maltesian Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) So ive been building up my fourplay and its time to decide on some rims. What, or is, the maximize rear rim width the fourplay can support? The inspired pro rim is 38MM wide. I was told that having too wide of rims would not allow the use of HS33's with out clamps or something. So I was thinking on running 2 front echo urban rims that are only 40MM wide, so that would be 1 MM bigger on each side than the inspired pro rim, what do you think? The urbans are solid rims with thick sidewalls, even if there meant for front only, the rear urban is like 46MM wide, which I hear would be too wide. What you guys think? anything better or suggestions? I would prefer drilled rims, and the inspires pro rims are legit but they only have the rear versions available, which are the thick sidewall ones, which I don't want in the front for weight reasons, because I will be running disc and it would be dumb. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/24_inch_rims/echo_urban_front_24_inch/c43p11031.html Edited May 25, 2011 by maltesian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hey, just read on this that inspired's take up to 42mm rims, but if you run tensile offset mounts you can use a rim up to 50mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Quicky bloody question for you.....why do you want wide rims on your Inspired? I run 32mm's on mine and it's perfect. Personally i wouldn't run a trials rim as i think they're overpriced and under strengthened. Nearly all trials 24" rims are un eyeletted, too wide and too heavy in my opinion. For a lot less money you could get a very good 24" rim that has eyelets, is lighter, but just not as tractor like wide. I'd look at DMR DV24's the Atomblab Pimp and PimpLite rims, Sunn Rhyno Lites etc..... all very good rims, no stupid holes and will all probably last far beyond the trialsy ones.

chris4stars Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 im curious too...with danny using atomlabs id expect alot more people to imitate? they are about 28-32mm wide i think, depending on which you choose do no trials specific rims not hold their grind too well? or are they too thin for maggies in general?

Scott Gibbs Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'd agree with that. My personal opinion is the Rhino lite xl as there as strong as any other rim out there but silly light too summat like 509g!! Not that matters as much on a street rig as it would a comp bike!

Miles Mallinson Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've been using DV's on my 24 bikes for ages, I don't really see the point either having a mega wide rim on them only if its a compy style bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 My DMR DV24's have held a grind like a boss! Far better than any other (trials) rim i've used. I think i'd try Atomblabs next, only because they look sexier and are the same weight, but 3 or so years on and my DM24s have been trued twice and still as strong as ever. Why ride cheese, when you can ride - well i don't know where this analogy is going. Ultimate Glory....Mavic to finaly answer my dreams and make a 30mmish 24" rim.

Mark W Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I fully hated narrow rims on my 24. Spank Stiffee AL40s: mission complete. EDIT: To quantify that a bit: I like running slightly lower pressures (usually around 35psi), so with wider rims tyre fold's not as bad for spins, and you can do bump jumps or stair rides without getting pinches constantly. Had some Subrosa rims that were 30mm wide for about 3-4 rides. Just doing normal stuff I kept getting pinches, and my tyres just felt rubbish on them because they didn't really have their 'proper' shape.

maltesian Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Thanks for the input guys, and your opinions all seem logical. I just wanted the drilled rims and or wider rims because I plan on using my fourplay for trials use too. In other words I don't plan limiting myself to doing back flips off trees. I plan on riding both moderate trials with it and street stuff, prolly trials than anything. Well than you might say, "Get a stock bike or something", I have one and I think its kinda dull, as I feel like im limited to just hopping on my rear wheel, with the fourplay I hope to still be able to to ride moderate basic trials but with the occasion Manuel or bunny-hop(street crap). The fourlay, at least I hope, should spice things up a bit! So ill prolly go with font echo urbans for both front and rear as there only 2 MM wider anyway lol.

Scott Gibbs Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 to be fair a rim of about 32mm should be ok. The inspired rims should do you though. Dont bother with echo's as i reckon it could cause headaches with pad alignment/heel clearance ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
