Ok so I'm a noob and I know I am but humour me...

I bought a load of kit a few years back and started 'building' but never got beyond the taking apart stage and now I've gone back to the pile of bits to try and make sense of it all I'm toiling. I've got 5 tuff 2s in the garage some intact some not...and I've got a bag of associated bits some of which came off the wheels and some that were new and intended to replace the bits I was removing. Clear?

Ok so my filing system isn't worth sh... and I don't know where everything should go and I'm not sure about this particular bit...any ideas experts?

Is it even off a bmx lol?!

I think it might be part of the rear axle from a tuff but who am I kidding!

Cheers

I would have gone for a hub axle as a guess...but harris above seems to of hit the nail on the head

A bullseye axle you say?? used as replacements in tuff 2's do you know?

I've got a graphite and standard alloy hubbed tuff2 here with no innards and I think I took this out of one of them but I can't find the axle to go with it if thats the case. Cheers for this guys...

Will only work with sealed bearing hubs so not with the early Skyway Tuff II's unless converted to sealed bearing

Like Dan says , looks to be a bullseye axle & collars . I've a set of 80's Gen3 graphites with sealed hubs but they don't run any collars/spacers like those .

Cheers guys...now know what it is but can't work out why I have it

Think I'll put up a coupla pics and see what you make of em if you don't mind...

I take it it would be a rear wheel it fits/came off?

Cheers

Yeah , deffo rear hub because of odd size collars to allow for freewheel side spacing .

Check out this pic , the opposite side to the freewheel is spaced longer with washers or sometimes larger collar .
