Thoughts on 6 spoke tuffs
« on: March 18, 2018, 01:32 PM »
Been looking at 87/88 freestylers recently and a lot of em seemed to come with 6 spoke tuffs, anyone got any thoughts on them? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Cheers,

Neil

Good wheels, came stock on Skyway Streetsylers. Make a nice change from Tuff 2’s

Came with my decade and had a good 3 days in bleach followed by the usual wd40 soaking. rode them down the skate park without a peep out of em. Not bad for 30 year old platic  :daumenhoch:
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

I'n my experience they are reasonably heavy & you wont be able to move them on when the time comes.

Very few people have the love for them or use them in their builds.

Look good on certain bikes....and as usual people want a premium price for them when your trying to buy some? and tell you there not  worth f**k all when you try to sell them!  :knuppel2:

Used to hate them & always associated them with cheaper inferior mags (bit like seeing 'adidas' 4-stripes), now not bothered.

5 spokes look better IMO, less like cartwheels,

24" tuffs though  Thumbs down

They have their place. High end was always 5 spoke but some great brands used them on their mid range bikes. Look good on the appropriate bike. I tried finding some for a build a couple of years ago and couldn't find any!

never ever understood them! 5 spokes works best.
When I was born, the world was a far simpler place.
It was all just cops and robbers.
And BMX.
