Dan has a set of those but they only fit the new graphites!

I'm not convinced about them though 

[WizardWeb]

Why only graphites? Would it be a glue thing?

[MartyC]

Nah, apparently the hubs are different for graphites so they won't fit regular new tuffs.  There was an article on vbmx that I read (before I was excluded from the site) about them.  That said I'm sure you could make them in silver to fit non graphites in the same way 

[billstup]

They only come in gold, and they are not the right shape for converting normal alloy hubed tuffs

don't mean to offend any owners of these things
but it's like buying diadora silver stripes
buying a gold pen from woolworths and making them into
the golds(which were the only diadoras to have in the 80's)
real kangeroo's gave their lives for those things.
 i'm waffling think i must be having a 90's flashback
better go for some 2K therapy.

Ahem.....!!! No offence taken Crusty  , but you must admit they do look fine when applied !! 

[muttley]

I personally think this is a cool conversion, my only beef is the friggin skyway logo on the spoke, can

[brass monkey!]

they're just decals, they can be removed, i'd prefer to keep em personally, but you can peel em off mate ! 

[Stodgy]

They look good on - thanks for the pic mr Monkey of Biscuits!

[dordymush]

apparently all new Skyways come with these, allen keybolts on the end. You also get spacers etc, for new or old school set ups, mad eh ! 

[gmac]

I've got a couple of new sets and both have normal axle nuts. Could those allen type ones just be for the graffs ?

[Rombloke]

the sealed bearing variety come with those allen bolts.....
