Is there any difference in the wheel itself between a freewheel Tuff Wheel and a coaster brake Tuff Wheel? I want to put a set of coaster brake equipped Tuffs on my daughter's bike and can't find a stock set. I was thinking I could buy a set of readily available freewheel Tuffs, take the rear one apart and put the guts from a junker coaster brake wheel into the Tuff. Will this work? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

Keith

Kieth, i believe that the freewheel version and the coaster version is different, but i could be mistaken. Skyway makes a few different versions of the mag wheels. Ed from [email="www.coloredtuffs.com"]coloredtuffs.com[/email] is the forgoing expert on skyway mags. you can reach him on here or email him through www.coloredtuffs.com or www.planetbmx.com.

if they are the older style with a riveted-in hub, yes you can change out the whole hub (not just the internals). getting your hands on a rivet-style coaster hub will be the hard part. best bet is find a beater coaster wheel on the cheap and steal the hub out of it.

if the wheel has a "molded-in" style hub you're out of luck. no changing those, at all.

Hey Keith, Skways are still available with a coaster brake, in black or white. Check with Ed at Colored Tuffs. His link is over on the right >.

seems thats all there is on ebay anymore is older coasterbrake tuffs! last month there mustve been 20 sets and right now there are two.
