Mark W Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hey, I'm trying to get a new front rim for my T-Pro. I want it to be silver (or blue, black as a proper last resort), drilled and not uber expensive. Can anyone give me a few examples? So far, I've only *really* found the Try-All drilled rim in silver to kinda match what I want, but it's like £35 from Cleanbikes, which is a bit more than I was looking to spend. Anyone got any other suggestions? I'm tempted by the Echo semi-drilled front rim from Select for £22.50, but I wanna check my options first. Thanks for any help, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) What about monty hydra's? I know they arent drilled, and they arnt silver. :ermm: but they would suit a t-pro nicely. :o EDIT: Actualy, i don't think they do them any more, just looking on cleanbikes. :) Edited March 27, 2005 by JT!

Well, that and a front Creepy Crawler, but you know where you are when you're trying to get a Creepy... Thanks anyway, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) Someone didn't read the question :o ← I did but i thought i'd just suggest that one. You don't have to have a matching front wheel. I think the only silver, drilled rim you can get is the tryall one. :ermm: BTW what are those pedals? Edited March 27, 2005 by JT!

Steve-A Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Dont dis the forks, they are amazing. I've never seen a set of forks flex less than Fall Guys, when there is a 14st trials rider front hopping on them. Not me I'm only 9st :S If you want silver and drilled Koxx/Jiz are looking like your only options unfortunately. On the other hand buy any rim, drill big holes and paint is silver :o :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 That'd be a bit too ghetto for my liking, Steve :o They are freaking cool forks. They've given it a slightly higher front end, so it feels more BMXy, which is all for the good. Anyhoo, does anyone know if Cleanbikes are going to be at the show? Or anyone selling Koxx products? I'm guessing NSE might be, but I didn't know the state of play... Are the Try-All/Koxx rims any good at all? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) Are the Try-All/Koxx rims any good at all? ← I run the tryall front rim, does the job, seems nice and light. If you get the sliver one, and run a maggie, its dosnt look stupid as the paint dosnt come off, like one the colourd ones. :o Edited March 28, 2005 by JT!

Mark W Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I was thinking of Koxx/Try-All, but do they take a grind well/not die immediately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 erm...it should be ok on the front. my V!Z rim didn't hold grinds on the rear, but i think try-all's are a bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) Silver echo drilled rim. I had one a while back, single wall, with eyelets, nice and light, a very good rim. Found some on ebay for £20. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=7142310724 Sounds perfect :unsure: Edited March 30, 2005 by wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
