Alloy Tuff II serial numbers

(1/2) > >>

duncan:
Question for any Skyway Tuff trainspotters,

Early alloy hub Tuff II's have a white serial number etched on the rim.
Do matching front & rear pairs have the same serial number, or do they tend to be consecutive (or even random).
It doesn't really matter, getting them the same colour and in good 'nick is enough, but I was just interested for future reference.

Thanks.

selfpreservation:
my pat numbers are the same 4280736 they are alloy hubbed but the number isnt on the rim its in the spokegap 2nd left of the valve

duncan:
I didn't realise there were some alloy hub tuffs with a Pat# but no serial#.
There was no serial# on very early 'metal hub' tuffs, or later 'plastic hub' tuffs either, so I suppose my original question is a bit pointless.
The serial# must have just been a brief idea for one generation of the wheels.

Thanks for the info.

Rombloke:
early tuff II's did have the pat no on the rim, but i think skyway figured out it knacked your brake blocks and moved it to in between the spokes.
there is also several versions of the metal and alloy hubs, the pattern of the 'star' changed at least three times, i have variants of these three said hubs......

Moose:
I've never looked at my tuffs close enough and i don't have any to hand, so is the number stamped into the rim of some tuffs (originally white) the same as the Pat#? Of course the Pat (American Patent) # is always the same, but on some tuffs there is also this number on the rim that I thought was a 'serial' number (but I never checked)?
