AS TA'S ARE RACE BIKES SHOULD THEY BE FITTED WITH SPOKED WHEELS OR TUFFS?
EVEN THOUGH SKYWAY DO MAKE WHEELS DOES THAT MEAN YOU HAVE TO FIT THEM?
I VOTE SPOKES AS TO ME TUFFS ARE FOR FREESTYLE AND TOO HEAVY FOR RACE BIKES!!!

LET THE ABUSE BEGIN!!!!

I've always considered the TA as a race bike which looks great no matter what wheels they're wearing

Defo spokes on the race bikes and Tuffs on those adapted for freestyle

i've not seen one T/A yet that i liked without tuffs on it.
it always looks like somethings missing lol.

if it were my TA i'd have tuffs just cause they look rad imo, but it is a race frame and if ur gonna race it then its gotta be spokes.

here we go again

how about a new rule?
you need 2 ta's
1 white with tuffs
1 chrome with spokes

I like em both

MartyC · « **Reply #12 on:** March 02, 2007, 07:20 PM »

Horses for courses, look good with either in my opinion (but that doesn't count for much

)

As said above - spokes if built for racing and tuffs for freestyle - both look good and neither are wrong in my opinion

hmmmmm

plastic wheels or proper wheels
what a decision

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2007, 08:48 PM »

theyre not plastic.

theRuler · « **Reply #16 on:** March 02, 2007, 08:49 PM »

they feel like rubber

seriously though, on your TA run whichever wheels you choose
it aint down to no poll or vote or debate

just down to you

you'll not please everybody. don't try to.

rudhallrascal · « **Reply #17 on:** March 02, 2007, 10:33 PM »

Sorry but T/A's just don't look right without tuff's....

selfpreservation · « **Reply #18 on:** March 02, 2007, 10:45 PM »

a ta is a bmx it predates the concept of freestyle it was a good all rounder thats why its so iconic it was one of the stalwarts of cutting edge bmx bitd and thats why we adore them now wheels are wheels but if you wanna win a race id go for spokes but tuffs are ultra coolio

and you know this man

or two sets of wheels and a 14mm spanner

theRuler · « **Reply #20 on:** March 02, 2007, 10:48 PM »

a ta doesnt predate freestyle
they were always seen with tuffs though, as the pics you saw were of factory riders who had to ride with them. i guess you gotta take the rough with the smooth

stidds · « **Reply #21 on:** March 02, 2007, 11:25 PM »

I think T/A's need Tuffs, it just doesn't seem right without them.

dannyboy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 03, 2007, 07:15 PM »

divny know id put a set of tuffs on but then id not as i aint got a ta so it dont matter does it really cos if i was into raceing id av a gt pro and a rl20 if i was doing endos and bunny hops
