I snapped endless tuffs. 2 spokes out of a back one on a bloody rockwalk ffs. One lasted me 30 minutes once. Total shite!!!!!

Nice skyway pictures. I never even contemplated heat build up in the hub at all. The coaster brake then must have been mandatory in America hence the provision in the drawing. Honestly never knew they snapped though.

Straightening them in the freezer is also an old wives tale.

I did hear that. Often wondered how freezing plastic would return it to shape.

I ran both Skyways and OGK's back in the day. Had tuffs 1st, no breaks but rear hub started to bend in, so went to buy a replacement and it was £20, could buy a new wheel for £30!! so got a set of OGK mags which were on offer in a bike shop £38 for the pair (think it was called Oakleys Abington, Northampton). Never had no probs with the OGK's and used to land like a tank !!
