skyways arrived today, struggling to get them on the forks though
HARORIDER:
just seen this,i did have new school tuffs on and axles went in ok although i did have to pull forks apart slightly to allow for washers but thinking about it was there a thing about the new school tuffs having 2 different types of axles fitted :-\

The 2010 wheels have new axles fitted in them because the guy that ordered them for the UK (Distributer) insisted they come with ridiculous axles. I had a chat with skyway earlier this year about it and they told me all about it. it is either a new axle or file and cut unfortunately :knuppel2:

If I line up the wheel to the forks it looks like it needs some spacers in there (I thought the washer and nut should go on the outside so the nut doesn't grind off the paint when I tighten it)
HARORIDER:
they do but some people also put thin washers on the inside too to prevent chewed up drop outs hence why the haro ones were pretty good :daumenhoch:
