Andy Vox Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi,Ronnie died quite a while ago, but i think now it looks like a 50p i should invest in something new.Basically i want something that:1) holds a grind like ron2) is wide, preferably something like 40mm, so i can run a 2.5 tyre without it folding like it does on ronnie.3) something strong, so when i ride street it doesnt just die instantly. but also light as im a bit of a weenie.I ride alot more natural than street but i enjoy going big, and landing hard now and again.anyone got any ideas?anyone tried the atomz rim at all?Thanks for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Vox Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 dx32s are very light get an echo 07 / urban then if youre destroying trialtech rimsso they are. i thought they were alot heavier than that. i havent destroyed a trial tech rim, i just havent been impressed with the ones ive seen.Ronnie is basically the perfect rim but the side walls dent far too easily. i want something like it but with smaller sidewalls and a tad wider....

scary_jeff Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) According to my research, DX32s are discontinued. You can still order from Alex rims Europe, if you make an order for 30 or more of the exact same rim (the factory will then run a batch).If you need 36 hole, try emailing 24seven bikes to see if they have any. I only asked them about 32 hole, which they didn't have. Edited July 14, 2009 by scary_jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scary_jeff Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 36h are avaliable at tartybikes, i need 32h so thats that out the window. more ideas?They are available, but that's probably just stock left over from their last order. Every place I contacted who had or had had some Alex rims in stock told me they wouldn't be getting any more, and/or that they were discontinued I just ordered a Fire Eye rim from CRC, it's pretty wide, but it's not really a trials rim, and apparently it's heavy (I couldn't find the weight listed anywhere but will weigh mine when it arrives). CRC also have a 'Spank Stiffy', which is wide, but expensive and again, not designed for trials. Onza have replacement Ronnies if you don't mind sticking with those, they only had 36 hole for 24" but they might have 32 hole for 26".

adam 94 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Echo sl, or echo urban holds a good grind and strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Vox Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 The problem with asking a question like this is that everyone just says get the rim they have and dont actually listen to what i said.Might just ring tarty and ask their advice. I do like the look of echo sl... but are they strong? i was told they dont hold a grind particualrly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 anyone tried the atomz rim at all?Yeah, I had the Atomz Light for just over 2 weeks, it then died.Trialtech undrilled... F.T.W!!!Yeah exactly what he said, grinds well and is SO SO strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
