I was reading through some old BMXA and Freestyle magazines last night looking for a new project...1985-1986. I kept coming across a company that was advertising replacement axles with sealed bearings for Tuff IIs. Has anyone ever used these or seen them around in this century?
I think the name of the company was NHA???

Straightjackets I believe was the name of the product....

Yep, that's them. Have you ever used them or seen them around?
My local bike shop got a pair of them BITD. I think they had a price tag somewhere near $60. They never sold so they gave them to me. I have one installed in a Tuff I front wheel. They work great but the lock nuts are very thin. One side stripped out so when you tighten the wheel on, it puts too much side load on the bearings. Was gonna get some replacements this year but have not done that yet. The other one is NOS but the bag disintegrated from storing it in my toolbox.
I forgot what company made them and was gonna look in old mags to re-identify them.
