  You CAN repair CRACKED skyways!!!

  Take them along to a nice injection mould shop with an understanding gaffer and get them to ULTRA SONIC WELD the crack.

  It leaves no marks, creates no nasty bumps to the top surface, does not remove any of the original plastic/nylon, and guess what fellers?...... its as good as when it left the factory!!

  One weld repair, one wheel, £27.... JOB DONE.

Sounds interesting, any chance of before and after pics?

[lazychubs]

can they repair graphite tuffs aswell
as both of mine are cracked

[lcfc]

Will post pics in a couple of days, have before and after pics as well.

As for the graphite tuff's i am not sure and to be honest i have heard about these but never actually seen a set, have always thought that having graphite for a material to make wheels from is pants so i have always assumed to my self that they cant be made from pencil lead. If its a plastic of any description it can be welded, except bakerlite.

That could be very handy if they can do graphites, I have 3 wheels with cracks
