craig strong rode on spokes
and brian scura. and they were both wheelie kings
martin aparijo rode on spokes too.

freestylers riding on alloys probably was a later development
about 84-85

Wilkerson ran peregrine masters (ok I'll give you Blyther)

peregrine masters are not tuffs. you will give me them both :)

graeme, what does that mean exactly...
tuffs 'are' the iconic wheel of 80's bmx. no-one in this thread has said they were better than a wire wheel, just stating that they were the wheel to have...more form than function....they looked as cool as, and, quite frankly, still do. as far as i can remember the only wheel anyone i knew wanted was tuffs..........white ones.....white tuffs...coaster brake....dribble....droooooollll

Dave



remember on Ebay, a few years back now, there ws nothing but white tuffs...


where they all gone now?

a nice shiny coloured annodized rim and matching hub looks nicer than a plastic wheel.

am i the only one that thinks this?

I can't believe you're the same age as me?  ???  It was all about DP's & Curtis freestylers (with the odd Haro for the spoilt bastards) with CW bars, tuffs, whitewall tyres

that curtis is certainly in a class of it's own.

i know i am in the minority with the tuffs, but you can not deny my existance!
and there were more riders on spoked wheels than you all remember

cw bars though? lol.

if i had a scanner i would scan in riders with spoked wheels

neil ruffel used alloys too as soon as he was free from skyway

lol@the big head burner kid. now there's a bike that needs tuffs.
