Hey guys, just a heads up for those who may have been sleeping (hendrix mis-quote)

:shocked:
These are going to split opinion I think!
Marmite Syndrome!
-
Not mad keen myself, will be interesting to see how they sit on a bike
-
well I like marmite, but I think they look proper shoite
-
not liking them myself
-
Not my cup of tea and they are still drilling that stoopid reflector hole in them :crazy2: :knuppel2:
-
the owner of my LBS told me the other day that as from next year nylon/plastic mag wheels will not be legal for sale in the UK as the braking on them doesn't meet the latest standards
:wtf:
-
They're not bad, but they've got nothing on the tuff 2, and 57delray, you're joking right? ???
-
Sorry, but they look like complete shit.
Hey Skyway - make a 2012 TA instead of fanny arsing around adding spokes to a wheel that at best will be OE on super low end bikes.

I've got 24" Skyways with white DC blocks. In the dry you get deafened by the noise, in the wet you stop when it's dry!

:wtf: my tuffs with squeaky pads work a treat so that sounds a bit fishy

Why dont they just update the Tuff wheel with a stronger bead for high pressure and an improved braking surface, knurled finnish maybe. 14m axle and a cassette hub and make it a small increase in price compared to the original ones not just plain double price increase.

Yes :P I know that but oh dam what a break through. They are not very common and thats why they are not being used by everyday stylers. I dont like the low pressure as well.
-
what this low pressure sh!te, i run 70-75 lbs no problem :daumenhoch:
-
I have often wondered about the pressure thing. Has anyone ever seen/felt the supposed consequences of running regular tuffs at twice there recommended pressure? ???
-
I run my tuffs at 65-70 and no probs so far....
-
Yes and I run spokes at 110psi but I dont think tuffs as they stand could handel that. Do Skyway sponsor any top riders ?
I know tuffs and Spokes are a totally different ride but they could be up dated into this century. I love the look of Tuffs and If they were updated who knows "HP Tuffs" and Im not talking Daddys sauce ha ha.

:2funny: on todays agenda , fook the worlds in meltdown , we will ban them plastic wheels as they could be dangerous :2funny:
-
They're only $80 now, bet in about a year or two they'll only be £30 if they go the same way as normal skyways...
