Spokes can be rebuilt, that makes them like the six million dollor man and he lived through a plane crash and he could jump really high. :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

Well I have demolished alloy rims beyond belief and busted bent and completly stuffed Tuffs as well. I've never like Z-rims much but I can appreciate them.
No wheel is worthy in my books. Not old ones anyway. New school stuff looks pretty strong though.
My graphites kept peeling the tires off the rear too. Thats why I sold them bitd. I wish I never did that now.

skyways would take spokes dinner money off him and z-rims would run and tell teacher.

Although I love tuffs, sadly, I have to agree with Bob. Spokes already won the original fight back in '86-'87 and then also won the half-hearted attempt at a re-match in this millenium. :'(
Title: Re: Who would win in a fight.. Skyways, Spokes or Z rims?
Post by: Rombloke on February 22, 2006, 06:19 PM
i wouldnt build an old school bike without tuffs.....for me they are 'the' wheel of the '80's
mind you that is only my opinion.
but after having triple walled 48's i wouldnt ride on anything other than spokes...they are so much more solid, and just to know that your tyre aint gonna peel off your rim is a nice feeling....

so................

old= skyways
new= spokeys

Would be a close fight, but think of it in a Rocky (Tuffs) v Clubber (Spokes) scenario:

11th round - Tuffs ass has been beaten round and round the ring, how Tuffs are still standing no-one knows.  This fight should have been stopped long ago as it is one way traffic.  Another big right from Spokes, an upper cut also, how is Tuffs still standing.  If Tuffs was a horse it would have been shot long ago.  The bell goes, Spokes walks confindently back to its corner, tired but knowing he just has to see out the final round.  Tuffs trudges back initially to the wrong corner then embarrasingly to the correct one.  Tuffs doesn't even know what day it is, everything about him hurts and he is severly buckled.

During the break, Spokes manager just tells him to stay away and count down the clock, he will then be the Champ.
Tuffs manager however has a cunning plan, he unviels the freezer that he has sneaked into the corner and sticks Tuffs into said freezer for a couple of minutes, takes Tuffs out and sprays liberally with WD40.

Last round - Tuffs springs back to life, completely true and looking a lot younger and healthier (the wonders of WD40).  He runs over to Spokes, left, right, left, right, upper cut, bodyshot.  For 3 mins kicks Spokes ass and knocks Spokes down, who doesn't beat the count.

Its all over, once again Tuffs win.  Oh the joys of a freezer and some WD40.
