Title: Plastic Hubbed Tuff II's
Post by: davemac1974 on January 05, 2006, 11:31 PM

When did Skyway start producing the Tuff II's with plastic hubs both front and rear?

I picked a BURNER  up from the tip today...and it has plastic hubbed Tuff's on it. They're covered in gunk, and have paint splashed on them, but they seem to be all there, and spin straight  8)

Cheers

in my skyway catalogue they have always produced plastic hubs since the mk1, they run alloy hubs for a while but alot of them used to collapse so the stopped making them..

Is there any way of dating a Tuff? Any markings inside the rim or anything?  :-\

I don`t think there is Dave, some have serial numbers and some don`t, and I think some may have been made over here under licence, ACS Z rims were  ;)
