Includes some great footage of how the 'Tuff Wheels' are made. SKYWAY, based in Redding Ca. The makers of the original 5 spoke "Tuff Wheel". Although mainly Mag wheels, they also made frames and complete bikes for a brief period. Skyway had a great race team for many years. The company still produces a variety of products today. Founded in 1963, Skyway is alive and well, enjoying decades of thriving business. With Skyway's growing involvement with motocross accessories, they thought they could make the industry's first composite nylon wheel. After some thought, they realized that it wouldn't work due to the heat that is expelled from a motorcycle wheel, so they decided on the next best thing - a composite bicycle wheel for BMX use. In 1974, Skyway entered the BMX history books by "re-inventing the wheel" with their brand new "Tuff Wheel 1". This first Tuff Wheel was available in black only and featured a coaster brake. The demand and popularity for these wheels steadily increased as the first few years rolled along. Then, in 1977, Schwinn contracted Skyway to provide yellow Tuff 1's as their "stock" wheel for their "Scrambler" bicycle. This was Skyway's very first of many "OEM" customers. Red and Blue Tuff 1's were immediately introduced into the BMX market at this time as well. With their success in the BMX wheel market, Skyway decided it was time to do something different and introduced the "Tuff Fork". Shortly after that, they decided that they wanted to remain just "a wheel company" and decided to halt production of the fork just 6 months later. ➡️ The Stuntabiker Channel is a journey back to the 80s & 90s.
