Michael Hardman Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Whats the difference bewteeen the new viz mod rims and the sand bash mod rims Can I still get the rims in the narrower width as I dont like the idea of 46 and 39mm rims Main thing though are they any better at holding a grind than a Koxx rim and whats the performance like. If your sponsered by them answer but I will not listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Just looks like they're anodized differently or something :ermm: There might be a slight difference in rim profile, but it doesn't look to be much more than that (and that might be a trick of the light); same holes, same eyelets, etc...

Michael Hardman Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 The only reason I want them is they are the only silver rim i can find that might be half good. I have a clour scheme/idea going on and well i may the first who actually wants a completely silver bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Fishwog's got a pretty much just silver bike. Don't Monty make just silver rims? If you're desperate that is, seeing as X-Lite rims don't really seem to be...well...even half good... You can get silver Alex DX-32's, can't you? They aren't properly polished silver, but they are silver, if you get me? They have the big DX-32 stickers, but you should be able to take them off? I'll try and find a link to the Alex page and see if they are... Mark. EDIT - here we are: They're available from a unicycling site which was posted up on here not so long ago, at £23, without postage. They take a grind super well, and are pretty bombproof, so might be worth a look? Just found the link; you posted it up :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Ive looked for Alex DX32's alrady found sites but there the newer black version now. Montys are ti/bromiun coloured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Whats the difference bewteeen the new viz mod rims and the sand bash mod rims ← Looks like the only difference is that the sidewalls have a 'brake wear indicator' channel, so they'll be much easier to dent.

Try find someone with some silver ones, or get the new ones they not all silver but still they would suit the bike with the bike being silver and the stickers being black :ermm: corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisa Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Not sure if I'd really like a rim minus a few spokes.. Bit of a bodge on a bike so perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still you CAN get Echo 36H In silver if you look around???

Dan@Trials-uk Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hey I difference between the sand bash and the anodised rims, are the effect in the color, the anodised version are shiny and looks sweet in the night time, and the sand bash version are like matt colors, which give a very sharp color in the day time, but not as good as the anodisedi version in the night time.

AdamR28 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Ah, so 'sand blasted' (sand bash, hehe) before anodising then, creating a matt finish rather than gloss :ermm: As well as the sidewall channel difference (compared to the older style rims): http://www.vizbikes.com/newrim19.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsking 55 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) if you arent convinced about the viz rims get a ronnie or alexx or something - stip the colour add some very hard wearing laquer and voila! shiny silver rims! :ermm: Edited February 24, 2005 by trialsking 55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocktrials Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 fair enough tart, your site is much better on descriptions, but i think the viz site has to have credit for the pictures....like of the rims....many angles of them etc.....i like a site with pictures :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea on tartybikes of showing a small pic, which can be enlarged to a larger detailed pic is better than instantly having five large pics which could be a 56kers worst nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialskid Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 viz rims are great :( i would write a review on the rims but i think it would end up putting onza/koxx/echo out of bussiness. :P" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
