I got some black tuffs on my retro quad and will try them on it but fancy spokes , dont know where to start I suppose some nos would be good but seems a shame to un-nos em if you know what I mean!.


I need to know some good shops, looked at rad and alans but ive been a bit out of touch lately

I would sell the tuffs on your retro quadangle and put some spokes on it, then buy some tuffs for the 24" Skyway.

I kind of agree with the Skyway = Tuffs thang.......but only for 20's  fooking hate those 24" Tuffs, they must flex like a b@stard! and (IMHO) make a bike look like an old bone shaker.

For 24" it would have to be rideable spokes for me  :daumenhoch:

Skyway 20" -  Tuffs
All cruisers - Spokes

24" Tuffs look like they've come of a wheelchair for some reason.

I've been trying to find a place that does a nice set of 24" wheels that'll suit the XL, but not having much joy. The tuffs look 'ok' but as Julian says they do look a little wheelchair based.  :-\
Can anyone suggest any good places to start? I'm thinking either going red or blue rims on the chrome frame.  :daumenhoch:

Spokes  :4_17_5:

24" Skyways for me look too bulky  :-\

Also there's no way my fat ass would cope with Skyways  :shocked:

I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)
