Apex Fingerboard Wheels - New Street 71D Urethane - Ultraspin - "Forged Grey"

The Colorway
Forged Grey is a dark charcoal, opaque and flat, matte across the whole set with no marbling or fleck in the urethane. It's the set that disappears under the deck and lets the trucks and griptape carry the setup, and it's the most forgiving colorway we cast when it comes to showing ledge dust. We blend the urethane ourselves and cast and cut every wheel in New York, so the color is hand mixed and sets vary slightly.

What does 71D mean
71D is our all round hardness, the middle of the Apex range. Firm enough to slide predictably, soft enough to grip through a manual. If you ride one durometer for everything, this is the one.

Bearings and the Bearing Pocket
Ultraspin bearings are our free spin bearings: unshielded and dry, so the wheel spins long and loose off a flick. They're the classic fingerboard feel. 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.
• The face burnishes where it wears. The color stays, the texture smooths out.
• 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 71D mean?
71D is our all round hardness, the middle of the Apex range. Firm enough to slide predictably, soft enough to grip through a manual. If you ride one durometer for everything, this is the one.

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.
