Title: anyone know if these are graphite tuffs?
Post by: griff on October 30, 2010, 12:47 PM
good afternoon radsters

anyone know if the any of the black standard reissued tuffs came with gold hubs, or only the graphites?
I know from looking on colororedtuffs.com that not all graphites have the logos on them, but wasn't aware of standard ones with gold hubs?

these were described as just 'black'

please let me know  :daumenhoch:

cheers

that's got it - excuse the resolution but the hubs looked just like the graphite ones before I grabbed the image

the pic on ebay looked fine - was just my screengrabbing software turning it into a gif file that did that
(check the link above for the actual pic)

crossing my fingers for next few days!

looks like a stock photo but the description does say anodised hubs
and although feedback is quite low all looks good and from people with decent feedback themselves (not buying stuff for f**k all)

if it all goes pete tong theres always the paypal police  :police:

will let peeps know how it goes as the same seller has a lot of tuff pads up for decent price

cheers

doesnt mention graffite in the disciption so expect normal new skyways.... :-\

true but the pics show gold hubs and the description says the hubs are anodised

if they turn out not to be the wheels pictured then I'll get the paypal police on the case  :police:

let's see what turns up in the post

To be fair it does state they have annodised hubs and come with 14mm bolt adapters.....the new graphites come with those and the normal ones don't.

update

turns out the seller had used the wrong picture :(
they apologised & offered full refund, so it looks like I'll be getting some regular tuffs instead...
ah well, at least I'll be saving a bit of cash and won't have to deal with the ball-ache of paypal disputes

still, was worth a punt!

I think I'm probably  just going to stick with the regular tuffs sam, tbh I only thought about graphites when I saw a pair go for under a ton on ebay the other week

Feel free to shoot me an offer/pics but I'm on a tight budget!

cheers

update - looks like he did have graphites after all, but now selling them at £175 a pop
must have realised he had something a bit more valuable!
