Can you get alloy hubs for tuffs anywhere?
« on: May 19, 2008, 12:07 PM »
I've got some metal hubbed tuffs but they are the bare plastic wheels only - no hubs or guts.

I know you can buy the axle replacements, but how about the metal side bits and rivets/bolts?

Any help would be appreciated, cheers

A front wheel hub went for £49 on ebay over the weekend :idiot2:

Now that seems like a lotta cash to me :P

I won a set on US ebay for £30 but the arse never sent um :'( but the rear coaster brake ones are fairly easy to find

Do you mean the gold "cool caps"? They are clip on hub covers for the new Graphites. They cant be used as the actual hub.

LOL. no, because if my arse got any lazier(sp) i'd have stopped breathing in for myself. plus it's dear, quality is too varied, supply is too on and off, did i mention it robbed me of my motivation. i do miss the musical enhancement, sexual enjoyment and general stupidness, but i am too bust to be lazy right now. not stopped for life. plus, emergency hub questions are the future.

the gold coloured hub things that you speak of are actual alloy hubs ( were being sold as skyway keyrings) with graphite stamped on them.

yep the axles and all that are cool but I would need the side plates and connecting bolts too. Maybe I'll have to buy some "scrap" metal hub tuffs and drill the rivets out, then bolt into my wheels?   :coolsmiley:
