Does anyone know if the early ally hubbed tuffs came in grey?? I am not sure if I recall seeing a set but the old tuff pads came in grey which made me wonder........
-
Not that I can remember, thought they came out around 84/5 and only had placcy hubs
-
Think they'll be plastic front & rear.
Have a look at this supurb guide http://mauricemeyer.net/cgi/mm.pl?datafile=../general/BMX.txt&page=BMX/History%20of%20Skyway%20Tuff%20Wheels

not seen alloy hubbed
had a set of coaster rear tho :daumenhoch:
these would have used the earlier tuff pad :daumenhoch:

the grey + baby blue tuffs were the last colours skyway brought out ,so don't think they would have been made with a alloy hub ,as brummie said they came with a rear coaster hub -mine are a uk made set and have a bolt in rear coaster .
the only other option if you've seen one with a metal hub front is that some body has fitted it themselves-see pics on my white streetbeat for a pair of these.
as for the tuff pads think skyway just made both the freestyle pads and tuff pads in all tuff colours

Thanks for the replies everyone, just as I thought....it was seeing the pads which made me think.... :daumenhoch:
