Retro 24" Tuffs. Cool, or just plain daft?

I'd go spokes, especially if you're going to ride it. But, it's your bike so you go for what makes you happy.

Ditto , go spokes IMO  ;)

Id think about using a set of black ones on my 24" challenger. I only really ride it around the streets, and what could look more "BMX" than a set of Tuffs?

spesh:
had tuffs onb me gt looked great but where the spokes joined the rim the was a raise lump on the braking suface which felt like it had warped discs
did think about having them "skimmed" but just sold them instead

One of the guys on vintage will soon be selling retro 24" T-spoke Skyways in both colour and graphite versions, and I'm toying with the idea of buying a pair of the latter from him for my ongoing XL24 project. It's an odds-on certainty that they'll look supercool, but I don't think I've ever read anything complimentary about cruiser-sized tuffs. Lots of flexing problems and weight seem to be the main drawbacks, and I seem to recall that you don't get that nice a bite when you hit the brakes, even if you use tuff pads. Is this right?

So my question is this: is it worth the $360ish (with postage to the UK) outlay when I have a perfectly good set of ukai's built and ready to go? I sense this has disappointment written all over it, especially when you're used to quality standard wheels...

What to do? :-\

Snap his hand off T SPOKES
not H section like the the modern ones Colouredtuffs sell

Thats a good price it'll cost almost that much for some H sections like on Spesh's GT above

but T spokes like on Ron Burgundy's  Redline are the Old schoolers ( have they got alloy hub aswell )
