Title: Nos Red Tuffs
Post by: cherrypicker on July 16, 2008, 08:23 PM

Just a heads -up. Absolutely no offence if this person is a member....

Sorry if somebody's flagged this already, but I asked the guy about the absence of hubs/flanges on these nos wheels and you can see the response. He then removed the pic showing the rest of the wheels. If you don't  mind bolt on flanges, go for it, but they don't come with the wheels. It's not 'what it says on the tin'   ;)

What i'm saying is - he doesn't actually state that there are no hubs/flanges with these wheels. When I asked him about it, he removed the pic showing the full wheels. I just don't want anyone to buy them thinking they're getting full wheels, that's all.

Doesn't sound really honest...
But he is probably a very clued guy who thinks his potential customers are just like him  :-\

"Never been assembled"..
They could be UK made ones with the bolted hubs never assembled, but as you can see I don't consider myself as the average ebayer  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

He says they're from the States. Anyway, his feedback paints him genuine enough - some guys off here have bought stuff from him, no probs.

you could buy a coaster brake kit for your freewheel tuffs. Drill the old hub out and bolt the new one in. Case solved... ;)  I think you could buy replacement freewheel hubs as well ???? The old metal hubs were prone to caving inwards.
