New From Trialtech...

Meaning... the weld (stress concentration) is now down the 'inside' of the legs, rather than on the back, which is a much less highly stressed area. The front and back of the legs are constantly under tension and compression when hooking / tapping etc, but the inside is neutral.

Just laced these up for Carthy to test - some new Trialtech double wall rims.  These are ridiculously stiff (for those who've tried them, they're up there with Spank rims), and laced up super nicely.  From giving them a grind they're a pretty hard alloy so should work well in terms of brake performance, especially with the extra boost from that inner wall too.  Weight is around 570g so fairly light considering their rigidity/stiffness.  Be cool to see how they work out (Y)

Finally some company decided to go against the single wall trend and bring out a strong double wall rim.

My friend got the crazy idea to run a carbon 26'' front rim. The profile is similar to this one and to MTB rims.

We then both swapped our front single wall rims to those carbon rims on our 26'' front disc bikes.

So light and incredibly stronger.

 

Well, this is not carbon for sure, but I am convinced it can give super good results. Jack will put this under good testings I am sure, can't wait to see the result!

Well if they are anything like the Undrilled rims seen here on Damon's bike at 01:20-01:23, and managed to shave some weight of them, then yeah they will be good.

Only annoying thing with the old undrilled rims was the slightly tapered sidewalls which made brake pad set-up a pain. So if these new rims have parallel sidewalls then it ticks all the boxes..
