Retrofit skyway hubs from bitd
« on: February 23, 2014, 08:27 AM »
Found this ad last night routing through my stash of mags etc from bitd . This was a flyer from a big show I went 2 in Walsall. At Alumwell School.



These were made in Penkridge Staffs bitd about 8 miles from me  :Great_Britain:  :daumenhoch: I had one of these on my rear black Tuff bitd as mine collapsed like they do .

I have since managed 2 collect a pair , thanks 2 Phil a couple of years back and Ebay. Fitted 2 my restored white Tuffs on my MRD Pro  :Great_Britain:

Good old british engineering, they look like they've got more longevity in them than og ones

I remember these Steve  :daumenhoch:

I had to have them fitted to both my white Tuff's as the hubs collapsed, crushed in. They were £10 fitted each I think in the Raleigh shop in Bognor Regis.

I never had an issue with them again after that and went on to trade them for a set of Blue speedlines at Shoreham-by-sea track  :coolsmiley:

The Machined hubs with sealed bearings from acorn freestyle mags are also a direct replacement for Skyways if you didn't know  :daumenhoch:

   I always remembered seeing Tuffs BITD with these type of hubs but as I hadn't seen anything like them for thirty odd years just though it was the beer clouding my memory and that I was making it up...now I know....

Had a ride out on Sat in the car 2 find the shop . But its long gone and demolished and no new shop . Address on net now leads 2 a garage which now sells cars . Oh well it was a long shot but nice all the same .

I'm sure I have one of these on a skyway gathering dust in my garage, I need to check but its of no use to me. I'll happily send it somewhere if the recipient wants to cover postage...
