New Skyway Tuff IIs

[Rob1]

Do the Tuffs you can buy in shops look the same as the old 86 on ones ?
I read somewhere that they have holes in for a reflector 

[pickle]

Yep they have one little hole in to screw in a reflector.  no probs on a rider though.......other than flexing like a bastard 

oh you may need yo file the front axle a bit as well as they don't have flat sided front axles.

[Rob1]

Ahhh....has anyone got a pair of old green ones then ?

[mattuknc]

You may find some pairs that don't have a fleccy hole, my black one's do, but my white ones didn't.

The new ones are still 24tpi on the axle too. Mine came today from winstanleys.

I thought Parkers were still cheaper these days?!

Parkers were cheaper last time I checked. You may need to saw the axles down a little as well if you aren't going to be using pegs.

Wish I'd known about them before :-( ahwell...

Don't mean to thread HiJack, but got these Tuffs about 6 years ago - I think

They do not have reflector holes for reflectors so these are different to the modern Tuffs they do now?  Also they have the flat front axle too.

 If so when did they manufactor these ones from and to then.

Those were the first batch of sealed bearing new ones, they then mass produced them with the plan to use them on complete bikes (big daddy rooster) and by law wheels have to have reflectors

Thanks for info.

Do you know what year these were made from and to?

These quite hard to find in their own right?
