Title: how many types of tuffs are there?
Post by: jT Racing on March 29, 2007, 04:22 PM
right, i have a pair of metal hubbed tuffs with a casette freewheel. a pair of front ??? plastic hubbed tuffs, i know there are alloy hubbed, i have a pair which is plastic front and coaster rear, there are graphites and campy versions of graphs.
Are there other variations? like metal hubs but a normal freewheel, alloy hubbs with or without casette etc...  it's all a bit confusing. even the shape of the hubs seem to change. Who as the info on the mighty tuff?? come on, spill them tuff beans.

I used to have a set of first gen TuffIIs with the steel hub, they had 79 painted on the inside of the rim.
Then they changed the hub to alloy (with suntour coaster)
Then they changed the front to the plastic type but still kept the alloy rear
Then both changed to plastic
now they are plastic but with sealed bearings

That's how i remember them.....could be wrong though  :-\

Email Skyway themselves , I'm sure they'd be happy to reply, they certainly don't seem like faceless corporate types who don't give a hoot....
