Author Topic: using Skyway Tuff2 in front (Read 3440 times)

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a new "tendencies" or it is "cool" to use on New-school bikes only a front Skyway tuff2 wheel?
or did I always saw the same person using it on a bike.

regards,

fLAVIO

I have seen it on dvd with an orange tuff, and think Stevie b is now running a black one.

The orange tuff guy was on the United DVD, I think its a guy fom irelands bike.

It sure is StevieB using a black one, and he loves it.

Yep - Stevie B rides one up front...looks cool and make a nice noise.

yeah it sounded like a balloon bouncing on the floor...........mind you Stevie is only about 2 stone soaking wet, not sure how a tuff would survive with 16 stone of my fat arse coming down on it

the orang wheel was sandy carsons, he broke it, though he did give it some abuse

im still after one myself, i think it looks cool

I rode the year before last with a tuff on the front. It takes a few days to get used to as the flex takes away some of the pump power.

i maight stick my white one on the front for creation next week

or at least bring it with me anyways and maybe give it a try

i used to run a tuff2 on the front but only when i didnt have a matching pair of rims, i used to get a lot of stick for it too

funny how things come around to be cool

i used to run a tuff up front back in the early 90's,

and my current dirt bike has one, works for me, bit flexy but you get used to it,

i think it looks cool anyway.

the bike in the united dvd is ricky adams, dig photographer.

he scored a tuff same time as sandy from wtp when they released the adidas bmx or whatever it was at the time, rickys bike is a hoffman flash.

Mines off now... I pumped out of a tranny and nothing happened, next thing I know I was over the deck. That was it for me. Fun while is lasted and I sure enjoyed the look of it.

Im sure I told you about pumping too hard on Tuffs at Harrow. A front Tuff sent my mate otb's coming down a transition. He split his eyebrow open quite nastly.
