matt.price Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) hey my rim is about stuffed and i'm looking for a new rim for about £35 ish . What i want is firstly strong and will stay in true for lond as poss , and also performance. ( 32 hole ) ive narrowed it down to these around £35 pounds. Onza Hog Echo Tr Trialtech race undrilled ( not sure , because its says ideal for street riders ) Try-all rear Trialtech sport p.s a rim that is going to last for aslong as possible.. thanks! matt Edited June 27, 2010 by matt.price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 buy this now stronger than the one ring. you litterally do have to drop gap into the fires of mount doom to put a dent in it and holds grinds perfectly. and you've got £10 spare so you can buy this lil bling bling for you keys an tingz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr ailsbury Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I'd say its worth replacing your hub for really. But Onza Hog or a trialtech otherwise probably. Never seen a try-all last more than a few months and not had anything good from Deng since 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt.price Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 hmm. im edging towards the hog. But the trialtech is 100g lighter , will it make much difference? worth the extra £10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durkie Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Pretty sure the try-all and trialtech are the exact same: weigh the same, look the same, and have the exact same erd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Pretty sure the try-all and trialtech are the exact same: weigh the same, look the same, and have the exact same erd. Pretty much yes. What is wrong with Echo Urban rims? They are strong as hell. Even front ones on the back are sweet. If weight doesn't matter too much then get one of them. But I would definitely recommend trying a front Echo on the back if your looking for strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzatrip Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 No i just done ride rocks im more of a street rider due to where im located, grind is good i run a sharp one and with my brake set up its sooo stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Vox Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Im with Adam on this one, Echo Urban. Ok it weighs as much as most peoples bikes, but its so strong and holds a grind so well. If anyone has ever seen me ride, they will understand why i love this rim so much. It just physically wont dent, buckle or do anything wrong. That is until i fell off and my bike fell 6 foot onto a post which hit the spokes of the rear wheel. Oh and its still going. :] I still cannot understand the trialtech hype. its a koxx rim, the same ones a few years ago everyone slated over and over, it flexes when you pedal, it just doesnt work. Cheese metal was the exact term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese metal was the exact term. Orge on here flatspoted his urban on the first day he had it, twice. Ive just gone from a tryall to a trialtech undrilled and i can notice the difference by huge amounts, its uber stiff and sooo strong. I am a harsh rider ask anyone who has seen me ride can back me up on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Vox Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'm not getting into a whos the harshest competition Trial tech undrilled i cant comment on, never used or had experience with one. Trialtech sport imo isnt great and is essentially identical to Koxx. In terms of someone flat spotting a echo urban twice on the first day, a rim is only as stong as the build. I built mine myself and would consider myself better than average (i used to ride with beau and got alot of experience trueing and building wheels for him, as he went through at least one rim a week), so maybe the build wasnt very good? I also make an effort to ensure the spokes are tensioned equally after every few rides, or any big down gaps. Essentially an urban built badly, would be worse than a single walled rim made of cheese metal built well. Built properly in my personal opinion the urban is the strongest rim avaliable, and i know for a fact it will hold a dirty deep grind for ages.

Im not after a competion.... id own all of you i joke i joke. I totally agree about could of been a bad build but i have had one of his wheels that he built and i can say that it was a pretty good build. Ive built mine aswell (first time ever) and its solid. Yeah ive also made sure my spokes are roughly same tension and that wheel is solid. The urban is a stupidly good rim but he wants something thats strong and not stupidly heavy. Were the trialtech undrilled comes in. I know 25grams is not alot (I have a simtra i dont care ) but he has a the final pick so he could go for the urban or trialtech undrilled.
