i got a set of aero zytecs im just about to have a go at bleaching.
if i remember though they were more of an off white than these were.
spin forever though.skyway should have gone down the sealed bearing route years ago.

You'd have thought they'd have been in there first with sealed hubs  :-\,,,,but

Skyway did sealed bearings in their 1984 3rd gen Graphites,Dave  :)




There were 3rd party companies who made sealed hub conversions for Tuffs that were bolted on too



Those Acorn's came up a proper treat  :daumenhoch:

dordymush:
you had to be posh to afford them fookers back then though lol.
i remember a place just up the road from where we lived in penkridge started doing a bolt in conversion but never lasted long  :-\

I got a black pair of these on my GT, roll really smooth, the rear has never run true, but they take my weight OK. Also just got a NOS pair in cream (Shop soiled) for £40 off the bay, I'm hoping to get them whiter, with the bleach method, these will go on my boys ride (Or he'll get the black)

bert4142:
I dont know if it is relevant but i used 50/50 bleach to water, 6 litres of each. was a strong mix, then rubbed em down with scourer and fairy powerspray.

Then rinse and dry.
