I have hubs that take 24tpi front and 26tpi rear........... bloody typical. Just count the threads! My point being don't assume that they are one or the other. For what it costs just buy a set of each and try them.

skyways ? I had a bit of a fall out with skyway, wouldn't have anything skyway even if it were FREE, bought a new set of tuff 2's and when I fitted the freewheel the chain alignment was miles out , not like a spoke wheel, you can't pull the rim over.
couldn't adjust the chainring because it was a fixed solid type on a motomag with a one piece crank and that was bog standard, can't pull the crank and chainring into the bb closer :nickswan:
The guy in Tech wouldn't have it , said his wheels are perfect and quality control is strict and there's me trying to do the chain alignment with a vernier and it was 8mm out.
The thread was fine but it was as if the hub had been moulded the wrong offset to the wheel (freewheel needed to screw on another 7mm) (sold them in the end and took a £20 loss ) funny that ::) bought a set of z-rims and they fitted straight in without any adjustment.
Interested to know if anyone else has had alignment issue's with the new sealed bearing tuff 2's ?

Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on May 29, 2014, 11:25 PM: Looks like you're all sorted Nath, but Suzue are defo 26tpi. I know as i have 2 sets of skyway axle extenders on my adidas, both stamped 26. I believe it's pot luck when dealing with Skyway tuff axles
