6 spokes v 5 spoke mags, what you reckon was the strongest? Bar Graphites..

I would say OGK/Peregrine, or maybe the Hutch, but I think they may all be made by OGK anyway

I heard OGKs where the best. Just the skyway 6 spoke intrigued me.

Yep! Mia-judged the height of a set of steps as a lad and hot them full speed - bang went the tyre and so did the wheel rim, straight through. My LBS in Halesowen in the west midlands hung it on the wall for years as he'd only seen one broken but it was replaced under warranty no questions. My brother went back there 13 years ago when he was building my 30th birthday present and the bloke still remembered us 'cause of that busted wheel.....

Never seen one broken or come close since, but it was a set of concrete steps and I went staight over the bars and made a right mess of myself when I landed so i'm never doing that again!

I had a black rear OGK back in the day, was all that was available in the area (and all i could afford after much saving), and was seemed to be seen as the poor cousin to the Tuff and never really liked. I got lots of negative comments about it and I would have loved a tuff but couldnt afford it.

Not really much help with regards to strength but at least my hub stayed straight to some of my mates Tuffs.

Were Skyways not based on Motomags? $:-\$

Wish they'd produced some with the webbing as they look cool. Wonder if there any prototypes kicking around?
