SebJT Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 The pic in your sig doesnt really show the front wheel too well... could be photoshopped, but i cant be arsed. With a better pic then i might... :ermm:" Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 nah, dont like the blue. sorry. but its 1 off the possiblilty list :ermm: the anodized braking suface makes the brake perform better in my experience and lasts for about 3months of hard use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*OnzaMike* Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) When i had anodized side walls the braking was super cool! I was running magura blacks, the braking was utter sweet! But as one of my pads was rubbing the anodized colouring started to come off, so i just ground over the rim :-. One problem with those rims, is that theyre way to wide for the front in my opinion. I originally tried a new pair of magura black pads, but they wouldnt fit :ermm:, it was just lucky i had a pair i was already using which had less pad on them. Obviously though, for koxx frames etc, they must be brillient as they are wide at the rear, etc? :S so wide rims are needed :-.

JT! Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I don't think any colour will work well, unless you can get green. Stick to silver or black. :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsking 55 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 you want to get anodized green viz rims :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 yeh green if anything. but just having a coloured front wheel looks stupid IMO. if your gonna get colours wheels, do it properly and get a fiull set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 the v!z green clashes with the ZOO! stickers, and itll make it look mismatched because of the different shades of green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SebJT Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Here it is with a red front rim, wasnt sure if you wanted the hub red too, rim still a bit dark at the top to do it well and to be honest i aint great at doing this stuff anyway. and here with red stickers, looks sweet :ermm: Ill try and do gold now. Anyother colours...? Also a nice side on pic would be good, in the light with maybe the front wheel a bit turned. Could do it a lot better then.
