Max F Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 As I'll maybe need a new rear rim for my Inspired sometime soon, I'm looking for strong, not too expensive rims that can be used with a V-Brake. Black would be my preferred "colour". What would you suggest? Are the Inspired Team rims a good choice? (http://www.trialmarkt.de/Felgen/Felgen-24/Felge-24-Inspired-Team-36mm-32-Loch-schwarz::357.html) Also found this http://www.ebay.de/itm/Spank-Suborsa-Royala-Felge-gold-24-32-Loch-24-Zoll-Hammerpreis-UVP-69-90-/321396390702?ebayCategoryId=177821 pretty cheap, but are they good for street trials and V-Brake compatible? Thanks for every help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Spank rims f**king rule. They don't really have ideal sidewalls for rim brakes, but your pads will wear to the shape of it pretty quickly (judging from the ones Ali used to use).

isitafox Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 There's a guy on here selling some black Stiffy's, they'd be ideal http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/186361-2x-spank-stiffy-40al-rims-24/#entry2582521 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 My ronnie on the rear has quite large sidewalls, and hold a grind amazingly well, but not sure if my front atom lab can be used with a rim brake. It does look to have a fairly good side wall though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max F Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all these answers. As I already have some litte golden accents on my bike (saint cranks and golden brake cable hose), I'm really thinking about just buying two of the spank rims.. and they are sooo cheap won't hurt to buy two Just hope it's not too much gold for my build. I run a grinded rim setup, will I be able to grind the sidewalls to a suitable shape for the brake pads(TNN green)?

I run a grinded rim setup, will I be able to grind the sidewalls to a suitable shape for the brake pads(TNN green)? The Stiffys have straight side walls so they are perfect for rim brakes and hold a grind pretty well. Only the Spank Spikes have rounded side walls but still work, as Ali stated somewhere on here. Da du aus Dtl. bist, ist der Versand auch nicht mehr so hoch wie nach GB bzw. wenn du mal in Halle bist...
