Title: What's the best stuff for sticking RadKaps on NS Graphite tuffs?
Post by: davevilla on November 08, 2009, 10:01 PM
Just bought some RadKaps from the states to stick on and 'old school' up a pair of very nice new school graphite Tuff IIs.

What's the best stuff to use to stick them on with - the guidance on the RadKap website says a sillicon based product - any ideas on trade names on sillicon based sticky stuff that I can use that won't harm the wheels (or Kaps for that matter) please?

Thanks very much indeed

 :)

i used black silicon, any stuff from B+Q, just enough to hold the caps in place, and enough so i could take them off..

Can you get these for new tuffs in an silver alloy finish to make em look older ?

Thanks I don't mind the gold actually it's just that the front hub on new tuffs is smaller than the rear although i know you would still see some of the plastic hub anyways on the front unless you paint it gold lol.

Thinking of getting some made via an engineer friend but have seen skyway are now doing std tuffs with convertible hubs too, with both hubs same size, food for thought me thinks !
