We took all the feedback from the first release and have worked to make these even better. Apex wheels now include a Bearing Pocket - a full custom bearing lock that prevents the bearing from coming out except while using a bearing press.
Set of four Apex Series, Mini "Shorty" Shape All Terrain Polymer (ATP) Fingerboard Wheels in "Kelly Green".
These superior performing, highly durable custom all terrain polymer wheels are completely new to the fingerboard industry and exclusive to Teak Tuning. The Apex Series ATP wheels feature a low friction grip for a slick and smooth feeling while riding. The Teak custom hybrid polymer blend collects less dirt, and provides excellent control and performance on any surface, smooth or rough - indoor and outdoor. These wheels have a low level squeak when you powerslide across a surface or do a sharp turn. The polymer blend material is extremely durable and resistant to damage. These wheels feature a medium grip with an 85D durometer, and measure 6.6mm in diameter and 5mm wide.
These wheels contain premium bearings with an ABEC-9 rating. These bearings are our highest quality fingerboard wheel bearings. They are extremely smooth and completely silent. These are sturdy bearings that will allow extreme movement and control. However, due to them being greased and completely shielded, they do not have the free spin our "Ultra Spin" Edition bearings do. In actual use, they are extremely responsive and have a very free roll.
These wheels are designed and made in the USA using a premium quality, custom Teak blended, hard plastic material. Each wheel is casted and cut in New York. Colors are hand mixed and may vary slightly between sets.
Perfect for riders of all skill levels. Includes a free Teak Tuning sticker. Storage tube cap color may vary.

It came in great time and there was no damage to the item.
I ordered a Red Rover 32mm complete alongside this board, and those thoughts remain the same with this board as well. I got this 34mm to see which size I like more. After a couple weeks of use I don't have a huge preference, but I think I prefer the 32mm slightly over this one.
The only additional thought I have with this board is that the provided foam tape is 35mm x 110mm. Due to this board being 34mm long, there is not much room for error when placing the tape on the board and can take some time getting it right. The board length is only 97mm however, so there is plenty of room lengthwise to get the grip tape on correctly. Personally I think it should be shorter and a bit wider imo.
The complete is nice though, the 34mm trucks look nicer than the 32mm ones, and the board shape looks better and more professional at 34mm imo. I still recommend, but maybe order some extra foam tape as well, just in case.
Two minor complaints: The o-ring bushings were on by default, even though they were advertised with bubble bushings. It did come with them and was a fairly easy install, but the 2nd complete I ordered came with the bubble bushings on with included o-ring bushings.
Secondly, the board is marked as fully assembled, and while everything is put together... the griptape is not. This is fairly expected, but for newer members of the community/hobby, this may be confusing as it is not specified anywhere.
Overall though, the board is nice but a bit on the lighter side. The trucks with bubble bushings are nice, and the prolific foam tape has a nice feel. The wheels are a bit loud and are the grippiest, but they roll well and work well enough to do what you need. I later ordered urethane abec-9 wheels from Teak, and prefer those, but they cost significantly more ofc.
Either way, it's a good board. I got a handful of them to use instead of Tech Decks. The Teak Tuning hate is unwarranted imo.
I'm pretty surprised how sturdy this it. Solidly built and loads of fun to use.
New to fingerboarding and still trying to find the best setup for me. This is a great beginner board and will get a lot of fun out of it. I couldnt get pivot cups to fit on the trucks.
