They are all totally brand new NOS made in the UK (which as you probably know, all  the coasters were bolted in, not riveted). There all coaster brake pairs. Fronts have plastic hubs.

That makes a lot of sense and just about covers it :daumenhoch:. Spokes for performance and tuffs for nostalga I think you have to agree.

I think the best thing would be to let Mrs Madall have the final word on any discussion - a 'Mrs Madall says....' along with a picture?

What do you reckon? 

Madall?

Skyways are Super Sexy!!!!!!!!!!:LolLolLolLol:

for me tuffs were the best wheel i ever rode, they werent heavy at all & if you knew how to maintain you bike you never had any problems with the hubs, alloys might have been light but they were weak as sh1t

BITD we all wanted /rode tuffs ,was the wheel to have .to me tuffs are just a classic look ,maybe we all put them on old school builds because of all the 80's colour ?
as to people only riding them because they were  sponsered ,what about Si Tabron riding them on his bully ? or Craig Cambell on his ozone , at woodward 2 hip he came second to Jo Johnson , beating Hoffman into third .  :coolsmiley:
but on the otherhand a set of chrome 7x's takes some beating .
i'am comfused now . :idiot2:

i used tuffs n zeds for jumping BITD, no alloys could compare with absorbing the impact as a pair off tuffs or zeds, zeds did make you concentrate on your landings alot more(very unforgiving)

Fitted to kids bikes? ;D

I love the look of a nice set of chrome spokes glinting in the sunshine but tuffs are definitely iconic.  I also like Z rims though. ;D ;D
