Skyways question?looking info on dye.

When you guys bleach your skyways do you put the 2 in together or 1 @ a time?   also where would i get axles and ball bearings for them?

Cheers  :daumenhoch:

good question, i've never done it but i'm guessing it's just a case of getting as much vasaline in there as you can with your fingers?


Are they going to be for a show bike or a rider?

the one on the left doesn't look to bad but the one on the right looks like it's been painted?

Do them together mate,one on top of the other,plenty of grease on the hubs,to be honest I didn't do the backs on mine,didn't even think about it.
