As the title says and could you say if graphite's compared to regular Tuffs are they worth the extra money?
-
BITD yes. They were a lot stiffer but there was no weight difference. When it came to tricks like Miami hoppers and cherry pickers they were a lot better. But worth the extra money no.

If you are going to ride it, Stick with spokes. I built and very briefly rode 2 bikes with tuffs, Like riding a plate of jelly.

i think the above is spot on, i've been lucky enough to ride both in my collecting years (2000 onwards) and couldn't tell the difference riding gently just around the streets.
Although do look cool as. If you can afford em, grab a pair though.

Never ridden on graphite wheels but had a fair few bikes with tuffs . Love em . Think they are a great wheel and remember liking the flex on a few tricks bitd . Jave a bike with tuffs now and another with ogks , think the tuffs win though . Also have a few zeds man they flex way too easy but then I'm a little bit heavier than bitd ;)
