matt.price Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Right, rear rim is getting a bit worn and the spokes have seen better days, time for an update. So are these DOB magnesium rims anygood? They seem incredibly light weight.. might be quite week considering how light it is.. but i dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so dont bother they hold grinds for about 10 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Talking to Joe seddon...he said that Giaco's rear stock rim was amazing, brake worked better than any he'd seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Iv been running the new dob rims for about 5 weeks now. The front was going strong until I landed funny in Spain and totally killed it (pretty sure any rim would have died though) The back one is going strong, I done a number of large drops down to funny angles and its held up ok. It holds a grind quite well but one thing I have noticed is the amount of material that comes off when grinding, go steady with the grinder of you'll be through in no time. My brake is as good as its ever been, im running rockman blue's and the combo seems to be working really well. Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
