Muel Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Posting for Matt Ogley because he's been a very naughty boy! Rear 26" Hog rims, are they strong? Hold grinds well? All that shit? He just destroyed an Echo Urban in about a month.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxRogers Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I know this isn't 26'' but - Wasn't rode overly hard, few grinds, nothing deep. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 A not-so-great build can kill even the strongest rim though, in the same way a good wheel build can make a 'weak' rim strong enough to use for most riders. Equally, and more pertinent with that 19" wheel, butted spokes help your wheel out quite a lot, so if it's been built with plain gauge spokes that might weaken it a bit too. Thing with rims too is that one mistake can knacker them, so it's sorta hard to judge how 'strong' rims are. The TT undrilled rim Matt got offered would probably be a reasonable shout.
