AdamR28 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Nah, V!Z are heavier than Try-All cos of smaller holes and eyelets... Try-All or Atomz are the lightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 i personally wouldnt, but the drilled Onza Reggie is 520g, but thats probably because its a front/rear rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 either buy a dx32 and drill it to shit, or buy a tryall and file the holes into squares. im 1/2 way through doing mine now because i have f**k all else to do. o and i actually felt kinda guilty after weighing stan and waddys bike.

They just don't hold grinds like Echo 07s do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 depends what you weighAnd how heavy you land Edit: I think your pump gauge must be on the blink Danny, unless you weigh about 18 stone - just watched your teaser vid again.
