My bike set up for riding trails. I took the pegs off and replaced the front wheel with a sealed Sky-Way Tough II wheel on a 2.1" Odyssey Dirt Path. If I ever get the money, I'll be replacing the tire with a 2.125" tan wall knobby Aitken. Tell me what you guys think.

 I love it. It just reminds me of the Aerospokes that I see on fixed gears around here. I love the wheel/sprocket match too. Looking good.

 lol. that wheel will never brake. i hear if they become untrue you just put it in the freezer

 Nah, that's just a myth. I rode it a bit last summer and it has a slight wobble in it. That thing has been sitting in the garage all winter. If sub -30 temperatures for weeks on end wont true it, I don't think a freezer would either. Wink

 Technically yes, the Retro Mag comes with Skyway wheels. But I bought a set of skyways back when Dave Mirra was still with Haro.

 what do you use to keep it so clean?, my brothers tried a couple plastic cleaners & like houshold cleaners but they dont do much. yours looks brand new.
  • 0 0
 It's not. The flash makes it look cleaner than it really is. But a good way to keep it clean is to not use any liquids to clean it. Once you have liquid, the dirt sticks to the plastic better. I might try using bleach, but I don't know how that will react with the plastic...

 How can you got the first wheel?
How much is that?

 I ordered the front and rear wheel a few years ago online. I think it was around $150 Canadian after shipping and taxes. So that's about ¥825.35 Chinese by today's exchange rate. (I hope that's the right symbol for Chinese currency...)

 How are the tuffwheels anyways? just for show? Razz
  • 1 0
 Put it this way, that wheel alone weighs slightly more than my 48h 14mm front hazard light with 2 pegs. The strength to weight ratio is pretty lame. They're strong, but not as strong as a lighter spoked wheel.

So yeah, it's just for show. I throw that wheel on now and then when I want to get rad in the half pipe Wink

 Hahahaha Big Grin im gonna have to admit, i love the Mags soo much, i mean if they were lighter and stronger i would have no problem riding them

 You need a 36 tooth sprocket to be trails!
  • 0 0
 A 36 would look awesome, but I 36/10 might be a bit of a hard ratio for me. Although I'm seriously considering throwing a 30t on there to see how I like it.

 the front wheel is awful
  • 0 0
 Nah, I think it's awesome. It's not on there anymore though. I just put it on when I'm not doing any serious riding. It's all good.
