LauraPalmer Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hello!a mate and me are thinking about buying them...who rides them, how much do you weigh and how do they work - do they take a beating? i know you can buy them on biketrialstation.com , but will it be available here in Europe soon or is it already? i have asked something similiar in the "new members chat" but only got one rim-review...yours Gerhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Shaw Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Bought a front 26" one. Seems OK at first looks. The guy who brings them in said it would be 38mm, but its actually 34mm. Going to build it this week and batter it over winter.Personally I wouldn't buy a rear one if you run a grind, but I haven't used one so can't give a true verdict.

Simpson Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 My mate Matty Bird (aka worst wheel builder ever has) got front and rear, but he does run dual disk...... shame is he wont really be able to give any good reveiws... BUT if it lasts more than a week with 1 of matts builds they must be amazing! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I have front and rear mag rims. Rebuilding them tonight with the right size spokes so ill weigh them as well.Only used em like a week but they are really good. Makea great weight difference and they haven't dented yet.Only problem is the spoke length. Apprently length is 174mm both rims with any hub? I'll try these lengths tonight and hopefully they'll work.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Apprently length is 174mm both rims with any hub?That's really not correct... measure the ERDs for me and let me know your hubs then I'll work out the correct lengths for you. http://www.damonrinard.com/spocalc.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
