Title: Skyways question?looking info on dye.
Post by: hokuspokus74 on November 05, 2014, 01:49 PM
When you guys bleach your skyways do you put the 2 in together or 1 @ a time?   also where would i get axles and ball bearings for them?

Cheers  :daumenhoch:

good question, i've never done it but i'm guessing it's just a case of getting as much vasaline in there as you can with your fingers?


Are they going to be for a show bike or a rider?

Do them together mate,one on top of the other,plenty of grease on the hubs,to be honest I didn't do the backs on mine,didn't even think about it.
