Skyway Tuff Forks

The Skyway Tuff Fork is a durable lightweight (1.7 lbs.) racing fork. The entire unit is made of 4130 Chrome Moly Steel. The stem has a 1" O.D., uses a .083" wall and is flared (rather than welded) to reduce weight. It has a 1 X 24 thread and is designed to accept Schwinn #56752 and #56754 cone set and standard 4" head tube. The legs are mandril-bent uniformly for low tube stress and wall thinning. With the use of ⅞" O.D. tubing and a .065 wall these forks have strong lightweight legs with a thin racy look. The .100" thick die stamped tabs extend below the fork leg to minimise weight without sacrificing strength.

The Tuff Fork is available either unpainted or with a white enamel finish.

Shortly after the release of the Skyway Tuff Fork in 1979, Skyway decided that it wanted to remain just "a wheel company" and decided to halt production of the fork just 6 months later.
