so the only difference is "1982 RETRO" marked in the inside of the rim - i take it this is where the inner tube sits ? and so the only way is to take off the tire and tube to see the mark !

When someone asked Ed about making alloy hubbed tuffs again, he told a story about the original riveting machine bursting into flames when they tried to use it after sitting around for 20+ years.

I think they're a cracking price for wheels which have the appearance of NOS 80s Tuffs but I can see somebody getting reamed further down the line. I'm amazed the badger hasn't snaffled the lot - I reckon he'd knock them out for a Monkey per set.

Is that a fookin joke again??
Id like to be a little mouse in that Skyway warehouse, amazing what you can find 25 years later ... hubs, molds, press

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2011, 10:01 AM »

but there is nothing to make them different to other alloy hubbed skyways out there - yes they are marked but is that not just on the inside rim ?

"he only made a few sets"......"a handfull"

So define the quantity ?? 10 sets / 100 sets / 1000 sets

It was bound to happen at some point, I don't see it as a bad thing per se, but for sure there will be some peeps out to make a quick buck of them just like the new sealed bearing ones

Non Flange Tuffs = $86 Pair / Alloy Flange Tuffs = $199 Pair ?

Alloy flanges = $113 ?

These will sell out quick! Get a set while you can! We're only selling 10 sets of each color!!

The listing says 10 of each colour will be available but that might be a cunning stunt to create a sales frenzy...

There was 10 in stock this morning - there are still 10 in stock according to the site. I can't believe Cletus and his U.S. mates haven't bought a set yet.

i guess you could interpret that as planetbmx is only selling 10 of each , not that skyway is making 10 of each
