..back to the Z v Skyways discuss..

Good point rob they are only NOS once

Deffo skyways if your gonna ride it, they flex enough, but z's will be mental flexy, they were bad enough with a kids weight bitd, but with a grown up, badly doing tricks.....

If you ride it a lot, then i'd lose the skyways too, spokes, or new tuffs (get the fake ally hub caps) to stop you breaking your nice old ones, you'll be sick as a parrot if you see the tiny cracks around the hubs start to  appear!!

Just my feelings, its your bike, and very nice it is too!

I like both   :daumenhoch:

Half my DP's have been built with Z rims and the other half with Skyways  :LolLolLolLol:

like yella said: spare the oldies and go for spokes ...... or new tuffs  :LolLolLolLol:

..or white ogks  ::) ;)

I've been through this dilema many times and the best answer I've found is as above, ie buy a set of brand new, sealed bearing hubs for £60 off ebay, stick a set of false hub caps on them and reide the fookas as you will eventually crack the proper o/s ones or the hubs will pull in :-\

Currently I'm riding a couple of sets of well tensioned Araya 7X's for normal or track riding and a set of new sealed Tuffs for skateparks. I've bought a set of RadKaps to give them the o/s look and whilst the Tuffs do flex more, for 60 notes a set, who cares as they look fookin' ace :smitten:

Just my personal opinion :coolsmiley:
