D Rock 45 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 looking at getting the onza pro diamon rim as my echo urban has seen better days, a friend of mine has one and says there really good, and i like the look of it also the price is alright. But can't go of one opinion. So my question to anyone who has has one, how good are they strenth of them for street bearing in mind i dont run to low tyre pressure not to prone to dinging it anymore Cheers Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I rode with a guy that had his Pro Diamond rim on for around two years riding some seriously big stuff. He really rates it. Strong rim. Holds a grind well and is hard to dent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Rock 45 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 not to bad i could put up with afew if i were to dent it, am guessing the thin side walls was with grinding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Strong yes, but i would only say get one if you run disk, i found it really hard to get a mag to work as the side walls are angled and grinds didnt last too long, good rims though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
