Tuff wheel timeline
« on: November 02, 2008, 08:05 PM »
I tried to discuss a Tuff wheel timeline in another thread a while ago but without much luck so i'll make a seperate thread for it and try again.

As i see it the history is as follows but someone will have to fill in the dates that they were first produced

Tuff I (Unstamped)
Tuff I (Stamped)
Tuff II (Steel Hubs)
Tuff II (Alloy Hubs)
Tuff II (Rear Alloy Hub Front Plastic Hub)
Tuff II NEW (Latest variation all plastic with sealed hubs)

Post your thoughts on dates radsters and any fook-ups i've made   :D

I could fill in the blanks on a couple of those picture / weight details - between myself and my mate we've got most styles covered but i've got no idea on dates and haven't got a clue where the graphites come in to it  ???

Tuff I (Stamped) 1977
Tuff II (Steel Hubs) 1979
Tuff II (Alloy Hubs) 1982 (graphites around this time also ?)
Tuff II (Rear Alloy Hub Front Plastic Hub) 1985
Tuff II NEW (Latest variation all plastic with sealed hubs) 1986

Any thoughts  ???

The Durex "Ambrioso" wheel PMSL
Wonder if they brought out more than one set after the proto-type...or did they fail to reproduce?
