Hi,
I would like to know if there is a new "tendencies" or it is "cool" to use on New-school bikes only a front Skyway tuff2 wheel?
or did I always saw the same person using it on a bike.
regards, ;)

I have seen it on dvd with an orange tuff, and think Stevie b is now running a black one.
-
The orange tuff guy was on the United DVD, I think its a guy fom irelands bike.
It sure is StevieB using a black one, and he loves it.
-
Yep - Stevie B rides one up front...looks cool and make a nice noise.

yeah it sounded like a balloon bouncing on the floor...........mind you Stevie is only about 2 stone soaking wet, not sure how a tuff would survive with 16 stone of my fat arse coming down on it :LolLolLolLol:
-
That bike looks f*ckin RAD
-
the orang wheel was sandy carsons, he broke it, though he did give it some abuse ;) im still after one myself, i think it looks cool :4_17_5:

I rode the year before last with a tuff on the front. It takes a few days to get used to as the flex takes away some of the pump power.
-
i maight stick my white one on the front for creation next week ;)
or at least bring it with me anyways and maybe give it a try :LolLolLolLol:
-
i used to run a tuff2 on the front but only when i didnt have a matching pair of rims, i used to get a lot of stick for it too >:(
funny how things come around to be cool :coolsmiley:
-
i used to run a tuff up front back in the early 90's,
and my current dirt bike has one, works for me, bit flexy but you get used to it,
i think it looks cool anyway.

....indeed!!! :daumenhoch:
-
the bike in the united dvd is ricky adams, dig photographer.
he scored a tuff same time as sandy from wtp when they released the adidas bmx or whatever it was at the time, rickys bike is a hoffman flash.

Mines off now... I pumped out of a tranny and nothing happened, next thing I know I was over the deck. That was it for me. Fun while is lasted and I sure enjoyed the look of it.
-
why not be a real trendsetter and run one on the back, too....

Im sure I told you about pumping too hard on Tuffs at Harrow. A front Tuff sent my mate otb's coming down a transition. He split his eyebrow open quite nastly.

Oh yes Marty, it sure does!

What happened to cause the stack then?

The front tuff washed out! :LolLolLolLol:
-
What? Just bent out from underneath him? Graphite would be better i suppose then :)

I dont really know what happened with Bills crash, but Front Tuffs are known for folding/flexing/wasing out when you pump down on them (eg going up or down a transition).
-
why not be a real trendsetter and run one on the back, too....
Or in our case Phil
When I ran your rear Tuff in my front forks at Interact that night ( because my front wheel's axle had threaded )
front to back my gearing was 16t , 28t, 10t ;D

i have a set of yellow tuffs with a cassette hub, there is a skyway tuffs history page on bmxmuseum that details all of their products, the cassette hub was available between 79-81 if i remember correctly, they only offered a choice of cassette or coaster for this period...... :daumenhoch:
-
they doin the new skool version of cassette hub now on em
-
in the 80's you would see tuffs on the front, as the rear hubs would disintegrate faster than the fronts
-
god, he's back on for 2 mins and picks up where he left of, slaggin tuffs. He'll be on about TT lengths before you know it....
-
i didn't slag off your favourite wheel
the front wheels always last much longer than the rears
same with aero zytecs.
-
fruity its not about the tt its the wheel base that counts :LolLolLolLol:
