I always think Skyways look wrong without Tuffs.  But then what the hell do I know?  ;)

personally i dont have a problem with you changing the wheels when you feel like it tuffs one day spokes the next , its easy and youll soon decide which are your favourites

If it's Tuffs it's gotta be Graphs , so it'll be Arayas then  :daumenhoch:

Tuffs!

no, hold on...


Spokes....


no, wait...

Tuffs!

Either - they both look great...I'd probably lean towards Tuffs though as it is a Skyway.
Title: Re: Skyways or Arayas?
Post by: Haley on May 22, 2007, 12:39 PM
OK I'll put the Tuffs on after they've been bleached and then decide. Thanks for the input.  :daumenhoch:

The trouble is as a kid I always wanted to build the lightest bike I could (only being small) so I had a pair of Araya 7X's. (Although they were on a Silverfox) But I am leaning toward the Tuffs now.  :laugh:

the tuff's will look mint also  ;)

just go with your choice it's ur bike build it how u want it  :daumenhoch:

Mags are for freestylers!!!
Spokes are for racers!!!   

But it's what "You" like best,that goes on your bike!!!  :daumenhoch:


I never cared for mags or one piece cranks,colored tires or coaster brakes but reflectors & chainguards are out of the question. :buck2:
No matter what you use it's only for you to be pleased that matters & on that particular build either would look great. :4_17_5:


Very well done on that one,no matter which way ya go. :4_17_5:
I'm liking the spokes though. ;D

Ive got a Chrome Ta in the museum with Ukais on. I recently put some alloy hubbed black tuffs on and it has gone from a boy to a man with hairs on its chest. As a skyway bod, all Ta's need tuffs cos they just aint a skyway without them. I used to look at mine everyday and as nice as she looked she looked a little bare.

I have white alloy hubbed tuffs on my white Ta now and they look much better than the packy ones. But.......and i must say this, i think black tuffs look alot better on a chrome bike.
If and when i get around to upload some pics, i will be able to show ya what i mean as i tested my chrome ta with white and black tuffs and i took photos! You can decide! :daumenhoch:

But Tuffs it is whatever colour.

Totally agree. Skyway bike, Skyway wheels...

Anything else is plain wrong, Wrong, WRONG!

But then I am a freestyler (or I was when I were a lad)

HRD

arayas look nicer

put the mags on an old freestyle bike
Title: Re: Skyways or Arayas?
Post by: Haley on May 25, 2007, 07:24 PM
The master has spoken. I'll stick the Tuffs on my Firebird (after Epic) Maybe, perhaps, I think, my head hurts........  :-\

i always go for alloys myself.
if i was building a tuff burner i'd put alloys on it ;)

if you are unsure about what to do with the TA, get 2 and explore both possibilities

they look great either way!!! (greater with alloys though ;) )
