sstein Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am building a new wheel for my street trials bike and i want something a bit thinner than the standard 46mm trials rims. I was thinking of getting a dmr dv, ns fundamental or octane one rim. The thing i want to know is will they handle being ground or will it substantially weaken them? Also will a grind on them wear out really quickly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I hear good things about spank rims. You can get em off CRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich J Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Another +1 on spank. I have one sat in my room if you fancy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm rolling on Combats 36mm. But no grind. I think they do offer a machined model though. They also come in 36h which was a priority for me. I had a 32h Ryno Lite XL up front which kinda got battered straight off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Currently running Combats on my 24. Seem strong enough, but they dent easily. More suitable for flowy brakeless stuff. I would imagine a grind would weaken these rims. however, another +1 for spank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
