 8.7mm diameter. They roll over rough desk terrain more smoothly and suit setups built for cruising and transition rather than pure tech.

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.
• The face burnishes where it wears. The color stays, the texture smooths out.
• Don't soak the bearings. Water and cleaner strip the lubricant.

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?
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.
