higgzGU! Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 hi there,I am wondering if viz rims are any better or worse echo because I would like to swap to viz rims but am not sure if it is a wise choise or not. I am not that happy with the echo rims, Is there any down sides to the viz rims that may put someone off buying it.ThanksCraig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 apparently they're a bit weaker than the echos but thats only hearsay..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Viz= lose!Echo= win!Echo have double strengh sidewalls so it means it can be ground 3000000000 times and still be really strong.From what i've seen of a viz rim, id never touch them with a bardge poll.

The Stig Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 07 Echos are amazing as chris said very very strong..... and hold grinds so well. Viz rims i have heard of a few just taking a battering from the better riders but if you are not at that level of riding w/e man Both really good rims.
