Sam Song Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I just found that I can't get any future replacement for my Echo urban rear rim now All these light weight parts are great, but there should still be options available for people who don't want to replace parts that often, and just set up and forget. I could go with Trialtech rims, but I find that they don't hold grinds very well, and bend easy. Urban rims were awesome :/ Do you think we'll be forced to use single wall rear rims from now on?

Cap Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) I could go with Trialtech rims, but I find that they don't hold grinds very well, and bend easy. I don't know what the grinds are like compared to on an urban but I wouldn't of said they bend easy. As said TR rims would be a good choice if you don't want to go for a single wall rim.

Blake Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Basically the same thing, urban and TR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis G Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Echo TR all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yeah, I think the reason Echo discontinued the Urban rims was that they were too similar to TR's from a practical viewpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 TR's are awesome rims as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 TR rims are awesome. Id run one on my new build but Ive turned into a bit of a weight weenie lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I was the same, if they did a singlewall version that would be my rim of choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Echo have hit the nail on the head in terms of material too. Hold a grind so well. If they made them in 47mm instead of 44mm and in singlewall Id have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
