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❤
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 🤘
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..
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...
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.
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.
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 .
@@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
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 👌
Excellent. I’ve got a set of yellow Skyways from my Torker from 1981. I’m hoping they come out as good!
For those of us who grew up in Northern California in the 1970s, this is awesome! :)
Red bluff in the house

Did you ever get to finish this before the pandemic? Would be a pity to miss out on the rest...
Can I use WD-40 (the original product) to clean TUF mags? Or I have to use a special stuff?
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...
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
So are you guys gonna do a 2020 se bikes vid or whatever

Wheres the rest of this restoration??
"Lotsa great tips"! Cheers ;-)

Would have helped if they had an impact gun
Can you convert a front skyway mag into a rear one I have 2 front wheel only

Hey fellas, what happened to the follow up vids?

Adjustable wrenches? Get yourself a set of decent spanners

The tire logo not where the valve stem is at and they both are in different locations
But they nice and clean

This dudes "American" accent is hilarious
Hes from New Zealand ;)
@@alansbmx ahhh! in that case, dont mention the war
Please save yourself "a lot of work" by power washing these parts
That'd be fantastic attention to detail wouldn't it
