Chris Woodhouse Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) From what I have heard the trial tech rims are very light but I'm not to sure on the strength factor also echo 07's are very strong due to their double wall design but this will add weight, I use echo rims and to be honest I haven't really noticed any difference and my old rim was a try all.

This was mainly because I wanted a pretty lightweight front wheel, the 20" Echo rim weighs in at 500g compared to the Trial tech at 394g, that’s an extra 106g of unnecessary weight, and it’s for a front wheel so it’s not going to take a major bashing. I personally think that the Trial tech rims look at lot classier and are quite unique compared to most trials rims, but each to there own... Also between the Echo and Trial Tech rims there is only 1mm difference in width-Echo being 40mm and Trial Tech at 39mm- so there's not a massive comparison there. If I were you I would go with the Trial Tech, if my wheel comes tomorrow I will give my verdict after using it. Cheers, Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I m more leading to getting the Trial Tech as i was thinking that i spend more time on the back wheel so would like to have the front end nice and light plus i am liking the square holes which to me looks better the the auther holes out.

Steve Looking forword to your verdict Adam (what col you get) Just received it now, Weather is absolutely tipping it down, so I haven't had the chance to have ago. The Wheel I had built up was with a 26" Trial tech square holed rim, I compared it to the weight of the 20" echo wheel I have, and the trial tech wheel seemed a lot lighter even at 26". The square holes also look really nice. I would seriously recommend it even without a ride, very lightweight... Cheers, Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
