trialsmax04 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 How much are we talking? What are you after? Strength? Weight? Price? Going tubeless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 and for those of us who don't know your current bike, what type of bike it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 721's with dt Swiss spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 price is not an issue but i don't want to buy somit expensive for the sake of it. Its for a trail bike and must be ok for low dropoffs <3ft disc brakes. tubless or not doesnt matter either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Stans Flow. Love them. Light, strong, tubeless compatible. Win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Heard good things about Stan's Flow, can't go wrong with Mavic's offerings either, but also check out the Spank range. I have sworn by them for trials for the past 3 years as they are just about the stiffest rims going and are a good weight, well worth considering.

Mark W Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Matt's got a pair of the AL40s on his bike as it is, I believe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've got Stan's Flows at the moment - Only had them a couple of months but they seem good so far. Mavic rims are OK but none of them are really wide enough - at least not the non-DH rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Correct, i have spanks on atm. Spank subrosa are top of my list atm I just want some suggestions so as I dont overlook a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Subrosas are amazing! they are also a pleasure to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yes they are very good, I rekon they would be easy to convert to tubless also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
