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

I'm not convinced about them though  :-\

Why only graphites? Would it be a glue thing?

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  :-\

They only come in gold, and they are not the right shape for converting normal alloy hubed tuffs  :crazy2:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

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.

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