Not sure what you want there mate?
Tuff 1's never came in freewheel. You can convert the coasterbrake to a freewheel but it's not real smooth.
Have you got a pic of what your fixing?

Get them glass grit blasted and then drown them in wd40. They will look like new.
Tuff Wheel 1's came with a coaster brake only. You can convert them to a freewheel by removing bits and putting in a washer.

Tuff wheel II's had freewheels.


The Coasterbrakes are the same on 1's and II's. Some II's are Suntour too.

Maurice Meyer was a factory Skyway rider in the US and is a member on the US forums. He has a site with a whole bunch of Skyway info.
I've spoken with him via email a bit and is also a member of the Curb Dogs. He was quite well known back in the 80's.

Beads don't work as good as glass. Beads won't take the thin layer off like glass will.
