Skyway Tuff Pedals

Skyway TUFF PEDALS™ were introduced in the summer of 1981. The pedal body is made of a high technology, graphite reinforced engineering thermoplastic. The spindle is machined and ground to a precise dimension and is made of heat-treated chrome-moly steel. The cages are replaceable and made from high tensile heat-treated aluminium alloy.

The Skyway TUFF Pedals come in 1/2" or 9/16" and the cages were available in red, gold, blue and silver.

Retro

Skyway has teamed up with legendary BMX product maker Bullseye USA to produce a brand new SKYWAY TUFF PEDAL, due for release in February 2012. The all-new Tuff Pedals will be serial numbered on the pedal body, and will be sold in numerical order.

Using the original Skyway Tuff Pedal as it's inspiration, the new Skyway / Bullseye collaboration pedal will feature a 100% CNC aircraft grade alloy pedal body with military grade black anodized finish. Pedal cage color options will be Black, Blue, Gold, Red, and Silver. Unlike the originals, these pedals will feature precision sealed bearings.

Takagi MX Mang-Moly Size-Stamped One Piece Cranks

"The Takagi MX Mangmoly Cranks are made of Manganese/Mang-Moly. During the late 70's, Japan's bicycle industry/manufacturing was in full swing and their supply of chrome-moly steel couldn't keep up with the demand abroad. This gave way to Mang-Moly being used as an alternative for chromoly bicycle parts and frames due to it's similar characteristics." - Takagi cranks of different types ~ BMX Society
