Title: learning the skyways !
Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on April 26, 2009, 12:46 AM

What's the difference in the two metal hubed skyways i keep seeing ?  is it one is alloy and the other is just plain metal ?  i mean, my alloy hubed ones have more of a star shaped smoother curved  hub and some other's have more of a square ended part to the star hub ? different years - cheaper ? lmk

cheers  B  ;)

Think the difference might be one is Tuff 1 the other is Tuff 2 I might be wrong so don't quote me. :daumenhoch:

Have a look on the skyway site think there will be some info there http://www.skywaywheels.com/flashback.htm

Yours are alloy hub and the otherones you state are metal hubbed which came before the alloy. Both are known as Tuff II's.

yeap, the early tuff 11's were steel hubbed, the hubs were flatter in appearance,

the later alloy hubbed were the more curved and prob look nicer, but more common esp in the uk.

on the values, steels are rarer, so should allways make that little bit more.

i'll let someone else chip with the dates they changed etc

theres a post somewhere on here all about graphites, as they have diff versions also and alot get mis-described  :LolLolLolLol:
