steve@banbury-trials Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 most trials wheelset aren't sold complete,but in parts.this is mainly due to trials riders grinding their rims often thus leading to rims wearing out quicker than the rest of the wheel,so most riders replace the rims often.for stock front wheels most people will use a hope pro 2 laced to a try'all front rim,and for the rear a pro 2 trials (if they not running a ffw) onto say a echo rim.these are only example mind.rear rims for trials bikes tend to be 38mm + to ensure a large tire profile.hope i've helped,steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ive gor a pair of these:http://bikes4trials.com/products.php?plid=m4b2s137p150The rims are the old try-alls ( the ones with the front double wall )...They really are extremely good, it would be worth upgrading the rear hub or locking it out and going front freewheel (like ive done) but for the money you can hardly complain!

cadbury's cream egg Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 if your heavy and a harsh rider . (not smooth) then an echo rim would do you good on some kind of half decent hub or you could buy a hope pro 2.ive also heard a lot of good things about dob mag rims , they are light and strong and worth the extra cash.but if you aren't to heavy then you could get a try all rim on lie a mission hub. rear wheels are usually stronger than front . the front rims normally have bigger drill holes in them to make it lighter .hope i helped leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
