Looking at changing my Pro diamond after having a bit of a fight with him today.

What are you guys running that is single wall preferably, quite light and holds a great really well?

Trialtech any good?

I also realllllly don't want angled sidewalls.

Thanks a lot :D

The TryAll K2 rims I have seem to pretty damn good too. With Coust pads the brake is awesome and after riding 2-3 times week in the dirt, rain and in dusty barn/warehouse it still doesn't need a grind.

Would this be recommendable for a 24'' wheel as well?

Yeah! Ran one on my 24" Echo and it was brilliant, if you take your time and single wall it they're reasonably light too :)

Thanks for all the replies :)

is your pro diamond a write off then? your such a tgs basher dan!

Pretty much, because the side wall is angled and the wheel is egged to f**k it makes the brake lever really close to the bars then at one interval you don't have to pull it much at all. Not interested in fixed it as it doesn't really hold a grind too well anyway!

Did you just use a grinder and a 1mm cutting disc to single wall it? How about strength? I suppose the rim will lose a lot of its stiffness when single walled.
