Badbaldie:
had to come back to this thread just to see what other people thoughts were. at the end of the day your wheels so do what u like i guess. BUT that beeing said i think the lesson to learn from this is. .... if your not sure how to do sumthing then ASK first. (remember back to school days . measure twice cut once) as its been said in the thread , the 30 year old skyways COULD have been saved :'( and the new ones u bought could have been "sorted" as well so 2 sets of red skyways would have rolled on :daumenhoch: in stead of one set chopped up to bits and another set glued together :-\

Aeroplanes are held together with the same stuff! ;)

I appreciate everybody has a right to an opinion & also to voice that opinion :daumenhoch:
But come on fella's, this is a hobby about kid's bikes that we all enjoy.......some of you need to chillax a bit & not take this too seriously :daumenhoch:
Buz ;)

Ultimately they are your wheels and you can do what you want to them but i cant see why you didnt just drill the rivet heads off, use the other ends for one side and make your own rivets for the other side, especially as they are glued on anyway.
I made this in 2 mins with a bolt in a drill held against a bench grinder. Another 5 mins with some wet and dry and you would never know the difference :daumenhoch:

you could have just painted the mucky ones - tuffs look great painted
