New Skyway Tuff IIs

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  :(

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

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

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.  :daumenhoch:

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?
