Skyway Tuff Wheels 2- The Original Tuff Wheel
Skyway Tuff Wheels 2- The Original Tuff Wheel
These Skyway Retro-Flange Edition Tuff Wheels feature hand-made and machined alloy flanges with a throwback look to the classic "Alloy 5 Flange" hubs from the early 80's! Just like Eddie Fiola had on his bike back in 81' and now!
These hubs feature precision sealed bearings for years of maintenance-free use that will roll on and on! The wheels themselves are made using the very same wheel mold from the early 80's! You don't get much more "retro" than that!
Skyway's are molded from a proprietary blend of long-strand CARBON FIBER and ZYTEL NYLON. This blend produces a wheel far stiffer than any composite wheel on the market. These wheels put the power to the ground yet take the abuse of hard landings without having to true your spokes after every ride. This strength and stiffness also allow the use of higher tire pressures than possible with previous composite wheels. These are NEW and made with todays better, and lighter materials not to mention better technology only improving on the legendary Tuff II performance you've come to expect from Skyway. Identical spoke pattern as the vintage Tuff II's, but precision made!
