Brian Bleech Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 It will be fine, probably just needs trueing up again :huh: but my sun rhyno lite xl is a great rim and its welded! A lot better than the DMR one I was using! It was a nicer rim to build up than my mates koxx rim too. Good Rims overall. Not cheesy either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Im one of veryt few to destroy a well built sun mag30 rim, i was hucking silly hieghts to stairs in london though. It got warrentied. Sun rims are a real alternative to mavic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) my sun rim is amazing, i'll be getting another one if this one ever dies... i'm consiering a sun doublewide 24" for the rear of a street bike, grind the side to give it a braking surface and then drill it to make it weigh less than me and it'll be sweet :huh: Edited April 19, 2005 by spunkey_monkey_boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 sounds like my old double wide, it had 104 holes that I drilled :huh: I found grinds lasted ages on them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 double wide rims are really good strong rims, and they really are very wide. the singlewide looks interesting i wonder what effect a maggie would have on those sidewalls (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 tried it (I have my old rim for sale on ebay) it worked very well, grinds lasted ages, but it was too narrow for my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Is this for 24"? If so, Tioga? Sun Rhyno Lite, Or my aircorps took a good thrashing actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Rhyno Lite, Or my aircorps took a good thrashing actually. ← Id steer clear of Atomlab rims there liike cheese as bad as Halo wheels. As for single wides I had single tracks on my le toy, lasted over a year, no other wheel has lasted that long with me and i wasnt affraid to abuse the bike.

Ali C Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 they are heavy though, my drilled one still weighed about 850g. I also found it flat spotted easier than other rims, but I did hammer mine into walls pretty hard, I chipped bits of wall off when I rimmed out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
