Jason222 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I'm thinking of getting a set of these. Has anyone had any problems with them? And more importantly, HOW WELL DO THEY GRIND UP?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm now running one on the rear. Was a bit of a mission to build it up 32h on a 36h profile hub!It seems good so far, felt really stiff, has a nice, deep profile, and is made of pretty thick metal. 560g too. It didn't grind amazingly, but I was using a pretty worn disk. Brake's working mint anyways due to awesome phat pads.Will post more once I've given the rim more of a beating.

Dan@Trials-uk Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 These rims are possibly the lightest rims we have, crazy weight, rear echo stock is more or less the same weight as a set of the DOB'sI have a mod set built up, but not ridden yet, so will update this post once I used them for abit, The rims will be uploaded to our site tomorow, with images/ info.

Jason222 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) Regrind with a good disc and let me know how it goes!! These rims are possibly the lightest rims we have, crazy weight, rear echo stock is more or less the same weight as a set of the DOB'sCan you give me an estimate on how much a set of them would be, with shipping to Canada?

Rusevelt Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 they are fine for light & heavy grinds as the rim walls are twice the thickness as echo 07 rims. so forget all those sh*t stories about school experiements with magnesium.

Phatmike Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Update:Had it for 7 days, and two of the spokes have pulled through the rim. Avoid like the plague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
