0zzy Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 my mates is quiet a big lad practically the same size as bigman off here, well so it looks like in video anyway.he bought an onza which he killed - was not put together propely, and he is going to get a new backwheel (19") any suggetsions for really strong hubs? , spokes? ,rims? weight is not a matter at all due to the strenth of the lad,and he doesnt want some stupid amount of money spent on a wheel that aint going to last him, it pratically has to be bomb proof. any ideas ??thanks ozzy.

BenLeacock™ Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Maybe ride stock, bigger wheels, less strain means rims last longer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Logan-Price Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Maybe ride stock, bigger wheels, less strain means rims last longer ?surely there would be strain on bigger rims which would even the strength out between mod and stock ?

Skoze Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Echo rim, any deng (or better) hub, just make sure it gets laced really well by someone who knows what they're doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0zzy Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Maybe ride stock, bigger wheels, less strain means rims last longer ?he road stock and bloody hated it! so thats why he got an onza its just his size that lets him down hes a really explosive rider and could be really good if his parts actually lasted more then 5 minutes like literally, he killed his onza back wheel with in a matter of hours.

Phil H Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Echo 07 rim , deng hub , muntiny spokes , laced by tarty.That sounds about right to me. He could also take time to work on his style, the smoother he rides the less damage there will be.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm really surprised nobodys mentioned a Kris Holm rim.Bare in mind though, the build of the wheel is the most important thing in determining it's strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrAsHeR Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Try also maybe get a 36 spoke wheel as they are more spokes so less pressure on each one ? Edited January 10, 2008 by TrAsHeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Try also maybe get a 36 spoke wheel as they are more spokes so less pressure on each one ?that is actually a valid point the more spokes the stronger the wheel build/wheel ?
