Hi guys I have noticed a lot of old type tuffs with missing hubs.
Has anyone used any other large flange hubs and screwed into place? or is there anything else you can do?
-
There are kits out there to replace repair the hubs bud.
They was a thread on the museum , a guy had loads of abused tuffs some hand painted.
He machined long bolts which looked like rivets to fit the flanges .
Great thread ..
When fully refurbished they all looked good as new

Any chance of a link to that please Andy as I can't seem to find it?
I'm in the same position and was even wondering if new hubs could be made up with proper bearings rather than cones?
-
This guy only modded the rivets with machined bolts.
He refurbished the existing flanges if I remember..
I will have a look mate.. fistblump

So apart from Skyway hubs nobody has put any other hubs in tuff? Would have thought the Kool caps people could have made proper hubs.
-
There were some sealed replacement hubs
Rare as fook though

Thanks mate, that's great. All those campy hubs- yes please fistblump

It's a shame Skyway don't sell these hubs separately as I would happily run them on a rider
