[@glenpiro313]

Excellent. I’ve got a set of yellow Skyways from my Torker from 1981. I’m hoping they come out as good!

[@leocard6799]

Where’s episode 3

[@monkist]

Did you ever get to finish this before the pandemic? Would be a pity to miss out on the rest...

[@maximusplebius9992]

Wheres the rest of this restoration??

[@agoat9625]

So are you guys gonna do a 2020 se bikes vid or whatever

[@TBoneBoomBoom]

For those of us who grew up in Northern California in the 1970s, this is awesome! :)

Red bluff in the house

[@ClayKirby-sj3zy]

That was my childhood.. had too move in the middle of the bmx craze.. lucky enough I found new friends on the East Coast but not the same.. Bikes started getting real nice.. miss those days❤

[@diegoborba13]

Can I use WD-40 (the original product) to clean TUF mags? Or I have to use a special stuff?

[@nihilisticnut9916]

01:35 When taking bolts off like this, it's a good idea to apply a little lube, or copper anti-seize, and work the bolt back and forth a little. In doing this, it will loosen any debris collected (rust etc) and lowers the chance of complications in unthreading.

[@dcsrt1300]

Would have helped if they had an impact gun

[@glenwhyte2555]

Thanks for sharing..If i posted a set of mags to you what would this cost me including the new tubes & comp3's ? Many thanks

[@felixnile]

i use a dishwasher to clean mags.

[@tdub5776]

Adjustable wrenches? Get yourself a set of decent spanners

[@stacybuchkowsky6376]

U add sealed bearings from old school hubs I done it

[@ralphflorez4137]

[@andrewcook5606]

Where’s the following episodes for the restoration? We need to see the rest of the restoration and see the finished bike

[@iamyourfuture808]

Please save yourself "a lot of work" by power washing these parts

[@adamelliott3528]

That'd be fantastic attention to detail wouldn't it

[@alexyo3927]

@@adamelliott3528 trust me you'll get it way more clean, use less product and save on man hours and the end result will be better as you can spend more time on finishing

[@moshman33]

Yay for the alloy flanges!

[@jb.1924]

It's December 2020 and i'm still searching for Episode 3 :') I got a Skyway BMX and want to restore it. Maybe the videos helping me

[@memphislee69]

Man those came out great! You’re salvaging our childhoods! Thanks. 👍🏻

[@captianderp9452]

link for the next episode, i couldnt find

[@matthicks4672]

yeah, would like to see the finished bike too

[@indianadave8881]

Why did you never finish this build series? It was going great!

[@alansbmx]

The priority to get the bike ready for the customer took over

[@indianadave8881]

@@alansbmx Bummer. I've been looking for inspiration for my TA.

[@Rick_Todd]

Looking Good , It's all coming along nicely

[@jimlmackjr1]

lol big no no The tire logo not where the valve stem is at and they both are in different locations But they nice and clean

[@charlesmurphy1840]

Look good.there is a couple ways you could go to make your process faster.wire wheel on the axel will takes two minutes to make them look brand new..they make a paint removing brush for drill guns that would clean the dirt off the hubs a lot faster and not hurt anything..working in a shop time is everything..they look great though..

[@ClayKirby-sj3zy]

Like those tiress.. mine i got som Cheng Shen comp 3 style for a rebuild project.. there fine but i like a little label on the side.

[@ClubmanGT1971]

Makes me feel like a kid again watching this awesome video. Love the detail you went to and made sure you restored them to the correct finish 👌

[@ClayKirby-sj3zy]

Cool too know there rebuillable... They look great ❤

[@freshcutsbarbershop2051]

Can you convert a front skyway mag into a rear one I have 2 front wheel only

[@roberthatfull3816]

Yep if the hubs are alloy buy a rebuild kit for a rear tuff you have to grind the heads off the rivets that hold the plates together and drift out the rivets the rebuild kit just bolts together hope this helps mate .

[@retrobikechannel2599]

Episode three?

[@adamlee9614]

Why don't you use a steam cleaner on hubs?

[@AP-gn9fd]

Whetes episode 3?

[@MrKingNica]

Where is episode 3?

[@stevegreensmith2484]

Hey fellas, what happened to the follow up vids?

[@iamyourfuture808]

They screwed up on the re chrome so couldn’t show it

[@Blackinterceptor999]

I think a large sink and dish detergent with hot water would make the cleaning go WAY faster and with better results, use a small brush on the inside...

[@roberthatfull3816]

Luckily the hubs wasnt crushed that was common back in the day also i used to use a magnet for removeing loose ball bearings (i still do lol)this vid was very nostalgic for me as i used to do this every week to replace the alloy hubs that where crushed or stripped threads on the axles Kool kontent and vid mate 🤘

[@EricSajid]

in 1985 I broke one while jumping from a wall

[@77lalocura]

Would trike skyway mags be compatible to work on a regular 24” bike? I know the front one will bolt right up. I’m wondering if the rear ones are compatible? I’m asking cause we have a trike at work that has a nice set of mags.

[@shaneadamiak2153]

I have a set of tuff wheel 1's do you sell a front and rear axle, bearing for a rebuild?

[@rugbydaydreams9678]

My 82 Skyway needs this great job

[@TW39]

Nice tranformation on the skyway tuffs

[@-Dash-]

Where is the finished bike video???

[@spacehoppermark6161]

"Lotsa great tips"! Cheers ;-)

[@devfekmen]

What bearings did you use?
