What is the fascination with wanting to chop up Skyways at the moment? :tickedoff:
From having two sets of wheels that could be saved/ridden, we now have one set that definitely can't and one that possibly can't.

Thank's guy's for all the comments, good & bad ;)
I bought the used set with every intention of restoring them, it did state in the "for sale" thread that one had a slight crack but not that one of the hub's was caved in slightly. Then the nos one's came up on the bay so i had a plan >:D It's not that i was being impatient, as i have been trying to get hold of some alloy hubbed tuff's in red for over a yr. A minty set of used red one's went for about £255 on the bay last wk, these worked out much less doing this way. I realised i was never gonna please every one going down this route, but need's must. I see this as enjoying a hobby that take's me back to some happy day's during my teenage yr's & am now getting the bike's i could only dream about :smitten:
Buz :daumenhoch:
antiquebmx:
good job but just wondered what this has cost you all together including time ??
must be close to the £255 ?
dordymush:
so would that glue hold them if ever ridden ?.
just thinking down the line if you ever sold em and some poor fooker took em out for a spin :crazy2:

You could/should have just drilled out the old rivets, gone to a metal merchants who would have supplied you with some metal rods, given them to the man Sawzell who would have replaced your rivets to near perfection.
Like whats been said, why chop up a RED set?? Black we could live with as they are everywhere, but RED :crazy2:
Oh well.....another set bites the dust :(
