No I have just been speaking to Skyway...

The front axles are all wrong on them.

Comments: 1.   I have just purchased a set of Tuff 2’s in the U.K. and they appear to have 2 rear axles fitted to the Wheels.  Having had numerous sets of Skyways over the Years I just wondered what was going on and whether you could supply me with the correct Axle to fit to my front Tuff. I require the 1 with the flats on it about 140mm in length. So that I can fit them to my 1985 Skyway Streetbeat.  I have another set of Wheels in the post and I am envisaging having the same problem with them. So I will need 2 front axles.
> 2.   I  Have heard that you may be releasing colored tuffs with a coaster brake.  Is this correct?

Thank you for your purchase of genuine Skyway Tuffwheels!

The exclusive distributor for the U.K., Coyote Sports, specifically requested that all wheels have 175 mm axles in front and rear.  I do not have axles with flats on them. I have to think someone in the U.K. could help get you the type of axle you prefer.

I would not be surprised to see us making coaster brake wheels in colors but nothing is on the production schedule right now.  If a customer comes to us with an order large enough, we will take it to production.

Thank you again for your support!

just get a small file and file the axle down very slightly where it fits into the fork dropouts 

job done

And cut them down 35 mm aswell with a hacksaw.  Yeah I thought about that but it will remove all the protective 'Cadmium Coating' (not annodising Dope ) so they will corrode.  Dirty Rust

annodising?  are you talking the new graphites?  as i think they have a diferent axle to the normal new tuffs??

Annodising I meant the Cadmium Coating you get on the axles. 
I have got annodising on the mind as I am contemplating gettin a Redline Bubble Chain wheel annodised Blue.

Go to Colored Tuffs website or Vertigo (you get that from the prices) and get an axle re-build kit:

I may have the right axle for this prob - 130mm with 8mm flat sides on a 10mm

have a few - they are from front hubs

 That is the one that you'll need for the sealed Tuff Wheels.
