The Original 1980 Skyway Tuff 2 Rivet moulds upgraded with sealed bearings. These are what the old boys ran back in the day. Identical down to the fact that they all but indestructible. Heavy for sure, but that's a small price to pay for looking this freaking cool on the OS pub crawl!
These wheels are the freewheel version and can run a 16T and up screw on freewheel. You know the one, it goes zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz as you roll along.
Feature and Specs:
- Material - Zytel Nylon

As with most manufacturing process, things have made great progress, but not these wheels as they are authentic down the way they are made. So read on.....
Please note: Due to the rim/bead profile on Skyway Tuff Wheels there may be subtle inconsistencies in seating tyres to Skyway wheels. Due to axle configuration, there may also be a small amount of play in the bearing assembly. This is consistent with all Skyway sealed bearing wheels.
Disclaimer: Due to the nature of plastic moulded wheels there may be some discrepancies in trueness, edging, colour and consistency. This varies with each pair and is accustomed to Skyway Tuff wheels.
Rivets: The riveting process used in Skyway Rivet wheels is fairly heavy. This can cause inconsistencies with the rivets and hubs themselves and is consistent with their full range.
