Mark W Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 DOB have some new rims out for 2010. They're a bit of an improvement on their older models, in so much as they've got a properly meaty outer wall which should stop any spoke-pulling-through issues, and a 'complete' inner wall to give them a bit more rigidity. They're available in a range of finishes, and the weights (in black) are 389g (19"), 321g (20"), 444g (26" front) and 535g (26" rear). The front rims in 20" and 26" are 33mm wide, and the two rear rims are 43mm wide. Photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Do look more substantial than the older rims, although the machining and joining doesn't look too tidy, narrow too by other rims. be interesting to see how the hold up and if they hold a grind.

Mark W Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Joins when un-built usually look a bit ropey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) They could have eyeleted those rims (rear rim only) for higher spoke tension, even with the extra 50g of weight, they would still be lighter than any other rim out there.

You wouldn't think so even if they used thicker tubing and cnc'd yoke to overcome the problems of the previous DOB frames. Would be interesting to see new forks though.
