Post by: weston on September 08, 2005, 08:06 PM: i did the hubs in about 82,i drilled out my collapsed hubs,got some repair bolts,got some gold suntour large flange hubs,drilled some holes & used them on my skyways..fit perfect (i didnt actually do the work,it was my dad)...got some old pictures at my dads to post...i'll sort it out later

Post by: billstup on September 08, 2005, 09:33 PM: Cider I think those hubs were a sealed version that could be bought as replacments for tuffs, but not made by Skyway ;)

Post by: cider on September 09, 2005, 02:05 PM: got all the bits to go with them as well, not sure if they take different axle's though,

might try on a pair of blue tuffs ive got as the back wheel is a cassette hub and ive taken it apart and cant figure out how it goes back together :)

Post by: Donker on September 09, 2005, 03:50 PM: agree with mr acid, build them up, the sealed aeros i have are smoooooooooth riders, those should be the same.
