Session Anniversary Apex Fingerboard Wheels - New Street 71D - ABEC-9 - "Melted Mint Chip Ice Cream"

What does 71D mean
71D is our all round hardness, the middle of the Apex range: not too hard and not too soft.

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.

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.

How limited is this?
It's cast in a small batch for Session's first anniversary, part of the ongoing Session x Teak collaboration.

What does 71D mean?
71D is our all round hardness, the middle of the Apex range: not too hard and not too soft.

What is the D scale? How does it compare to skateboard wheel hardness?
We measure our compounds on the Shore D scale. As a reference point, our softest 61D is equivalent to 101A on the skateboard A scale, and higher D numbers are harder.

Do these fit all fingerboard trucks?
Yes. Apex wheels fit all common fingerboard trucks.

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.

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.
