Tony Harrison Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Every time magnesium is mentioned, some clown always remembers the 'magnesium ribbon' experiment from school... It's not relevant! These things are going to suddenly combust and burn brighter than the sun!They look damn good, anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) My current A1 rig with my new magnesium/echo wheelsets and new law moto-x pedals. very stealthly looking indeed. Zhi built these up within 48hrs of recieving the echo hubs i sent him. then he sent the wheelsets back in a nice wheelset carrier bag insanely fast build, enough to put tarty out of business because he wasnt gonna charge me. i sent him cash for his very fast services. nice one zhi Right pic slightly close up.

Greetings Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 They look really good but not as good as rims made of hydrogen would look like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 How well would a grind hold on magnesium rims????Not very well, magnesium alloys are usually quite soft (relative to aluminium ones anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Shoulnd't be a problem with dece pads though? It'll be the tryall vs dx32 debate all over again."tryalls are too soft for anything, and dx32 too narrow".While in reality, everything but brown bloxx works really nicely on tryalls, especially cousts.Mag rim + coust pads would probably equal WIN.

Rusevelt Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Zhi already explained that these the sidewalls are way thicker than regular alu rims, so smooth, light, or heavy grind isnt a problem(ive dropped and scratched my Dmr V12 pedals so many times, the wear rate is no different than when i had regular V12 pedals years ago). i simply wanted to black stealthly look or my rig, hense using Green Rock pads. ill upload a close up pic of my rear Echo wheelset against my Magnesium wheelsets so you can see the difference i the rim profile and thickness of sidewalls. as far as im concerned, they feel no different in flex and stiffness to my echo, but they are ridiculously lighter so much so that my rear magnesium/echo wheelset, is lighter than my front echo/adamant wheelset. of course i will eventually ovalizes them over time, but thats inevitable and irrelevant. thats all everyone needs to know.
