Clairvoyant's Recycled Dual-Core Wheels Are Back, With More Colorways Than Confirmed Specs

From the brand's own post and the packaging shown in it:

• Product: Dual Core Recycleds, described as "more," which reads as a restock of an existing product rather than a revision.
• Construction: a recycled outer core with a hand-poured urethane inner core. This is printed on the pack, not inferred.
• Inner core hardness: 65D, also printed on the pack.
• Timing: Tuesday, 11 a.m. Pacific / 2 p.m. Eastern.
• Assortment: "a ton of sick color combos this time around."
• Where: clairvoyantskateco.com.

Still not stated anywhere: price, quantity, diameter, width, the outer core's hardness, bearing or axle fitment, shipping regions, or a per-colorway count. If you are matching a particular truck width or chasing a specific roll feel, those are the gaps.

The name looks like marketing. It is closer to a build sheet, and the packaging in Clairvoyant's own preview spells it out: a recycled outer core with a 65D hand-poured urethane inner core.

Worth being concrete about what "recycled" means in fingerboarding, because it is not what it means in most products wearing the word. It rarely describes regrind or offcuts stirred back into a fresh pour. It usually means someone has taken real skateboard wheels and cut and turned them down to fingerboard size — the used wheel becomes the stock. Look at the piles beside each pack in the preview: those are not pellets, they are cut sections, several still carrying the printed sidewall of the wheel they came off. The backing cards are collaged from skate-wheel packaging art, which is the same joke told a second way.

So the two halves of the name describe two different materials doing two different jobs. The outer core — the part that meets the ledge — is reclaimed skate urethane, with whatever durometer the donor wheels happened to be. The inner core is new, poured by hand, and is the part with a number on it: 65D.

That ordering is the interesting bit, and it is the opposite of the usual dual-durometer logic, where the new, controlled material goes on the outside and the cheap filler hides in the middle. Here the reclaimed material is the riding surface and the poured urethane is the structure behind it.

What is genuinely unknown is the donor side. Skateboard wheels are not one hardness, and a batch cut from several different wheels will not be one hardness either. The brand has not said what it buys, whether it sorts by durometer before cutting, or how much variation to expect between two wheels in the same pack. That is a real question, and it is different from the question the word "recycled" usually raises.

Very little, which is its own data point. The r/Fingerboard thread we're working from is the brand's own preview post; we have no rider reports on this batch, no side-by-side comparisons against the previous run, and no durability feedback in the source material. The brand's line that it's "always hard to have a favorite with every drop" suggests repeat runs of the product, so there are presumably people riding earlier batches — but nothing we can point you to and attribute honestly.

If you've got a set from a previous drop, that thread is the obvious place to say something useful about how they've held up.

If you're buying on looks and you already know how Clairvoyant's wheels sit under your trucks, a drop with a wide colorway spread is a straightforward proposition — be at the site at 11 a.m. Pacific, pick your combo, done. Small-batch color runs don't tend to come back in the same combinations, and that's the actual scarcity here.

If you're buying to solve a setup problem — you want a specific durometer for slick concrete, or you need a known fitment for a particular truck — the pack answers more than the announcement did, but not all of it. The inner core is 65D; the outer core, the part that actually touches the ledge, has no published number. Wait for the listing to go live, read the spec block on the product page, and buy from that rather than from the preview photo.

Clairvoyant has published more than most makers do, and the honest remaining caveat is narrower than it looks: consistency here depends on the donor wheels, and nobody has said how those are sorted. We haven't tested these, no one in the source material has reported on them, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
