    This morning in my hometown I saw a young lad riding a chromoly Mongoose bmx with yellow tuff wheels! Was definitely and older bmx but looked frikkin awesome.
    Good to see the younger generation getting into it.

    My last bike in the late 1970's was a blue Mongoose with yellow Tuff wheels. Man I loved that bike.

  • @Megashovelman
    @Megashovelman 12 років тому +1

    Yellow Skyway Mags were great on a ROSS bmx bike I had in 1981 and the heavy duty inner tubes lasted longer and took the bumps real well. (GOOD WORK SKYWAY MAG COMPANY)

    I had some black Tuff Wheels back in the day on my Moosegoose.I loved that bike, and so did someone else, because a lowlife stole the best bike I ever owned. #tuffwheels

      I had the opposite happen. I got a generic bmx bike for x-mas 1980 from, I think, Montgomery Ward. Or a similar dept. store. It was stolen while parked in front of my house in 8th or 9th grade. My dad was pissed at me for leaving it out unlocked. But that opened the door to my finally getting a Mongoose, with Tuffs from a kid in the neighborhood, for only 50 bucks. And my dad was pissed he had to shell out even that much!
      That goose had seen better days, the kid that had owned it was a big fat fucker. But I finally had a Mongoose, with tuff wheels.

      Almost the same story here. '83 Schwinn Predator, Black Tuff Wheel II's, Laid-Back Blue Haro Seat, Black and White ODI Mushroom Grips, Blue Dice Caps on the Inner Tubes -- STOLEN

    A friend of mine, in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, was one of the first kids in our neighborhood to get a Chromoly Mongoose with blue Tuff wheels, had to be late ‘81-‘82, it really was a major breakthrough with bicycle technology. It was $350 (~$1200 now) at the time, which was, as Jeff Spicoli put it, “righteous bucks”, especially for a bike for a 13 year old kid. Certainly kicked the crap out of the “pot metal”, “boat anchor” weight Ross Apollo bike I got a few years earlier for $78.00

    in 86 or 87 I had enough money for a the GT Pro World Tour in chrome....it was 10.490ats (austrian Schillings). around 8.000 came from me.
    Then my mother brought me a yellow pro performer with blue tuffs. I was angry for years. Today I would apprecaite this bike, but still not more than the chromed Pro World Tour....the World Tours were just so beautiful.

    I think they still make the skyway tuff wheels but now they have 14mm axle and 9t cassette gearing, I plan on building an oldschool bmx from the late 80s or early 90s with all modern components

      You are an idiot. The wheels were called Motomags. Very heavy. Later the TUFF WHEEL changed the game & set the standard for "mag" wheels for bicycles.

    I loved the original black tuffs with the gold anodized hubs, they were cool looking. Didn't like to ride tuffs tho because they were too heavy. I did/do like the pedals tho. I still have an old Skyway i just tuned up for my 10 year old. He has one of the new skate park type bikes that are way nicer, better quality, better geometry and better materials etc… but for some reason he likes the old skyway. in his defense It is cool

    • @Hirthirthirt

      They were very expensive. Very strong plastic. They had a rigid stiff feel up and down. In turns they flex a little to soften rough spots. They looked so cool

    I had these, really good but a bit "elastic". They had the advantage of being straightened if you jumped on them in the correct angle. Later i got some UKAI 48 HP (double High Pressure rims) which were better.
