What two different steel ones ? 

there are two different shaped steel hubs , the later ones (i presume are later) are shaped like the alloy ones , i ll take a piccy of my ones , both have the bulge where the spindle is on the front wheel but the shape is different on the metal where they are riveted to the wheel , one is sorta triangle shape and the other round

[WARDY]

id say these were first metal hubs



then these as there more shaped like the alloy hub

I remember having my Team Aero Pro for my Birthday in December 84 and buying a set of 901's at the same time.

Wow  Aint' seen steel hubs like those second ones mate 

I have a couple of sets of steel hub tuffs all mine are like your first pic - I'd go along with what you said and say those are the '1st gen' ones as the second pics look like it's moving toward the alloy shaped hubs 

Going off the earlier dates i posted up I'd assume they must have come out some time in 1980 or 81 

Somethin' new every day hey 

Thought I had every bloody type of tuff wheel in my collection - gotta go find these fookers now 

..............are them red ones for sale mate
