Tartridge Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Got a video of what you were doing when you dented it? Musta landed like a proper sack of spuds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsking 55 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 i'm just over 7 1/2 stone and i run probably around 15-20 psi in the rear and a bit less up front :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corish Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) 20PSI is pretty hard for me, but what I mean by it is harder than what I useto run. corish Other than the dents though its tough :ermm: I just expected it to be super strong, from readin what everyone puts about them.

PythonRider Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Iv'e cracked my ronnie....After about 2-3 weeks :ermm: And I can't get an echo, only come in 32H :) Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMWELL Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 ronnies aint all that good no. i barely dented both of my 521s because mavic make the best rims in the world... but my ronnie ive put 6/7 dents in and i run about 30psi with a michellin and 1 grind. oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desire68 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Ok guy's,i'm still a noob so don't flame me for this,but i've been looking in to this whole tire pressure thing(and i don't mean to state the obvious!) but if rider (x) is 7.5 stone and rider :ermm: is 15 stone then the 20psi in the rear wheel of rider (x) is going to feel a whole lot harder than the same psi in the rear wheel of rider :). Assuming we agree on this,then it should mean that the psi of the tires is TOTALLY down to the rider and how much he weighs and not what seems to be a good pressure for someone else! Just my 2p worth Lol!! Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) It's also affected by how smooth the rider is and the volume of the tyre. EDIT Silly question. :ermm:" Edited April 14, 2005 by div Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Must have twatted it pretty hard to do that. I run 23psi back and front and have given my ronnie some kinda harsh beef lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH!P Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) You fat b*****d Corish! You should see some of the landing's I've had on mine and it's still fine... on 18psi. No dints what so ever. You're just fat :S" :) Edited April 14, 2005 by CH!P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 ronnie are solid, and dont u ever doubt that.... 4 grinds? could be f**k all if u grind light, then again, if u grind hard, 4 grinds is enough to take away more than half the sidewalls!!!! ronnies are solid as hell, check out the ronnie thread in sites/pics/vids. ive been running my ronnie for 6 months now, and depsite several large dents its not flat spotted at all, and its a fecking tough rim!!!! and 20psi is NOT a hard presure, 40psi+ is hard, 20 is soft as fook for any serious riding.... you try doing anything large with 20psi and you WILL be rimming out the whole time.... no doubt the reason you ahve kiled the ronnie !!!! ronnies may weight a bit as tehy come from SC, but stick 1'' holes in them and they are a VERY respectable weight, with seemingly no loss of strength! ive been running ronnie/reggie rims for about 6 months now, and i love them. tehy didnt fall out of true at all for the first 4 months, so i decided to drill the holes bigger, ive not got 7/8ths holes in the front and 1'' in the rear, which is about as large as you can safely go i hve now a very stiff strong, and relatively light wheelset ronnies all the way :) best rim to emerge sinse the 521 IMO ← Ronnie's are blatently rubbish Nick :D. Same weight as BMFs even though they're drilled, and strength is pretty similar i'd say. Infact I think Ronnie's are even weaker. Mines been trouble from day 1. I keep snapping spokes, something i never did with my 521. So far I've snapped 15 spokes on my Ronnie :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rims flex too much on landing causing spokes to snap, I know other riders who've had same problems with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know anyone who's snapped spokes in a Ronnie, they don't seem THAT heavy and personally I've found them to be nothing but strong. Meh, I dno.

TomN Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I haven't grinded my Ronnie rim yet and I have landed very hard quite a few times and I haven't got a dent yet, nor have my Megamo got a dent and I rimed that loads of times.

cultiv8ed ::Chris:: Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 imo ronnie is the next strongest rim to a D521 bearing in mind the width, of course there are stronger 32mm wide rims, but i have had not one problem with mine not a single dent yet. The other good think is you don't have to keep grinding them as often unlike the hog/viz/koxx rim. For me it gets a big :S chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
