Skyway Axle Length.
« on: April 07, 2013, 06:41 PM »
Has anyone got an 80s Tuff axle that they could measure for me please?  ???

Or does anyone know the length off the top of their heads??

I've got a new set with the quite large axles and Daz has kindly offered to cut them down and and dome the ends for me. :daumenhoch:

 ;D  sorry been working

I would tell you, but my stuff is in the loft at the mo and Lilly is a sleep so can't wake her

an other idea if it is for a certain frame, is the measure the rear drop outs - they will pull in slightly when tightening up, but you will also know that you haven't gone too short when having them cut  ;)

Not sure if you ever got a definitive answer to this Dan but I just measured a set of alloy hub axels and got:

Front - 134mm
Rear - 150mm
