Right

as mentined in my other thread http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=85247.0 I have a couple of rear tuff 2's I want to rebuild.  And as promised here's all the bits I can find that might help me do the job.  I have a feeling I have extras/bits that aren't compatible though.  Ideally I want 2 working rear wheels at the end without having to buy anything (I also have freewheels) but I have a feeling that I am short of the right parts.  Anyway if anyone can help me out in identifying what goes with what I'll be chuffed.  Just fyi the graphite hub has got nowt at all in it whereas the standard alloy has what look like partial cups in places but no 'top' cup to hold loose bearings in place...to me anyway!







So...can anyone help me out?

Cheers

You need some ball bearings for the standard rear tuff. Is the graphite a re-make or original. Tuffs didnt run sealed bearings until 2005.

Ok but what would hold the bearings in on the standard one?

The rear hub is bolted in so its probably a remake.  The wheel itself is an 83 graphite but I don't know when the hub was put on there..

mate you need 2 axle replacement kits and a set of bearing cups to make them perfect :)
axle replacement kits are about 12 quid a wheel and good luck finding the cups although i,ve heard others say they fit off other wheels :)

I hear ya man but I'm sure one of the parts shown above is a just out the packet replacement peregrine replacement axle?  Also shown are some assorted sealed bearings which I'd have thought I could use?  I've followed links on a few threads I've searched out and I'm not 100% sure they come with anything I don't already have - what is it thats missing from what I show above?   Maan this is doing my nut in I just want to get going but knowing me I'll only screw it up and end up having to buy more than I needed to lol.

cheers for the help so far...
