Hi all what it is ive got a new pair of white tuff 2's and a new pair of blue tuff2's both with the sealed bearings. The thing is, on the white ones there are allen bolts that bolt into the hub and on the blue wheels they have an axel, 14mm i think. Why are they not the same? i dont know why they're different i hope you people can tell me. Cheers, Ben

It might be that the white ones are older ones with replaced hubs,and the blues are new re-makes.

Do all of the new coloured tuffs have axels? If they do i expect it's just that they want them to be more in keeping with the older wheels. The allen bolt type are standard on all new Skyways.
