What's Your Choice?

[Jason222]

Well, there are a lot of things to look at when choosing a rim. Side to side strength, how easily they flat spot, weight, shape, color, etc. But when it all boils down, what would YOU choose?

Go ahead and post why you think your choice is best.

Try-all . . light & pretty stong, only rim i've used on the back, never had any sort of problem, only thing is grinds don't stay sharp on them for very long, I think they must be softer aluminum or something.

Echo 07 for me, just bought my 3rd one, they hold grinds well and seem stronger than other rims I have used

Alex dx32 for me next.

Definitely Onza/BT/TryAll (essentially the same thing) for the rear.

Ran a 40mm Echo on the rear, finally decided to get a BT (eyeletted TryAll) which is not only 7mm wider, but lighter and probably just as strong I think Deng has gone over the top with the strength of his rims for 2007. The 46mm stock rim weighs 899g whereas the front one is about the same weight as most rear rims.

As for front rims, the TryAll is just pathetic when it comes to strength. Would like to try the DOB soon, since it's bound to be stronger than the TA and yet it's lighter.

Tryall because I run discs so don't have to re-grind it

but mostly because im too perpelexed by composition, design, and dimensions to even begin to work out why two exactly the same rims are different in price

24 = sun rynolite

any other choice is a waste of time

2007 Kris Holm. 36h, eyelitted. Equally as strong as an 07 Echo, and just as wide. Possibly lighter?

[JonMack]

Onza Hog 20" front, good skills.

Try all 19" rear, the 500 grams one. Haven't ridden it properly yet but seems okay at the moment.

I've got an echo rear rim, I find the damn thing is way too heavy, and it has flatspotted in a million places. The rim is so out of round it's rediculous.

Possibly a poor wheelbuild.

I ran an echo 07 rim for over a year without any problems at all. It never needed truing even though it got a good battering. I havent used a rim that holds grinds as well as the echo either.

3rd, god damn. I'm still on my first and it's been well over a year, have only ground it twicw in that time too, the second time was only a couple of weeks ago. Solid rims (Stock rear)

[Ash-Kennard]

Alex dx32 for me next.

do it, they are shit hot.

[Jonny Jones]

Mavic for 26", without a doubt. Blows any Trials company rims into the sea. 20" wise I guess you're stuck with Echo etc... unless you can get hold of Arrow Racing rims still?

[Brian Bleech]

24 = sun rynolite

not if you can get hold on some dm24s like me

[Luke Rainbird]

Drilled DX32 out back on my rig, solid as hell, and light to boot

[Jason222]

I've got a set of DOB magnesium rims on the way. I can't wait to give them a go.

[Tommy d]

Mavic duh!

[J Trials 31]

V!Z all the way baby! They rock! Love em. They are very good to look at and ride good too.

Oh, and you might want to change the Meta wheels to TCS. They are the components makers for Meta.

[Jason222]

I'd like to hear some reviews about the DOB rims. Any takers?
