More Tuff 2s

GavinKent:
Right, I've just bought my second pair of Tuff 2s in 1 week.  I always wanted a pair for my BMX when I was 15 back in 1985, and now I've bought 2 pairs in 1 week - but when I'm 38.  I returned the first pair which cost £105 as they were damaged.  This new pair cost £40 and look pretty okay.  The rear wheel has the alloy star shaped hub thing, but the front doesn't - although it says Tuff 2 on the wheel and has patent No: 4280736.  They do look a pair but I thought both wheels should have the alloy hub, being 80s.  Once again I need the oracles to advise, until I learn all this!!  Any ideas? 

Thanks

early ones have metal hubbs front and back mid-late 80's
have plastic fronts

munners:
If the rear iis an alloy hub and a front sealed then the chances are they are 80's originals as they also came like this as a pair.

GavinKent:
oh good, so I have got 80s ones!!   :daumenhoch:

I still have a set I bought in 1985, & was offered the choice of alloy hub or later style you have.

As above, they came this way with the alloy back hub....so I would say they are mid to late 80's  :daumenhoch:
